Although the means necessary may be extreme to do so, a twenty week old fetus surviving is well within the realm of possible today.

Good point. Of course, this is somewhat like "adulthood" (it really differs from person to person) but at some point there has to be a cutoff.

What is interesting is that only four Justices are needed to grant cert, which means that no more than three were willing to hear the case. So it appears that the 20-week rule won't be changing anytime soon.

No.
But misdiagnosis of gestational age, if ultrasound is not performed, is a very real possibility. It is certainly possible to mistake a 24wk pregnancy for one at 20 wks.
