re: SCOTUS blocks AZ's 20-week (age of fetus) abortion ban

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.
