Viability from a medical perspective is generally around 24 weeks now.

Why is viability so determinative in deciding whether or not a human being is under the protection of the law?

I mean an otherwise healthy person who suffers multiple gunshot wounds, and is on heavy life support - no one suggests that anyone would be justified in cutting off his life support "just because" he can't live without it (that's sort of the point) OR argue that coming in and cutting off his life support (and/or cutting him into little pieces and throwing him out with the garbage) would not constitute an act of homicide - manslaughter at a minimum, and quite possible murder - depending on the specific facts and intentions of such a person.

Those of you who "100%" support the right to choose - is this your position right up to delivery i.e. 40 weeks minus a few hours?
