I hope these people are prosecuted for murder if this is true. 23 weeks is viable. These women are not given INFORMED consent.
What moron at 23 weeks gestation needs informed consent? By that time the baby moves, and moves a lot. There is a life inside her that she cannot ignore by this point. Either you are male, never had a baby, or been in the desert way too long. 23 weeks gestation is way past the informed consent stage, unless she is numb from the neck down.
