Nearly a viable baby at that point...
lNope. A viable baby at that point. Viability starts about 24 weeks and even younger babies have survived.
Totally viable! My friends wife had a 5 month preme and she is just a beautiful baby now.
FULLY viable: -—OK, average 80% viable at 26 weeks.
This figure can go up or down depending on various factors like the baby’s weight at 26 weeks (hopefully more than 2 pounds), the use of steroids to speed up lung development, the availability of a state-of-the-art NICU, etc.
Aborting any baby is the crime of homicide. Aborting one at 26 weeks is especially hideous, since it involves the piece-by-piece dismemberment of a living child. Most women wouldn’t do such a cruel, barbaric thing to calf or a seal pup, let alone their own petite daughter or son.
Not nearly. They are viable at 22-23 weeks. They need a lot of medical intervention, but a lot have survived at that gestational age.
