This is fine. Anything that protects preborn life is good. But, it is being informed by the matter of "viability" outside the mother and fails to recognize the humanity of the child at all points from conception.

My 92 year old father in law died on Saturday. He has not been "viable" for several years. He was blind and suffered from dementia.

He could not have survived w/o the life support that we provided him. Did he cease being a human being?

I am thankful for any progress at all…

Not satisfied, but thankful.
