Ginsberg: “It blurs the line, firmly drawn in Casey,between previability and postviability abortions.”

Wait a minute. What is this “firmly drawn” line? Is this sophistry or what?

I guess that we need to draw the line at the current record, which is held by Amillia Sonja Taylor. Little Amelia was born on October 24, 2006, and went home in February with no major long-term medical complications. Therefore, 5 months and ten days is a proven “firmly drawn” line of viability. However, to be on the safe side (and because I like round figures), I would personally recommend 5 months at this point (and medical science is sure to catch up soon anyway), or a month earlier than the "fetus" pictured in Ben's photo in the pervious post.

Casey was one of the worst opinions ever. It was written by O'Connor. Basically, it said that we should go on allowing abortion because the Supreme Court had already decided Roe v. Wade, and now women are counting on being able to abort.
