Hmmm. I’m not sure where you’re getting that figure. I was looking at some statistics from 2007. It says:

“More than nine in 10 occur in the first 12 weeks of pregnancy and more than six in 10 occur in the first eight weeks.[37] The availability of medication abortion and new techniques that allow surgical abortions to be performed earlier in pregnancy are likely to reinforce the trend toward earlier abortions.”

This is from: Pazol K et al., Abortion Surveillance—United States, 2007, MMWR Surveillance Summaries, 2011, Vol. 60, No. SS-01.

So this would be a game changer.

Thanks for the numbers.

So more than 90% of abortions occur before 20 weeks.
That makes this legislation worse.

It stops less than 1 in 10 abortions and it gives legitimacy to abortions by defining life in terms of viability...which will make it all the harder to stop the vast majority of abortions.
