If the baby can survive outside the womb is abortion "murder"?

Forgiveable.
There must exist somewhere, a compilation of reasons given for abortions performed after 24 weeks... and I doubt that it consists of much more than lethal fetal abnormalities and threats to the life of the mother.

Both of these are too restrictive.

I have a niece that had an abortion in the 5th month--she was not realistically in danger of death. She was in danger of blindness and the treatment would do bad things to the fetus. Thus abort/treat/try again.

I do not recall the year beyond that it was many years ago. No state.

It doesn't really matter.
For decades after the 1973 RvW decision, patients and their medical care staff decided what to do. That was just that.

Now we have a bunch of idiots in state government practicing medicine without a license, chasing political power and wealth in a "Crueler than Thou" competition.

I'm no fan of casual abortion but the shit show going on in the USA right now is an abomination!
