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.

When was that and in what State?

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