outside the womb

In Arizona, the abortion ballot will determine whether or not to amend the state constitution to allow a woman to end a pregnancy up to the time at which a foetus could survive outside the womb.

Should the proposed amendment come into effect, abortions would be permitted until a fetus could survive outside the womb, which is typically around 24 weeks.

Yet the idea that 19th century lawmakers contemplated that unborn children could survive outside the womb as were the frozen embryos, and granted them legal rights is plainly absurd.

The time these babies live outside the womb is counted in precious minutes.

A proposed ballot measure would allow abortions until a fetus could survive outside the womb, typically around 24 weeks, with exceptions to save the parent’s life or to protect her physical or mental health.
