We should really only use this response for trolls.

I thought it was now illegal to call people who aren't trolls, trolls.

Babies do survive outside the womb at 20 weeks

yes maybe a 20 week old baby won't survive out the womb. but i'm talking about the potential. it WILL grow, if left alone. that's the qualification. if something will grow into a human, then I consider it human

Your reasoning for not counting just sperm as something that will grow into a human but an egg is just arbitrary. Yes the sperm won't grow into a human without an egg, but a fetus requires outside factors as well to grow. It's not like it's self-sustaining.

There is essentially a 0% chance of a baby being born at 20 weeks surviving.

Maybe they should have gone for 22 weeks instead of 20? in 2015 there was a study that said babies at 22 weeks had a 25% survival rate, Im sure 3 years later that number is only growing, and babies are surviving younger

the idea is that putting it at 20, when checks for certain abnormalities like down syndrome are done, will mean there will be little time to schedule an abortion

Half the country is 24-26. A fifth of the country is already at 22 weeks. A few even earlier.

lol what? From my imgur account?

Is it from your account? I don't know. It's just what showed up under your pic and I liked that first hovercat pic so I loaded the rest and didn't expect it to turn into a long elaborate story, but I enjoyed it enough to initially forget to go back up to the initial pic >_>
