I've never mentioned survival rate. But your comparison remains erroneous.

Then complain about the person who brought it up as a factor.

A baby at 30 weeks of development still within the womb is a person entitled to protection. It’s no different than a premie in the NICU.

The placenta also develops at this point in the first trimester. The placenta is a round, flat organ that transfers nutrients from the mother to the baby, and transfers waste from the baby.
A primitive face takes form with large dark circles for eyes. The mouth, lower jaw, and throat are developing. Blood cells are taking shape, and circulation will begin.
By the end of the first month of pregnancy, your baby is around 6-7mm (1/4 inch) long - about the size of a grain of rice!"

Most call it a baby but for this discussion terms and words are important.

One does not get determine if there is a life. There simply is. Society does determine when it gets protected.

We are never going to make all abortions illegal. You would rather argue for something that is never going to happen as opposed for things that would lessen the reasons a woman would abort.

I’d argue that making all abortions illegal is ridiculous.
