The stance puts Kennedy — who’s mounting long shot bid to unseat President Joe Biden as the Democratic standard bearer in 2024 — out of step with most of his party.

Can it survive outside the womb? If not, its still part of the mother and entirely her decision to remove it from her body.
Will it kill the mother? She takes priority as a living, thriving person with goals and aspirations.
Premies can and do survive being born three months early, or 24 weeks old. I agree that the mother’s safety takes precedence, which is what I meant by extraneous circumstances.
Do you not understand the difference between three months old and three months early?
I guess the difference is 3 months? Idk, I was trying to make a math joke but I’m not that good at math… kinda like that person above you
I asked “where do you feel the cutoff should be” to which someone else answered with a question saying “Can it survive outside the womb?”, which I answered “premies can and do survive being born up to three months early”. Do you see the chain of conversation now? Of course I understand the difference.
You opened by saying “three months is a reasonable cutoff”, then tried to back up your point by talking about the viability of six month old fetuses, but you intentionally worded it as 3 months premature rather than 6 months into development. You’re bullshitting.
Okay, you win. Congratulations.
Hang on I’m confused. You said a ban after 3 months is reasonable but the article you linked to says premature babies are likely to live after 6 months.
I said it seems reasonable to me considering the fetus has a developed brain at that point and asked what other people think is reasonable. Someone else said “when it can survive outside of the womb”, so I responded with the gestation period with at least a 50/50 chance of its survival. It’s not meant to be an argument, despite what that other commenter thinks.
Extreme medical intervention does not count as surviving outside the womb.
