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.

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.
