I would think four or five months makes sense. At about month for you have indisputable brainwave activity. Death is measured by a loss of brain wave activity. Why not measure the start of Life the same way.? Of course with abortion the issue is not when life begins when life should be legally protected.
Right, but we have justices, including Roberts, saying the viability standard isn't important, and simply doesn't matter. None of the conservative justices offered an alternative standard, the most coherent argument was by Kavanaugh who simply wants toss it back to the states.
Still, it sounds like you think Mississippi's law should be unconstitutional, so I don't complain about that.
No I don't agree the Mississippi Law should be held unconstitutional. Roe was never well grounded in the Constitution. It was a policy decision made by the court. Nonetheless the ship has probably sailed on abortion being enshrined as a constitutional right. I just don't think there's anything special about viability versus other points in fetal development. Viability simply is too late to draw the line as a policy matter. A strong majority of people have trouble with second trimester abortions. Most countries actually draw the line at which abortion is prohibited much earlier than viability. I don't I think 15 weeks is unreasonable at all.
What do you imagine the line the court draws is?
