In reply to the discussion: Georgia Governor Approves Ban On Abortions After 20 Weeks With No Exception For Rape Or Incest [View all]2pooped2pop
(5,420 posts)32. i agree with u
have not read the bill and anything put forth by republicans is bound to be full of shit, but I too have to agree that at some point, the baby has the right to survive.
20 weeks is the medical age of viability.
i am pro choice but make that decision before 5 months.
