129. can we cut the silly rhetoric
viable fetus has a specific meaning in the medical field.

and no, it does not mean a GUARANTEE of viability.

fwiw, there is no guarantee any baby that goes to sleep peacefully at night with no known health problems will survive the night (see": SIDS)

viable has a precise, scientific meaning.

playing word games with the meaning of viable, is as anti-scientific and emotionally laden as any other silly counter argument.
