PREEMIES SURVIVE EARLIER

According to research [Univ College, London Hospitals], 42% of babies born there at 23 weeks (5 months, 3 weeks) gestation now survive, and 72% of the babies born at 24 weeks (6 months) gestation survive.

Some babies are known to survive at 20-22 weeks as well.

This should give pause to those who promote and consider late-term abortions.
