That may be true. If I remember correctly, and probably dont, I think Rowe states viability is 26 weeks. I think its closer to 23 weeks now. However, while RvW is the lynch pin of abortion, Casey v Planned Parenthood reaffirmed the courts ruling. Granted, that was 25 years ago, but that is why its will be so difficult. Would likely need a constitutional amendment.
In some European Countries, (or at least the few I looked up) 12 weeks seems to be the limit. Im ok with that. Thought the Germany was interesting (from wiki)
The two laws had to be reconciled after reunification. A new law was passed by the Bundestag in 1992, permitting first-trimester abortions on demand, subject to counseling and a three-day waiting period, and permitting late-term abortions when the physical or psychological health of the woman is seriously threatened. The law was quickly challenged in court by a number of individuals — including Chancellor Helmut Kohl — and by the State of Bavaria. The Constitutional Court decided a year later to maintain its earlier decision that the constitution protected the fetus from the moment of conception, but stated that it is within the discretion of parliament not to punish abortion in the first trimester,[citation needed] provided that the woman had submitted to state-regulated counseling intended to discourage termination and protect unborn life. Parliament passed such a law in 1995.[12] Abortions are covered by public health insurance.[citation needed]
Its funny. Germany protects the fetus and gives it right, in America, its opposite. But I also think medical advances are making a lot of people rethink their stance on abortion.
