The only crime here is the crime against humanity of taking away a person's agency over their own body

They had the agency to take care of this for 20 damn weeks into the pregnancy where they were at 100% legally, even disregarding the options we all have to prevent conception in the first place.

On top of that, fetuses are viable outside the womb at 24 weeks, assuming the pregnant woman doesn't kill it at week 28 using medicine as this one did. I can't help but feel that makes 24 weeks a pretty important deadline for when this sort of choice is more than just about the pregnant woman.

Yeah it’s horrible for innocent people to be deprived of life against their own will

Wow what a brave person arguing for the rights of those who can't speak for themselves! How do you know what the fetus wants?

I can’t think of a single organism that doesn’t have a survival instinct
