I think it's fair to say that viability is a moving target.
There is and always will be diversity of opinion. All I am and have been saying is that there must be debate, and one's participation in the debate must not be squelched solely because they are male, female, white, black, liberal, conservative, feminist, gay, Christian, Jew, you get the idea.

except it isn't, it hasn't changed. still 24 weeks, based on the law, and survival of preemies.
yeah, debate should continue.
laws changing based on the opinion of some, especially when they will never be impacted is another story. as is anyone trying to base laws on theological opinion and belief, since this is a secular country.
and i'm not so sure, still, about your assertion regarding law and opinions. laws are usually in response to something occurring, that negatively impacts society. that's why murder is illegal, someone decorating their house in purple isn't.
