<i>New York Times</i> Falsely Reports Babies Born 20 Weeks After Conception Aren’t ‘Viable’

Published



The House of Represenatives will vote today on a bill that would ban abortion after the fifth month of pregnancy, when science indicates that infants can feel pain and survive long-term if born prematurely.

The New York Times claims that the bill’s 20-week limit on abortion is actually established two weeks prior to viability: “Prohibiting most abortions 20 weeks after fertilization would run counter to the Supreme Court’s standard of fetal viability, which is generally put at 22 to 24 weeks after fertilization.”
