    Why is 28 any different than 2? Tf does it matter?

      In short: Fetuses are viable outside the womb by that point, and no US state has ever allowed abortions that late into pregnancy.

      Well at some point the fetus becomes a human and abortion becomes murder. There is a lot of debate where that line is.

        Actually there is no debate. It’s called a fetus until it is born. It doesn’t suddenly turn into a person with superior rights because some other person suddenly decides that now the woman lost the rights to her own body.
