Dude there is a real big difference between premature and fetus.
Again, you know that. I constantly find myself wondering if you know what google is. 24 weeks right now is when you can abort. It is very rare that a child is born before this and survives. If they do they probably have life altering issues. Try again.

Alright, last comment. The definition of fetus has the words human and baby in it.

fe·tus

/ˈfēdəs/

noun

an unborn offspring of a mammal, in particular an unborn human baby more than eight weeks after conception.

So calling the kid/baby/child a fetus is admitting its human. It's just wordplay to make abortion not sound like what it really is. Ending a baby, child, kids life.

The second trimester marks the onset of other critical reflexes: continuous breathing movements (that is, rhythmic contractions of the diaphragm and chest muscles) and coordinated sucking and swallowing reflexes. These abilities are controlled by the brainstem, which sits above the spinal cord but below the higher, more recently-evolved cerebral cortex. The brainstem is responsible for many of our body’s most vital functions–heart rate, breathing, and blood pressure. [B]It is largely mature by the end of the second trimester, which is when babies first become able to survive outside the womb.
[/B]
[B]Last of all to mature is the cerebral cortex, which is responsible for most of what we think of as mental life–conscious experience, voluntary actions, thinking, remembering, and feeling. It has only begun to function around the time gestation comes to an end.

The second trimester of pregnancy is often called the "golden period" because many of the unpleasant effects of early pregnancy disappear. During the second trimester, you're likely to experience decreased nausea, better sleep patterns and an increased energy level. However, you may experience a whole new set of symptoms, such as back pain, abdominal pain, leg cramps, constipation and heartburn.

Somewhere between 16 weeks and 20 weeks, you may feel your baby's first fluttering movements.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, [B]about 1.3 percent of abortions were performed at or greater than 21 weeks of gestation in 2015[/B]. In contrast, 91.1 percent were performed at or before 13 weeks and 7.6 percent at 14 to 20 weeks.

We can all have our own line and opinion of when a fetus becomes a human being. We can disagree on where that line should be but I think we all agree that it does come down to a subjective decision in the end.

I think 20 weeks is my line.

A fetus cortex isnt developed yet, its cerebral cortex doesnt begin to develop until 24 weeks. The cerebral cortex is what makes us sentient beings. Its what makes us a living animal vs a living plant or tree. A fetus cant feel pain until the cerebral cortex is beginning to develop. Fetal movement in response to a prode is not fetal pain.

I view the religious rights push to ban abortion to be strictly based in their religious beliefs. The "life begins at conception" is not an honest argument based on science but a religious view point being used to try and guide laws and legislature.

For the religious right .. its not about science. Its about pushing their religious view points on all of us.

But is there room for nuance here?

Are they saying they should have the right to kill a 9 month old fetus just because they feel like it? Or are they saying they should have access to late term abortions in the event of a medical emergency involving the life of the fetus or the mother? Big difference between the two.

Re: Supreme Court vacancy
 

Feinstein then outright asked Kavanaugh what he meant by “settled law” and whether he believed Roe v. Wade to be correct law. Kavanaugh said he believed it was “settled as a precedent of the Supreme Court” and should be “entitled the respect under principles of stare decisis,” the notion that precedents should not be overturned without strong reason.

“And one of the important things to keep in mind about Roe v. Wade is that it has been reaffirmed many times over the past 45 years, as you know, and most prominently, most importantly, reaffirmed in Planned Parenthood v. Casey in 1992,” Kavanaugh said then.

Shortly afterward, Feinstein interrupted Kavanaugh to note that she had sat through nine confirmation hearings for Supreme Court justices, who had expressed similar sentiments about stare decisis.

“And when the subject comes up, the person says, ‘I will follow stare decisis,’ and they get confirmed, and then, of course, they do not,” she told Kavanaugh.

Kavanaugh did not answer Feinstein directly, instead pivoting to how he understood “how passionate and how deeply people feel about this issue.” He went on at length to talk about how Planned Parenthood v. Casey had reaffirmed Roe, making it “a precedent on precedent.”

“I understand the importance of the issue. I understand the importance that people attach to the Roe v. Wade decision, to the Planned Parenthood v. Casey decision,” Kavanaugh said. “I do not live in a bubble. I understand. I live in the real world. I understand the importance of the issue.”

Lets see how this plays out. No opinion is out yet.

Ignoring precedent and kicking this to the States is a political opinion.

If the SCOTUS becomes political .. it ceases to be viewed as an important independent check n balance to our 3 branch system.

Justices are supposed to follow the law, not their own deeply held religious beliefs and political ethos.

For those gnashing their teeth over Mississsippi's abortion law. You should know that its' law is in line with the vast majority of European Countries (and even still more permissive - 12-14 weeks being the norm). It's the US that is out of sync with the rest of the world on what is permissible when it comes to abortion. In other words we've implemented the extreme position of abortion legality.

You are leaving out the part where most European countries allow abortions past their cutoff mark for "broad socio-economic and mental health" reasons.

I have no idea how many abortions are performed in each European country past their cut off date but from what Im reading .. its broad and liberal.

The Mississippi law only allows exceptions for medical emergency or "severe fetal abnormality".

If a 19 year old that is 18 weeks pregnant can say she wants an abortion bc shes a student or working pay check to pay check and she can then get an exception to the 15 weeks ... thats far different from the reality of the Mississippi law.

inverse example (and maybe a bad example) but 45 States have exceptions for minors to drink alcohol but no one would say the drinking age in America is 16.

Re: Supreme Court vacancy
 

A new law limiting the use of abortion-inducing medication in Texas goes into effect Thursday.

The law makes it a felony to provide the medication after seven weeks of pregnancy, putting Texas at odds with federal regulations. It also makes it a crime to send the medication through the mail.

Medical abortion is the most common way women in Texas terminate their pregnancies, according to state data.

These new restrictions reflect a growing concern among abortion opponents about the rise of “self-managed” abortions, in which pregnant people obtain the medications from out-of-state or international providers, with or without a prescription.

There’s evidence that more women turn to self-managed abortions when legal abortion is restricted. Texans have been unable to access abortions after about six weeks of pregnancy since Sept. 1, when a controversial new ban went into effect.

“Texas is looking at the ways that people are navigating around restrictions and trying to essentially make that as unsafe and as frightening for people as possible in order to deter them,” said Farah Diaz-Tello, senior legal counsel for If/When/How, a reproductive justice legal group.

Diaz-Tello and other advocates worry that the new criminal penalties may make pregnant Texans fearful of seeking medical care after a self-managed abortion.

That is a bit of a stretch. Mississippi's exceptions for medical emergency or "severe fetal abnormality" is similar to European exceptions or in other words about as "broad and liberal." Of the examples below I prefer the French policy.

Germany - permits late-term abortions in cases of rape or if the physical or psychological health of the mother is considered at[B] risk of serious harm.
[/B] (vice any medical reason, even temporary, for the US).

France - Abortions in the second and third trimesters are permitted only if two physicians certify that it is necessary to save the life of the mother, to prevent grave and permanent harm to her health, or the child has a severe and incurable illness.

UK - permits [B]abortion for socio-economic reasons [/B]up to 24 weeks, but up to birth if “there is a substantial risk that if the child were born it would suffer from such physical or mental abnormalities as to be seriously handicapped.”

Netherlands - Abortions after 24 weeks are permitted in certain circumstances, such as when the unborn child has an untreatable “disorder” or is deemed likely to suffer after its birth.

Something we can agree on - they are better and if Mississippi's law isn't upheld they will return to being enormously better.

BTW speaking of half truths the Politifact is being extremely deceptive thru omission. Take this for example

" Reeves relied on one analysis, but that study made no allowances for broad exceptions in countries’ laws that could extend the cutoff point for a legal abortion well past the 15-week mark."

What Politifact fails to mention is that the longest extension they are alluding to takes it to 24 weeks (the UK) with most others ranging from 16-22 weeks. And again that is with extenuating circumstances. You know the ones that don't even begin to be considered in the US until 24 weeks.

Asking because not only does Mississippi want to criminalize abortion after 15? weeks - IIRC they only have like one clinic in the state which I assume is packed 24/7 because 1 clinic for an entire state is nowhere near enough to serve the population.

You keep arguing about specifics or individual line-items but you're ignoring the big picture. The big picture is to restrict or fully criminalize all abortion so that woman are completely deterred from doing it.

Limited facilities is a different type of apple (both are apples). My main concern is what is actually legal. The legality of the late term abortions that verge on infanticide is repugnant. Several thousand viable and healthy fetus's are aborted in the United States every year because of the extreme policy position the US has on abortion - Mississippi's law addresses some of that. Heck even if the Supreme Court rules that states can regulate from conception there will still be other states that permit abortions of healthy viable fetus's up to the second they would have been due (ie Vermont).

The argument that it is relatively rare holds no water with me - it being legal to abort a fetus that if delivered can live on it's own is unconscionable.
