22 to 25 weeks

That's the end of the second trimester. Babies born at this stage of development are very weak, and notjust a few die, despite the hospital's best efforts. But the child pictured in this article (about the survival rates of very young preemies) is a person nevertheless.

Unless the mom didn't want him. Then, "it" might just be an abortion (warning: this links to the WebMD description of one such procedure). That thought makes me ill.

Yes. Sick. Are you familiar with Obama's position about the Born Alive Infant Protection Bill? That is another sick read.
