FWIW, my view on abortion is essentially Singer's. Fetus isn't a person, can't have rights against mother, got to bite infanticide bullet.

@PhilosophyExp I thought the foetus was only considered a viable human being after 20 weeks?
@Personalwetness Yeah, but the key word there is "viable" - not "human being" (arguably)!

@PhilosophyExp Yes you're right but I think they mean can survive without medical intervention? -
@Personalwetness Need lots of medical intervention to survive at 20 weeks (incubators, etc) - but fetus can survive at (roughly) that point. -
@PhilosophyExp Yes, it used to be 22 weeks but as you say "messy" indeed. Moral dilemma or what?
