More details from petition creator
Given the advances in medical science over the past two decades, most babies now born after 24 weeks gestation are completely viable. They also have a fully developed central nervous system and feel pain in just the same way as a baby born at full term.
It is therefore uspeakably cruel for fetuses who have reached this gestational age to have their lives terminated by abortion.
