Facts are important: Listen to ACOG, not misogynist politicians on viability
By 
Freedom loving people agree that the world would be a better place if he and all similarly-minded perverts choked to death on stale Doritos. But such people should also spur us revisit the medical experts. For one thing, it is good to be well-informed. For another, we can remember the depth and breadth of the lies anti-abortionists spread.
The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecology has wealth of information, including a public-friendly document titled Facts Are Important: Understanding and Navigating Viability, that anyone can read before they spout off about viability.
Here’s the introduction, but you really should read the whole thing. You’ll probably learn something you didn’t know.
The concept of viability of a fetus is frequently misrepresented or misinterpreted based on ideological principles. This perpetuates incorrect and unscientific understandings of medical terms and leads to interference in the practice of medicine. As people across the United States continue to navigate the developing post-Dobbs landscape, it’s critical that medical terminology be understood through the lens of science rather than the lens of political application and interpretation. Understanding viability is especially important as policy makers and those who interpret policy draw on the concept of viability in order to inform and create laws. As such, ACOG strongly discourages the inclusion of viability in legislation or regulation.
This document will explain how the term “viability” is used in the context of medical practice during pregnancy and how viability relates to the provision of abortion care and affirm how using terminology inaccurately, including inaccurate use by policy makers, can prevent patients from receiving essential health care grounded in evidence and science.
