I think 3rd trimester abortions are still legal, so it is possible.
And before 22 weeks, it's not viable for life OUTSIDE the womb, but it is living.
ETA: I guess I just have a hard time grasping that all of a sudden, at 22 weeks, it's magically viable for life outside the womb, and so should be given semi-consideration for life, but before that, it's just a mass of cells, so trash it if you want.
