Well, the mother was only 11 weeks along - outside of those of us who are pro-abortion, is that generally considered non-viable?

Not a doctor but I doubt it. Isn't pregnancy usually about 40 weeks give or take?

Ohhh, I read it as a comment about the pregnancy not being able to progress normally, rather than nonviable outside the womb right then.

Maybe my post really is about my reading skills.
