Very convenient for them to start saying after passing laws allowing full-term abortion. Viability was never the metric until Clarence Thomas looked like he was going to bitch smack them back to 1776.
It was the original metric used when Roe v Wade was ruled. Apparently they went through the data to find the point where a premature birth would have a chance of actually living, ergo viability.
In my observance it seems that a lot of people justify abortion by saying by making others think that a huge number of abortions are done because of rape, incest, birth defects, and so on.
Basically they want you to believe that; if a baby was not conceived under some perfectly magical circumstances, and if any "defects" - however you measure and define that! - are detected, then you are justified in destroying that innocent life.
When you apply even kindergarten level logic to this topic it is simultaneously revolting, sad, disgusting and pathetic how patently absurd are all of the justifications for murdering babies.
The "what about rape" argument is how the Left wins all of its arguments. It reduces it down into the most emotion-driven nonsense. You wouldn't force a woman to carry her rapists baby, would you?
The Left writes soap operas with everything:
You aren't vaccinated? You don't want to die on a ventilator, do you?
You want innocent Mexican mothers and children to be denied a chance of life and opportunity in America? You want them to die in Mexico at the hands of a cartel?
You want young black men to be incarcerated forever just for carrying a joint?
Why is “Viability” a metric?

A bullshit metric, IMO. A 6 month old baby is not viable without its mother (or a suitable analogue).
