"...she used faulty logic to inextricably associate the viability question, which is tough to defeat on its own, with the partial personhood shenanigan, which is not." I'm not sure why you think the Viability option is hard to defeat since it is vague, completely arbitrary and moves almost every day with each new medical breakthrough. "There is no sharp limit of development, age, or weight at which a fetus automatically becomes viable.[22] According to data years 2003-2005, 20 to 35 percent of babies born at 23 weeks of gestation survive, while 50 to 70 percent of babies born at 24 to 25 weeks, and more than 90 percent born at 26 to 27 weeks, survive.[23] It is rare for a baby weighing less than 500 gm to survive.[22]" en.wikipedia.org
