Right?

Wrong. Unless I'm mistaken (and I admit, I could be), fetal viability is about a fetus' ability to pump blood on its own, breathe on its own, etc. Now, if I AM mistaken and fetal viability is solely about a fetus' ability to "survive" then no child is viable until they're about 2-3 years old - whenever it is they can feed and dress themselves.

So, sure, go ahead and hang your argument on survivability alone and be in favor of parents killing their 1-2 year olds because they're inconvenient, but that's okay because the child was unable to survive outside the womb.
