Abortion should never go away. I personally have no issue with a woman making a decision up to 15 weeks during her pregnancy.
The earliest a baby has been born and survived is 21 weeks and 5 days. Two babies born prematurely hold the record for this. Surprisingly, the first record holder was born in 1987, at a time when the medical care of premature babies (neonatology) was a very new field.
At the end of the 4th week of gestation, the heartbeats of the embryo begin. The heart, whose development starts at the 3rd week of gestation, has rapid and irregular contractions capable of pumping the blood inside the vessels.

The substantial published scientific literature on the topic shows that unborn babies can experience pain at least by 15 weeks gestational age (15 weeks LMP, since Last Menstrual Period, the fetal age estimate used by most obstetricians) or earlier.
Ww know a lot more about the fetus/unborn baby each year. A lot of people say trust the science. Roe vs. Wade was way behind on knowing the specifics of unborn babies. Doe's' it make sense to use science to guide each state's decision versus emotion. I understand this is a very emotional and tough decision to decide to abort a baby. Mothers should be educated to the law and also the well being of their fetus as it is developing. This way they can make a decision to abort within 15 weeks so they baby does not suffer.
I don't see any reason any state would object to exceptions, number 1 being the health of the mother after 15 weeks. I understand (I have 3 daughters) a woman should have a say as their body, but at a certain time a fetus turns into a baby. There are many stories of women getting abortions after 15 weeks and the baby was alive, but since the woman wanted the baby terminated (aborted), the doctor had to kill the baby.
There has to be middle ground with abortion in every state. All parties need to be open minded, use today's science and solutions to make everyone satisfied can be achieved.
