I am not sure I follow your 21 or 25 week scenario. I already stated in my opinion an abortion can be performed up until birth in the case of a medical emergency, just not a rape.
A fetus isn't viable until 21-25 weeks, meaning it cannot survive outside the womb. So let's say a mother's water breaks at 19 weeks, and the baby cannot survive without the protective sac, but it's still alive for the time being--- but not for long maybe a week . The baby will eventually die before it gets to 21-25 weeks (Viability), so if made to keep the fetus inside the womb until the baby dies, the mother will in most cases become septic. At this point, the mother's life is in grave danger. So a no-exception provision, as the GOP extremist agenda pushed, could cause both the death of the mother and the fetus. As soon as the OBGYN discovers the mother cannot support the fetus until viability, it needs to be aborted immediately, or else you're planning two funerals.
Bottom line: Let the licensed medical physicians (OBGYNs) do their damn job, and politicians need to stay out of the way.
FYI, the majority of rape victims do not immediately report the assault. Why, it's b/c most are in denial of the trauma they just endured and don't want to re-live the assault.
