Damn man, I hate playing the parent card (as much as I hate people playing the woman card), but 22 weeks is insane. Its a full on person at that point. Look at the devastation that parents go through when they lose children at that point. (Heck, for a relevent example, look at what Evander Kane went through at just 26 weeks). The kid is starting to kick and punch around.

That and even further late term abortions is exactly why people are starting to push for even early cutoffs given these late term abortions (again, non-medical) are insanity in my view.
This is 22 weeks.

If you hate playing the parent card so much, then quit playing it. I'm a parent too, to an amazing kid who I couldn't imagine my life without, and will have another within the next few weeks. Abortion was never a thought for me with either kid, and yet all being a parent (and seeing the hardships of pregnancy and parenting) has done for me is solidify my opinion that people should get to have abortions if and when they want to (hell, as many times as they want to too, and yes, even at 22 weeks). There's nothing about being a parent that inherently makes you more pro-life (or pro-choice), so it's not even a good card to play.
