The math doesn't work.

What are you struggling with? Plenty of people have babies born that early. They have a long road a head of them.

No, they don't. The earliest babies that survive are 23-24 weeks. Maybe a rare 22 weeker. That is 18 weeks early, or approximately 4.5 months. No way can a baby born at 20 weeks survive.

Well, this one has survived for 5 days so far. Really throws our country's approval of late abortion into sharp focus, doesn't it?

One month *is almost* 4.5 weeks.
Five months would be 22 weeks early.
(Also 6 months is 26 weeks, so five months would be 21.5-22 weeks early)

So, baby as born at 18 weeks? I doubt it.

Some of you are simpleminded.

This baby was not five months early. No way.

Maybe the due date was off or maybe they aren't being precise about the dates. That's not the point. I wish them the best and will say a a prayer.

So what's if the due date was off? What?

Maybe she was further along than she realized.

Babies that early do not survive.

Not really. It's not as if those who have late term abortions are just blithely waiting around until the fetus is close to viable to abort. Pregnancies that are terminated that late in the game are largely due to finding out about some terrible news about the health of the mother, the health of the fetus, or both.

You don't think the doctors would figure that out?

Of course. But the doctors haven't commented.

+1 Get educated before making such a stupid, ignorant, obviously-intentionally-inflammatory-but made-you-look-dumb-because-you-are comment.
