Baby Girl Born at 23-weeks-old Lives
This is such amazing news and I’m sure it’ll bring controversy around the abortion vs. non-abortion rallies for a while. But a little girl by the name of Ellie-Suzanne Fish was born at 23-weeks old.
For those that don’t know a legal abortion is okay at up to 24-weeks of a pregnancy. However, this little girl was actually born at 23-weeks old and has recently went home after 9-months of being in hospital care. Doctors never thought the tiny baby (embryo as some would call her) would ever survive. Skin wasn’t even totally created yet and they could see her blood coursing through her tiny body.
When she was born she only weighed 1lb 4.7oz and today weighs 14lbs. Talk about your miracle baby, while she isn’t completely out of the woods, she’s already beaten most of the odds of living. Source

Actually, the time period for an abortion to be “legal” depends on the state (or country) you’re in. In my state, for example, a woman cannot have an abortion after 20 weeks unless her life is seriously in danger or the child to be born has grave defects.
