I'm pro-choice to a certain point and I think 20 weeks is fair enough. It gives the woman more than enough time to find out she's pregnant and make a decision (even in cases of rape) and it's enough time to test for abnormalities. As far as a woman's life being in jeopardy after 20 weeks and needing to abort, that's never happened anyway. The hospital would deliver the baby C-section and may not bother to resuscitate the baby if it was under 21 weeks, but they wouldn't perform an abortion.
