   Sweden made it 18.  The U.S. made it 20.   
      
   Normal gestation is 40.  3 Trimesters + 1 week.   
      
   There are no abortions in the U.S. after 20 weeks.  This is the first 1.5   
   Trimesters, plus 1/2 a week.  Giving the baby 1.5 Trimesters plus 1/2 a week,   
   or   
   over 4.5 months.  The debate should be if there is a ghost in the fetus during   
   the   
   other 1.5 months, and if the fetus needs six months, or at least what the   
   point is   
   past which it must be characterized as two adults attached.   
      
   There are 4.33 weeks in 1 month.
