That's my point. The legal argument of "abortion is murder" is shakier before 5 months, because before 5 months, the baby is not viable.
This whole 5 months or 20-week thing is, in essence, the viability argument. Basically, it deals with the issue that a fetus cannot survive on its own until after that point. A lot of people don't care about this issue. For them, it's all about human life beginning at conception.
Then I guess that's what you'd put my view under.
