There’s a kind of national mean on abortion limits in the United States—a significant majority of states, from the most conservative to the most liberal, ban the procedure somewhere between 22 weeks and viability, which “most obstetrician-gynecologists understand ... as occurring near 24 weeks gestation,” according to American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. There are only seven states...that don’t limit abortion by gestational age at all. And only three let women wait until their third trimester begins, around 28 weeks.
