It is generally accepted that a 28-week-old fetus that doesn't need resuscitation is viable. However, ing to WHO, fetal viability is possible after 20 weeks of fetal life (22 weeks of amenorrhea). Anthropometrical characteristics as well as clinical parameters of fetal age estimation are of high importance.
Medical viability is generally considered to be between 23 and 24 weeks gestational age, meaning that these newborns have a < 50% chance of either dying or surviving with severe impairment if active care is instituted; this applies to most fetuses at ≥ 24 weeks of gestation, and to some fetuses at 23 weeks of gestation ...
The Arizona Abortion Access Act creates a “fundamental right” to receive abortion care up until fetal viability, with exceptions after that to “protect the life or physical or mental health of the pregnant individual.” The Act was officially added to the state's constitution on November 25.
Arizonans have a constitutional right to access abortion care until the point in pregnancy when it is significantly likely the fetus could survive outside the uterus (also called “fetal viability”). This point is usually between 22-25 weeks of pregnancy, but depends on the health of the mother and the fetus.

Highlights. 41 states have abortion bans in effect (Table 1) with only limited exceptions (Table 2). 12 states have a total abortion ban. 29 states have abortion bans based on gestational duration.
California only limits abortions after the point of viability, which is when a physician determines based on a good-faith medical judgment that there is a reasonable likelihood the fetus can survive outside the uterus without extraordinary medical measures.
Since 2022, Arizona has enforced a law banning abortions after the 15th week of pregnancy. Proposition 139 will amend the state constitution to guarantee abortions access up to the point of fetal viability — around 24 weeks.
The California Supreme Court has recognized a right to abortion and voters explicitly enshrined abortion protections in the state Constitution in 2022. State law protects abortion and shields patients and providers from laws in other states. Voters enshrined abortion protections in the state Constitution in 2024.
