No matter what your position on abortion is, all people should agree that no abortions should be performed after the 24th week of pregnancy for any reason except to actually save the life of the mother. This must mean that a woman would die if the baby is not aborted. That very, very rarely occurs since the advent of C-sections. And if medical science determines that viability is even earlier than the 24th week of pregnancy then the marker should be set there.
Indeed a decent society would prohibit all abortions after the first trimester to keep the marker a safe distance from the point of viability while still allowing for an abortion in the later timeframe to save the mother's life.
