7. A friend of mine survived being born at 26 weeks when the limit was officially 28 weeks
Babies, especially girls, do occasionally survive being born at 23 weeks nowadays, though the odds are against them. I don't think any baby ever survives being born before 22 weeks, however. And those MPs who want to put the abortion limit down to 13 weeks certainly have other motives than uncertainty about when viability is possible.
