That’s not actually what the law does though. It says:
> A FERTILIZED EGG, EMBRYO, OR FETUS DOES NOT HAVE INDEPENDENT OR DERIVATIVE RIGHTS UNDER THE LAWS OF THIS STATE
There is no limitation to viability. The defenses I’ve seen of the law (e.g. Politifact’s) mistakenly assume that Roe makes it impermissible to abort fetuses in the third trimester, which is incorrect.
