Viability is the ability of a fetus to survive outside the uterus without artificial aid. People ARE viable. Not all fetuses are.

"Too bad"? It must be nice to be able to blanket all 15yo girls like that to put forth your own personal beliefs. Even those that are against what the SCOTUS has determined.
Thanks for the back handed insult, is that all the hard liners have(?), but I guess you didn't read my posts here. I'm pro-life.
I'm also more open to other opinions. You should try it some time

Yes. She has the right to decide if she wants to allow her body to be USED to support this fetus. It's HER choice.

I don't understand your confusion...
People walking down the street surviving because of artificial aid are NOT depending on someone's uterus for their survival.

Sheesh.
