For those clinging to the idea that, "Well, these are 22 week babies at the oldest, they couldn't survive even if you did provide care," I looked at the margin of error in estimating gestation age -- as well as the fact that while this facility's cut-off is 22 weeks, others do elective abortions as late as 26 weeks.
These 22 week babies might actually be 24 week babies with a 40-70% survival rate.
Though, of course, if you wrap them in a towel and stick them in a closet, they have a 0% chance of survival.
