I don't think the birth canal is the test - it's viability, generally, and that is arbitrarily demarcated by age. About 90% of babies born around 28-29 weeks will survive. It's 50-50 around 24 weeks, only 20% at 23 weeks. A lot of that survival is due to extreme medical intervention.

And plenty of people on the right would argue for abortion well into adulthood and not by the mother's choice but by the state.push abortion to several years after birth as a woman's "choice".
