Ten US states and the District of Columbia do not have a statutory gestational limit or specific ban on abortion at any stage of pregnancy, allowing the procedure to be performed later in pregnancy based on a doctor’s medical judgment.

Thirteen states ban abortion entirely at all stages of pregnancy, with very narrow exceptions (such as saving the life of the pregnant. Many other states set time limits. These limits range from 6 weeks of pregnancy to around 24 weeks, which is the point of fetal viability (when a fetus can survive outside the womb). But also at 18 weeks the fetus may survive and is a new life.

The following ten states and Washington D.C. have no state-imposed gestational duration limits: Alaska, Colorado, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey, New Mexico, Oregon, Vermont, District of Columbia. Interestingly all of these states are Democratic except Alaska which is Republican.

The landscape of abortion access in the United States continues to shift rapidly in the wake of the Supreme Court’s June 2022 ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which overturned Roe v. Wade and eliminated the federal constitutional right to abortion. Since then, many state legislatures have created new abortion restrictions and bans, and many have begun enforcing existing ones. Despite these bans, people can still access abortion care via tele-health from states with shield laws or by traveling to another state.

I Am Who I Am wants any fetus which is born, with help or not, alive to be considered a human. All care must be applied in order to save a human. A born human receives a sinless soul at birth. A baby born below is very vulnerable and shall taken care for. I Am Who I Am does not allow to give a baby born before 24 weeks to give a sedation to die. This is murder. The sin of murder applies to the mother and to the doctor who authorizes the murder.
