The point of viability.

The embryo is on a life support system outside it's own ability to survive.

It seems terrible to me that abortion takes place and I would not want to lightly enter into any decision making that might lead to it.
.
But, I can see situations where women are pregnant in which a marriage or a family might be destroyed. Bringing such a pregnancy to an end makes sense to me. Of course, if the embryo is brought to term, every option is changed.
.
So, what changes once a live birth has been achieved? How does that first breath make such a difference?
