Abotion is legal up to...
Explanation
Abortion is legal up to 24 weeks because this is the time frame that is generally considered the threshold for fetal viability. Before 24 weeks, the fetus is not yet capable of surviving outside the womb. This legal limit is based on the belief that the decision to terminate a pregnancy should be made by the woman in consultation with her healthcare provider, taking into consideration her physical and mental health, as well as other relevant factors. After 24 weeks, restrictions on abortion may apply, unless there is a risk to the woman's life or severe fetal abnormalities are detected.Rate this question:

Supporters of ________ believe that life doens't really begin until the baby is born or it can survive outside of the womb.
Correct Answer
Pro-choiceExplanation
Supporters of pro-choice believe that life doesn't really begin until the baby is born or can survive outside of the womb. This belief is rooted in the idea that a fetus does not have the same rights as a fully developed human being and that a woman should have the right to make decisions regarding her own body, including the decision to terminate a pregnancy. Pro-choice advocates argue that until the fetus reaches a certain stage of development, it is not considered a separate and independent life.Rate this question:

One of the conditions of just war states, that aproval is not necessary.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
The statement is false because one of the conditions of just war is that approval is necessary. In order for a war to be considered just, it must be authorized by a legitimate authority, such as a government or international organization. This authorization ensures that the decision to go to war is made with careful consideration and accountability, rather than being left to the discretion of individuals or groups. Therefore, approval is an important requirement for a war to be considered just.Rate this question:
