List of people born after a failed abortion attempt
This is a list of people born after a failed abortion attempt.
Although it is very uncommon, women undergoing surgical abortion after 18 weeks gestation sometimes give birth to a fetus that may briefly.[1][2][3] The periviable period is considered to be between 20 to 25 weeks gestation.[4] Long-term survival is possible after 22 weeks.[5] However, odds of long-term survival between 22 and 23 weeks are 2-3 percent and odds of survival between 23 and 24 weeks are 20 percent.[6] "Intact survival", which means survival of a neonate without subsequent damage to organs such as the brain or bowel is 1% at 22 weeks and 13% at 23 weeks.[6] Survival odds increase with increasing gestational age.[6]

Transient survival with misoprostol for labor induction abortion at greater than 18 weeks ranges from 0% to 50% and has been observed in up to 13% of abortions performed with high-dose oxytocin.

following later abortions at greater than 20 weeks, the rare but catastrophic occurrence of live births can lead to fractious controversy over neonatal management.

"I survived the abortion that was meant to take my life and successfully took the life of my twin,” Culwell said. “My daughter wouldn’t be here if I hadn’t survived. I can’t imagine life without her. Passing the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act means that we’re protecting the lives of people like myself and my daughter.”"
