Actually it's illegal after the 145th day of pregnancy (or 20 weeks, 5 days) unless the growing fetus is posing a health risk upon the mother.
Day 146+ fetuses are viable.
Note: I'm just going with the earliest fetal birth, so don't say I'm wrong.
Generally it's around 20 weeks, but I think the real date of viability lies in 22 weeks.
