Viability is defined as the point in a pregnancy that a fetus could potentially survive outside the womb. So the weeks of pre-viability are the weeks in the United States when it is still legal to have an abortion.
One of the common arguements "pro-choice" arguements I have heard is that the fetus is "just tissue" not a baby, not a person, not a living thing. This justification dehumanizes the fetus. My work here is an effort to humanize the fetus.
The onesie is an icon for babies and new life.
From a very early point in the pregnancy the fetus has arms and legs and could in theory fit into a onesie. These onesies are sized from the time the fetus has arms and legs until the latest point of legal abortion in a pregnancy, at which point the fetus has developed all 5 senses, can kick, swallow, breathe, and feel pain.
