For medical reasons it should not have a gestation limit. For non medical reasons, 24 weeks works and we already have it.

Anomalies with the baby can show up 20 weeks and later. Having a limit at 24 weeks is no different than the future potential argument.

Anomalies would fall under medical. There should be a gestation limit to non-medical abortion, and 24 weeks seems like the least arbitrary. Abortions after 20 weeks are already a very small percentage of all abortions, and I'm sure the vast majority of those are for medical reasons.
