This will sound stupid and sexist maybe and the abortion thing has never held much fascination to me, but 15 weeks is a long time, almost 4 months. I'm pretty sure it didn't take 15 weeks for her to spread her legs. How could she wait that long missing that many periods and the other symptoms, before figuring out, she's knocked up and not even ready to bring a baby into the world for whatever reason?
You guys are right, though. The states have to decide something, as it has been dumped back in their lap, now, because legislators didn't want to deal with it over 50 years ago and The Supremes came up with an immaculate conception of a ruling, when the legislators did nothing back then and all this time since, but politic and fund raise on it.
I mostly agree with you. But in case anyone didn't know, when you GET pg you are technically two weeks pg. Pg is dated from your last menstrual period.
So a woman misses her first period at 4 weeks pg, her second period at 8 weeks, and her third period at 12 weeks. If she has NORMAL periods, she has now missed three.
I used to myself wonder how any woman wouldn't know she was pg by, say, 10 weeks. But then I caught a few episodes of the show "I Didn't Know I Was Pregnant" (hey I watch crap TV sometimes) and unbelievably, there are women who GO INTO LABOR and don't know they are pregnant. (!) Many times they were on birth control and so their periods were off, etc etc etc.
I don't say any of this to justify abortion, btw. I'm pro-life. I'm just saying for many women it's quite possible to get to 15 weeks and not realize you're pregnant.
Honestly, rather than teach kids in school about 587 genders, I really wish we would teach them (with parental consent) more about basic biology. Here's how your body works, here's when you ovulate, here are the first signs of pregnancy, etc. Here's what emergency contraception does.
