Just because right-wingers think that pregnancy begins at the first day of the previous menstruation, that does not mean they are correct. They are wrong about this. They are actually banning abortions at the 4 week mark (or the 13 week mark). Now that modern science has more accurate and irrefutable data on all this, I think that scientists should join forces with lawyers to at least allow women to reach the REAL 6 week mark or the REAL 15 week mark. Why should ignorant right-wingers be allowed to win when they are obviously delusional?

monitor boat traffic in the Florida Straight to see if they’re sailing to someplace where abortion is legal? (There’s a large Caribbean island over 90 miles away where getting an abortion isn’t a crime).
