New Iowa Law Restricts Abortion To Before Most Women Know They're Pregnant
RE: New Iowa Law Restricts Abortion To Before Most Women Know They're Pregnant
If I were to choose, I'd pick when the fetus first develops brain activity. Death (the generally accepted end of personhood) is generally determined when brain function stops, so it should make sense to start when it's first developed. And that usually happens sometime around the end of the second trimester, and while it is a bit before viability, it happens around week 20 at the earliest. Before that, it's no more sensate than a stone; this is why there's no comparison between someone who's been born, but has substandard cognition, and a fetus that hasn't developed any.
