That "thump, thump" you heard last night was DonOLD Trump rolling the bus over the entire pro-life movement by declaring to Dasha Burns on NBC News that Florida’s current six-week limit on abortion, which was signed by Gov. Ron DeSantis, is “too short.” There “has to be more time.”

This is correct, for once. :) There wasn't anything nefarious as to how this came about, but the pregnancy is backdated to the day last period begins. This cannot possibly be the day of conception, but it was agreed upon over time and gave a comparative measure to length of pregnancies. (Couple this with groups of women having their periods at the same time.) So conception likely happened about 2 to 3 weeks into the pregnancy, depending on the variances between women. Using this method, six weeks into pregnancy is actually 3 to 4 weeks after conception. This is the time where many women have an inkling they are pregnant. So while six weeks sounds short, it is actually shorter than we think.
