1) it is about when the heart and brain development starts to happen.

I think 9 weeks is when most of the development starts to happen. Six weeks is a rather arbitrary number in the development process.

Why not 14 weeks then, that's got the lowest after all.

3) It still gives women ample time to get a pregnancy test. Pregnancy gestation time is medically defined as the time since the last period. Pregnancy tests start working at about 3 weeks, and even the cheapest pregnancy tests are unambiguous at 5 weeks.

Not really though, most women realise they may be pregnant when they miss their period, so that could easily be around 4-5 weeks leaving almost no time to book the abortion.

Reality is that if you are having unprotected sex, you need to be prepared for inconveniences.

What about those who have inconveniences and are having protected sex?

No. It isn't.
The brain begins with the neural tube, formed in the first month of the embryo’s growth. The neural tube closes around week 6 or 7, at which point the brain separates into three parts: front brain, midbrain, and hindbrain. These three parts will eventually develop into the specialized parts of the brain, and the cerebrum will fold into the left and right halves of the brain.

And in terms of heartbeat, it is 5-6 weeks:

A baby's heartbeat (at this point a fluttering of cells) starts as early as to 4 weeks after conception or 6 weeks after the first day of the last menstrual period.
When you find out you're pregnant, seeing your baby's heartbeat may be one of the first milestones you anticipate. You don't have to wait long. A baby's developing heart is up and running quickly because it's needed to deliver oxygenated blood and nutrients to other developing organs.

Why not 9 months?

6 weeks to me is when the rate of change starts to slow.

Hence the reason why we invented pregnancy tests. An abortion at 6 weeks is just a pill that is taken, which causes a miscarriage. Literally no need for booking.

Birth control, especially hormonal birth control like IUDs and contraceptive injections don't really fail. They are devastatingly effective. Especially the contraceptive injection, which is almost too effective. (Took my wife a year to come back to fertility after being on it for 3 years).
If someone couldn't be bothered to go for an injection every three months, they shouldn't be allowed to vote either.
 
I wonder if DeSantis is regretting his vendetta against Disney at this point or if he's so deluded and petulant that he's gonna keep fighting them. It's getting embarrassing though.

Ron DeSantis loses again to Disney

The Florida governor’s fight with Disney has become a political liability. But he can’t afford to retreat.
www.vox.com www.vox.com

The new board DeSantis appointed to oversee the company’s Orlando theme parks has discovered a new wrinkle in its plans. The board’s chairman said Wednesday that another “11th hour agreement” was signed before the board took over that allows Disney to set its own utility rates for its resorts through 2032. By that time, DeSantis, who is term-limited and cannot run for reelection in 2026, will be long gone.

So then if its the heart beat thing thats important then it should be 4 weeks not six weeks?

I get that this is tongue in cheek but complications start to go up later in the pregnancy.

The pill isnt over the counter though is it? So you still have to book an appointment, where they will then do the ultrasound and confirm because these tests have been known to give false positives as well. People without transport will especially find this very tight and not to mention it doesn't give the couple any time at all to discuss their options after the ultrasound.

Birth control has been known to fail, yes its usually down to user error but it happens nonetheless.

Yet you want to force that same person to raise a child, sense it does not make.

Not looking good if a prospective candidate for the leader of the free world cannot even win against Mickey Mouse.

Tbh Disney is so powerful and has such good lawyers that I wouldn't want to take them on even if I was the president. Only DeSantis has such mind-boggling hubris that he thinks he can take over their boards and force them to stop making woke movies or something. Never mind that their actual HQ is in CA.

Pick your fights. Disney shouldn't have been one. I don't buy that the state of Florida doesn't have the legal power to take on Disney - they just don't have a solid case to begin.

U.S. Citizens and Russian Intelligence Officers Charged with Conspiring to Use U.S. Citizens as Illegal Agents of the Russian Government

A federal grand jury in Tampa, Florida, returned a superseding indictment charging four U.S. citizens and three Russian nationals with working on behalf of the Russian government and in conjunction with the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) to conduct a multi-year foreign malign influence...

  • Omali Yeshitela, a U.S. citizen residing in St. Petersburg, Florida, and St. Louis, Missouri, who served as the chairman and founder of the APSP;
