Please bear in mind that 6 weeks is nearly indistinguishable from a full ban. It's counting time since conception not time since the first missed period.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I think this is not quite correct. You're absolutely right that 6 weeks is basically the same thing as a full ban, but it's based on last period rather than from conception. Which is even worse. They assume that women conceived the day after their period.
A woman could become pregnant late in her menstrual cycle, but the 6 weeks counts from the previous period. So she could really be only a few weeks from conception but closer to 5-6 weeks based on the ban math.
You are correct! It is worse than I'd described!
I guess the only way to really get ahead of the timing in those places would be to lie and say the last period was a bit over a week ago but you had a condom break and have tested at-home daily since.
I’m sure that’s not foolproof but it would give a bit more time at least. Maybe. Idk if they can tell based on ultrasound or anything at that stage, but I assume not..?
ETA: Actually that wouldn’t help that much since ovulation isn’t until the 14th day after period on average.. you have a baked in two week bullshit time. Plus apparently another 10-20 days before it would even pop positive on a pregnancy test.
So basically banned yeah. There’s basically no way even with lying to meet that timeframe.
Oh fuck!
That's what got us in this mess in the first place
