Descripción:
Madeleine Turney will discuss: Since September 1, 2021, abortion became illegal in Texas in cases where embryonic cardiac activity can be detected. This ban gives women a six-week threshold where they can determine pregnancy, confirm this with a medical professional, and withgo an abortion. However, due to pregnancy math and menstrual math, this is not always the most concrete threshold for discovering pregnancy. Menstrual math or predicting when a “missed period” occurs is based on an assumed 28-day cycle. What happens when the law and science are in contradiction and what is the solution?
