said in 2017 about a similar policy. “Whether a fetus is viable is a medical determination and occurs much later in pregnancy.”that they're pregnant at six weeks. Although some may start to notice changes in their menstrual cycle or symptoms such as nausea and fatigue at three or four weeks, others may attribute those symptoms to other factors in their life, like travel or stress. And early pregnancy symptoms can be very different from person to person.
One particularly troubling aspect of the new law is that it's designed to be enforced not through criminal suits brought by the state, but through civil suits brought by private citizens against anyone who “knowingly engages in conduct that aids or abets the performance or inducement of an abortion.” That includes anyone actually performing the procedure as well as anyone paying or reimbursing the cost of the procedure.
The ban did face considerable legal opposition, and a large coalition of abortion care providers and advocacy groups filed anearlier this week to block it. However, the Supreme Court has yet to rule on it, and the Court's inaction allowed the new law to go into effect. While a dozen other states have previously tried to enact laws restricting abortion in early pregnancy like this one, all of them were blocked in court.
