I'm pro-life.  If you think one may have slipped by you have just shy of 16 days before gastrulation occurs to deal with it.  The pregnacy can be stopped within the first 5 days with the "morning after pill"  (the earlier taken the higher effectivness rate 3 days around 90%, 5 days around 80%)  In my province anyone can walk into a hospital, clinic, sexual health centre, school nurse office, health authority office, etc and recieve the medication for free: or go to the pharmacy and pay for it.

I believe gastrulation is when the embryo becomes a human.  You can impregnate most mammals with a embryo from a mammal of another species, and it will implant itself and grow up until the point of gastrulation (I use the term most because as far as I know it has only been tried with cows, pigs, rats, monkeys, rabbits, horses, and whales).

 

"the court confirmed that a fetus is not a person until it is born and fully outside the woman's body."

It sickens me that in my country it is technically legal to kill the fetus even after labour has begun.  (I highly doubt anyone would do it but it still sickens me).
