Just making sure, you do know you can visually confirm a heartbeat and detect brainwaves as early as 5 weeks, which is 3 weeks before it even becomes a fetus. (It's still an embryo until the end of the 8th week.) Women will not even show a positive pregnancy test until the end of the 4th week. So your position is effectively pro-life?
