In 2022, Florida began measuring gestational age from the last menstrual period rather from the estimated date of fertilization, as it did in previous years. Fertilization typically occurs approximately two weeks after the last menstrual period. Compared to 2022, in 2023, abortions in Florida were more often performed between seven and 14 weeks of gestation.
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? FLORIDA IS TRYING TO CHANGE THE NUMBERS TO MAKE IT LOOK LIKE MORE ABORTIONS TAKE PLACE AFTER THE FETUS IS SIX WEEKS OLD. BUT NO ONE IS PREGNANT AT THEIR LAST MENSTRUAL PERIOD NOT UNTIL 2 WEEKS LATER.
