At around 13 weeks, there begins complex response to pain.

After implantation, the zygote has to actively be dislodged.

These are good markers for the discussion. Prior to implantation, the zygote is just floating around in there and can wash out. After about 13 weeks the case that it isn’t a living human is very hard to make.

Don’t, as the poster suggested, pronounce abortion legal until 13 weeks, but rather pronounce it firmly illegal after that point. Leave it to the states to figure it out with more refinement.

As it is said, don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good, and in so doing take nothing in an all-or-nothing situation.
