People praise the female reproductive system as miraculous because it can make a baby in only 9 months. Like that’s neat and all, but my reproductive system can make a baby in approximately 13 seconds, so I don’t see what all the fuss is about.
On a serious note, female reproductive system is extremely fucked and overcomplicated and a great example of how evolution makes something that works, not something that is perfect.
That’s correct according to the “at conception” crowd! Why have silly words like “embryo” and “fetus” when you can just call it a “baby” or “person” and give it the same complete lack of medical and financial assistance as the born children and people in your red states?
“Full term” pregnancy is ~40w from last menstrual period, or ~38w from conception. There are ~4.345 weeks/month, putting full term at ~8.75 to ~9.2 months. Note the 9.2 months includes ~2 weeks before fertilization.
