I would like to point out one thing: although the legislation is obviously aimed at a particular political goal, one that I disagree with...

Gestational age already was, and always has been, counted from the first day of ovulation. When the doctors say a full-term pregnancy is 40 weeks, they mean 40 weeks from the date of last ovulation. When you go in for your first appointment with your OB, you are a week late on your period, and they say you are "five weeks pregnant."

Like I said, I disagree with the larger intention of the law. I am pro-choice. But this clause is not horrifically dramatic or new, it is how doctors have always done it.
