(I didn't follow all of this discussion, but I think that it is
about abortion)

TWO weeks?

Tell me Mike, have you ever been pregnant?

*Some* women know very soon when something has changed in their body.
Many women do not know, until the next MONTH (at least), that they are
pregnant.

Also I find it unlikely that doctor would (or could) perform a D&C
abortion (the simplest kind) on a woman, who is two weeks pregnant.
The signs must be clear.
