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.
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?
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.
“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.
