Why is your "date" 14 weeks better than what SCOTUS decided 50 years ago?
And would your 14 weeks ban remove all the roadblocks and hoops that states put up to make it harder for women to access a safe and legal abortion? In the EU abortions are part of their health system and covered by the government. If the USA do that? No, they wouldn't.
Would a 14 week ban of have exceptions for the health of the woman, or would she have to be dying hard enough for the likes of Texas and Alabama to care?

I feel sorry for all the unwilling Fathers who fall victim to dumb and selfish girls wishing to possess a man for their own benefit.

I get mistakes happen in the heat of the moment. However, there is no reason there should be millions of abortions yearly other than irresponsibility. In fact, some studies have shown the FIFTY PERCENT of women who had an abortion have had more than one. Let that fact sink in.

There have always been "Baby Daddies". New terminologies don't erase history.
Woman gets pregnant not married -- her fault -- man deserts her.
Woman delivers wrong sex -- her fault -- man deserts her.

I was talking about a "phrase" regardless of the status. I agree partly with your statements though but let's not stay one sided.
It was well represented in the movies "Forest Gump" or "The World according to Garp" where a woman has sex to get pregnant and the father never even knows or finds out many years later. DNA theft.
And the delivery of a "wrong sex" could be equated to the dissappointment of a man realising he will have to pay a huge dowry for a girl somewhere down the line when she marries instead of have a son who can make money and perhaps help grow the family business.
Also, removing the chance for a man to be part of a family of his own and be a father in his own right must be rejecting and devestating to many beyond what a woman can imagine.
Secondly, whatever they picked is a pull-out of the butt number too.
!4 weeks wasn't the point
Any abortion ban, at any number of weeks, rather than a viability benchmark is the point
The baby's heart starts beating at about 5-6 weeks
How did a company find out a person didn't get a vaccine? As I said once something is mandated then processes are put into place to manage it.
My point is that "my body, my choice" is not a viable response anymore. If the population drops we could see mandatory birthing requirements.

There is no "heart" that suddenly wakes up and starts beating at 5-6 weeks.
But according to experts, the term “fetal heartbeat” is misleading and medically inaccurate. “While the heart does begin to develop at around six weeks, at this point the heart as we know it does not yet exist,” said Dr. Ian Fraser Golding, a pediatric and fetal cardiologist at Rady Children’s Hospital San Diego.

It's not a "heart", it's a pulse.
