Arizona Governor Jan Brewer signed into law a bill making abortions illegal after 20 weeks of gestation. The bill did an end-run around the opposition (and temporal reality) by making the beginning of pregnancy the day of the woman's last p...eriod. This makes pregancy occur BEFORE conception, which puts us squarely in Alice In Wonderland territory. Abortion in Arizona, for those of us using a rational system of math, thereby becomes illegal after 18 weeks of normal, post-conception gestation. I'm surprised that Brewer was so restrained in her approach. Why not define pregnancy to begin 20 weeks before conception, thereby making ALL abortions illegal? Watch one of our esteemed legistlators pick up on that bright idea!
