I guess this is only for Pro Life people who are Christians.

    your works are wonderful,

15 My frame was not hidden from you
    when I was made in the secret place,
    when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.
16 Your eyes saw my unformed body;
    all the days ordained for me were written in your book
    before one of them came to be.

Christians and Jews are the only ones I ever hear quoting the Old Testament to support their religious opinions and support their beliefs.

Any idea why Christians are named so? 

The judgement you're talking about in the OP is more closely associated with Sharia Law, so that's probably why you should ask a Muslim your question. That is of course unless you didn't really want an answer.

When they say a pregnancy cannot be terminated after it reaches 6 weeks, what does that mean?

Because my wife recently had a miscarriage. Our doctor said it was a miscarriage at 7 weeks. We were surprised that he said that because we had only known about it for a little over 2 weeks.

According to the doctor, they track the number of weeks based on your last period. For example, let's say a woman's last period started on April 20th and ended on April 26th. And it is now ~May 19th and her period did not occur on schedule.

Not all women are on an exact 28 day schedule, and stress or other factors can make a period a week late or maybe even later.

It's now May 28th. Her period has now been delayed by a week and a half and she is getting nervous. She takes a pregnancy test and finds out she's pregnant.

By a doctor's definition, to my understanding based on what this doctor told us, she is 5 and a half weeks pregnant. Is it a pro-life person's stance that she now has 3 days to get an abortion, otherwise she is now obligated, by proposed law, to carry that pregnancy to term?

Or does the 6 week bill follow a different timeline than doctors typically do?

How many years in jail would you give a woman who was 4 weeks pregnant, but there was a “heartbeat”?  

What about if she was 6.5 weeks pregnant but the “heartbeat” wasn’t detectable.

*heartbeat in quotes because dummies who have stunted scientific progress.  Spoiler.  It ain’t.

But I do agree with you: I hate it when folks ignore science in an attempt to solidify their stance on abortion.
