After that if you get pregnant from a long time boyfriend or husband, and the relationship is relatively healthy, it should be illegal. If you have medical complications, you were raped, or if you were impregnated by some random dude at a bar, and don’t have a father figure present, it is legal. Eight weeks should be enough to decide if you want to keep the baby, based on the average twelve weeks it takes to tell if your pregnant without a test.

The timeline you suggest may not accommodate for situations where a woman doesn't realize she's pregnant until later on, which can be common. For instance, many women with irregular menstrual cycles might not notice they've missed a period until much later. Additionally, the health of a relationship can be difficult to assess and may change rapidly, creating potential loopholes. Also, wouldn't basing the law on the presence of a father figure pose a risk of reinforcing societal biases?
