I think this is not quite correct. You’re absolutely right that 6 weeks is basically the same thing as a full ban, but it’s based on last period rather than from conception. Which is even worse. They assume that women conceived the day after their period.
A woman could become pregnant late in her menstrual cycle, but the 6 weeks counts from the previous period. So she could really be only a few weeks from conception but closer to 5-6 weeks based on the ban math.
I guess the only way to really get ahead of the timing in those places would be to lie and say the last period was a bit over a week ago but you had a condom break and have tested at-home daily since.
I’m sure that’s not foolproof but it would give a bit more time at least. Maybe. Idk if they can tell based on ultrasound or anything at that stage, but I assume not…?
ETA: Actually that wouldn’t help that much since ovulation isn’t until the 14th day after period on average… you have a baked in two week bullshit time. Plus apparently another 10-20 days before it would even pop positive on a pregnancy test.
So basically banned yeah. There’s basically no way even with lying to meet that timeframe.

You are correct! It is worse than I’d described!
