Is 6 weeks unreasonable?
Yeah, most people don't find out theyre pregnant until about somewhere around 5-6 weeks https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5269518/. This means that a six week ban is effectively a ban on abortions, as even those that find out in week 5 won't necessarily be able to schedule the abortion in time.
How long is it supposed to be before there's a brain with any capacity for thought, abstract or otherwise?
General viability for survival outside the womb is 24 weeks, or 6 months in. That's the clearest line we have right now.
Edit: and as another commenter said, the first steps of basic brain development occur around the 10 week mark.
Why is what you're saying not lining up with what Google and another commenter here have told me?
