The New Yorker is mad that pregnancy tests are "binary" regarding when pregnancy begins

Pregnancy tests draw a misleading, somewhat arbitrary, binary between a state of being pregnant and not being pregnant. You can be kind of pregnant, a little bit pregnant, or almost pregnant, or maybe pregnant, and still test positive for pregnancy. Pregnancy tests, particularly at-home urine tests, capture a moment in time at which an embryo has implanted and is interfacing with the uterus in some way. “We define how we understand the beginning of pregnancy based on this snapshot, but such a freeze-frame contains limited information,” Apoorva Tadepalli writes.

How the frick are you a little pregnant? You either are or aren't. They already have timelines for pregnancy, and they are called 1st trimester, 2nd trimester and 3rd trimester.

Let's keep moving scientific definitions so that we can continuously push murderous ideas.
They've already got most people believing that a fetus is not a person, I don't know why this one is really necessary. But evil loves to out evil itself.

I love the New Yorker. I just read the article. It's just fluff. Talks about chemical and ectopic pregnancies triggering a positive test.

Pregnancy is just a word in liberal land. You can end a pregnancy at any time you want, just say post partum psychosis and get a free pass.

It’s certainly a new way for wives to tell their husbands the news:
“IM (a little) PREGNANT!”
What a dumb article
