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.
