In the United States,abortion is a divisive issue in politics and culture wars,though a majority of Americans support access to abortion. Abortion laws vary widely from state to state.
The Unborn Victims of Violence Act of 2004 is a United States law that recognizes an embryo or fetus in utero as a legal victim,if they are injured or killed during the commission of any of over 60 listed federal crimes of violence. The law defines "child in utero" as "a member of the species Homo sapiens,at any stage of development,who is carried in the womb."

Abortion abolitionism is an absolutist anti-abortion philosophy,often in disagreement with mainstream anti-abortion positions and organizations that are largely incrementalistic. Abortion abolitionists are in opposition to incrementalism,often opposing or criticizing laws that fall short of the complete abolition and prohibition of abortion. Abortion abolitionists have adopted the term "abolitionist" to separate themselves from being classified as simply "pro-life" and to make a moral comparison between abortion and slavery.
A six-week abortion ban,also called a "fetal heartbeat bill" by proponents,is a law in the United States which makes abortion illegal as early as six weeks gestational age,which is when proponents claim that a "fetal heartbeat" can be detected. Medical and reproductive health experts,including the American Medical Association and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists,say that the reference to a fetal heartbeat is medically inaccurate and misleading,for a conceptus is not called a fetus until eight weeks after fertilization,as well as that at four weeks after fertilization,the embryo has no heart,only a group of cells which will become a heart. Medical professionals advise that a true fetal heartbeat cannot be detected until around 17 to 20 weeks of gestation when the chambers of the heart have become sufficiently developed.
