A six-week abortion ban or early abortion ban,called a "heartbeat bill" or "fetal heartbeat bill" by proponents,is a form of abortion restriction legislation in the United States. These bans make 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 intentionally misleading because a conceptus is not called a fetus until after ten weeks of pregnancy,before which the proper term is an embryo,as well as that at six weeks the embryo has no heart,which at that stage is 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.
