You are wrong, again. I have never referred to fetuses as sperm.

You may not have specifically refered to fetuses as sperm. We were talking about the things that abortion is done to. Since you say "90% of abortions are performed..."on the embryo" you may have been refering to an embryo as a "a blob of sperm".

90 % of abortions are performed in the first 3 weeks of pregmnancy--on the embryo.

From a source you have used yourself, so I assume you accept it as a legitimate source - The Alan Guttmacher Institute

agi-usa.org

Note the pie chart "When women have abortions (in weeks)" - "6 weeks or less is 18%". 3 weeks or less is probably less then half of that. At 3 weeks or less it is possible that a woman does not even realize she is pregnant yet. The single biggest group was 9 to 10 weeks (22%). 11 weeks and up was 23%.
