In case it is not obvious, I meant the first 3 MONTHS--not weeks.

It wasn't obvious. At 3 months you don't have an embryo. At 2 months you don't either.

2.
a.The fertilized egg of a vertebrate animal following cleavage.
b.In humans, the prefetal product of conception from implantation through the eighth week of development.

Eight weeks is less then two months, not up two three. Going by the AGI data only 36% of abortions are in the first 8 weeks. So only 36% of abortions are on embryos. This is a higher percentage then I expected but still a minority of abortions, not 90%.
