“This article just seems like a tortured attempt to make pregnancy into a subject experience in order to justify abortion,”

Cusack said the article's framing attempts to make pregnancy subjective in order to justify abortion.

“The fact that an at-home pregnancy isn’t sophisticated enough to pick up the beginning stages of every pregnancy doesn’t mean you’re ‘kind of pregnant,’ or that pregnancy itself, which literally begins with conception and ends with birth, is ‘nonlinear.’”

Cusack argued that limitations of at-home pregnancy tests do not make pregnancy nonlinear.

“Women have always known that early pregnancies sometimes don’t take or show up on tests, but that doesn’t change the fact that you’re either pregnant or not, whether you know it or not or want it or not.”

Cusack said early pregnancies that don't take or show up on tests don't change whether a woman is pregnant.
