Some legislators backing the heartbeat bills have said they see them as potential challenges to Roe v. Wade, the 1973 Supreme Court decision that prohibits states from banning abortion before a fetus can survive outside the womb. A heartbeat bill, whether it bans abortion at six or 12 weeks, falls well before that limit.

In whose hand is the life of every living thing,
And the breath of all mankind? Job 12:10

“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, And before you were born I consecrated you;

I have appointed you a prophet to the nations.”

Jeremiah 1:5

The recently signed Georgia law does include exceptions for rape and incest, as well as for medical emergencies. But the law will hurt patients in Georgia, which has some of the highest rates of maternal mortality in the country, said Redman, the Spark Reproductive Justice Now executive director.

“People are dying because of the maternal health here in Georgia,” she said. “The fact that we’re eliminating a health care option, a service, will do a disservice to Georgians,” especially black, queer, and low-income people who are disproportionately likely to seek abortion care. My note: Then how about improve maternal health care in Georgia.

According to the Guttmacher Institute, two thirds of abortions are done within the first eight weeks, and 89 percent in the first 12 weeks. Only 1.3 percent of abortions are performed after 21 weeks, and those are most often to protect the health of the mother or because the fetus won’t survive after birth at all.

Six weeks’ gestation is just shortly after most pregnant women miss their first period, meaning many women don’t know they are pregnant at this stage.

Dr. Catherine Romanos, is a doctor who performs abortions in Ohio and a fellow with the group Physicians for Reproductive Health. The 'Heartbeat Bill' law carves out an exception if a patient’s life is in danger, but not for a pregnancy resulting from rape or incest. In all other cases, abortion will be illegal in Ohio. “It’ll be really devastating to people,” Romanos said. “It’s patient abandonment.”

Heartbeat bills around the country are based on model legislation written by Faith2Action, which bills itself as “the nation’s largest network of pro-family groups.” “While not the beginning of life, the heartbeat is the universally recognized indicator of life,” the group states in an FAQ on its website. The legislation does not include an exception for rape or incest. “No other law allows for the killing of an innocent child for the crime of his or her father,” the Faith2Action FAQ states.

There certainly has been no shortage  of debate I'm hearing so many pro-abortionists unashamedly insist that women and women only have the absolute 'God-given' (in some cases) right to decide whether to have an abortion.
