Yeah, that’s fair, but what I mean is that at some point the slur just takes over. When you hear the B word you no longer think about a female dog. Westerners usually don’t think Buddhism when we see swastikas either.

I’ve only ever heard that used about people, as a slur.

If it’s a matter of days you could probably just lie about the timing of your last period. Those weeks are calculated from the date of your last period, not from the date of conception, so as long as you’re the only one who knows your cycle you could probably lie a little bit.

Which also makes a 5 week deadline more insane than most people realize. Given a steady 4 week cycle, you have 1 week to realize your period is late, schedule and perform an abortion. A lot of people do not have a steady cycle, and those may very well not notice until it’s too late, even if they track their cycle.
