It would be an interesting experiment, I think, to show some research subjects these pictures and others that represent different stages of fetal development, but without the weeks listed, and have them guess how many weeks old the fetus is.
Then see whether their accuracy correlates with other things -- level of education, opinion about the legality of abortion, etc.
