Arkansas on the wrong side of history... Who'da thunk it?

[Goofball]

It seems that Arkansas Republicans have decided to spend a bunch of taxpayer money by passing a law that will certainly result in a lengthy legal battle and eventually be overturned (knock on wood).

But can someone explain this to me? It's a little unclear in the article. At first it says that the new law bans abortion for any pregnancies that have gone beyond twelve weeks. But then it says:

Abortions would be banned if the fetus has a detected heartbeat "and is under 12 weeks or greater gestation."

As far as I know, a fetus can have a detectable heartbeat as early as three weeks into a pregnancy, often before a woman even knows she is pregnant. So this law essentially bans all abortions in the great state of Arkansas. Or am I misreading this? Or was that just a typo in the article and it should read "and is over twelve weeks or greater gestation"?
