Very wrong
hi ya. I do not disagree with having an abortion but at 24 weeks is discusting!!! you have to actually give birth to the baby as it is formed!!! and anybody that would want to do this must be crazy. There should definately be a change in the law!!!

Disgusting
I am totally against abortions altogether it makes me feel sick to think about people aborting there baby, no matter how far gone you are it is still your baby i dont agree with this it's just a bunch of ceels or a fetus and i do not agree with having an abortion so late on it makes me feel sick, i remeber at school we watched a video about abortion and i could not stop crying it made me feel sick, they suck the babys brain out i think bortions in general should be banned, obviously i know they are medical reasons behind some abortions etc, which i fully understand, but i think people who have abortions especially at such a late stage have serious problems the baby was alive and could possibly live!!!

Unbelivable
Hi all, this may sound very nieve, but I honestly, until now thought the limit was 20 weeks unless there is a medical reason.
Im shocked to say the least, I think 12 weeks is bad enough, without extream circumstances.
Seriously, when your pregnant and go for your 12 week scan theres a baby, arms legs, toes.
But this discussion also brings up the issue, If all of the replies are against the limit being so high, why arnt they against abortion all together?
The feotus at 8 weeks is the same feotus at 24 weeks, your killing the same egg and sperm, why is it different at different stages?

Not the same 
A feotus at 8 weeks is not the same as a feotus at 24 weeks!
At 24 weeks there is a good chance the baby can survive out of the womb, there is no chance of this happening at 8 weeks.
This makes a big difference when it comes to the subject of abortion.
On a personal note I'm undecided when the cut off should be for abortions. I think 24 weeks is too late though.
I think it should be before you can feel the baby kick but thats different for different people

That is def. murder
i mean pleaaaase,
women that want to abort that late should really consider giving the baby away for adoption rather that killing it right?
At least that way the child will get to live

Hi Linzilou
There is some good insight into why and how these issues of a lost pregnancy affect men, women and children, if you would like a link to the site let me know.

No, no and no!
hi Ya,
talking about late abortions I would always say no! If a girl is over 20 weeks pregnant and she doesn`t want the baby or whatever, they should not kill that child, they should give it life and than give it up for an adoption or there`s lots of options other than taking that childs life.
That`s all
Hope the above helps

Bit to late i think
O.K to start with I know that sometimes due to medical reasons abortion has to be an option, i think we all agree with that. But for social reasons i think that such a late cut off point is pretty wrong. We all know how late term abortions are done..either they are taken apart in the womb orr have there hearts stopped by an injection and then the mother has to give birth to her child. Both are pretty drastic to have to under go. I'm aware that abortions are never an easy choice for SOME people, but for others its just another form of contraception which is so so so very wrong.

21 weeks
I had an abortion at 21weeks and 4days and it was the most horrible experience of my life. I am from Scotland, I went to my family planning clinic who refered me to my local maternity hospital for a scan. My self and the doctor at the family planning clinic worked out I would be approx 14weeks, when I went for my scan 6 days after attending the family palnning clinic they told me I was 18 nearly 19 weeks, I was devasted and knew this wasnt right. As I was in Scotland they told me there was nothing they could do after 16 weeks and sent me on my way heartbroken with a phone number written on an envelope for bpas... The way I was treated at my loacl NHS hospital was discusting. I called back the next day and asked to be re-scanned but they refused as they said it was "average measurements" no help or anything I felt like they were annoyed with me. So I phoned BPAS they were really helpful on the phone, explained what would happen, they had to apply for funding for me, i had to wait a further 2 days to find out if that had been accepted which it had. I made an appointment to see someone in a glasgow clinic for a consultation, they arraned for another scan at a Glasgow hospital.. i waited 4 days for this scan, at this scan I was told I was 18 weeks and 1 day... I was so angry as the NHS wouldnt listen to me and just passed me on with no care. I had to travel to London for my termination... i waited nearly 2 weeks to go in... I had to pay for me and a friend to travel down and pay for accomidation. I know this was my fault for getting into the situation, but all this added stress of having to travel and lie to my family about where i was was horrible. I was under 16 weeks when i went to the first scan. The clinic where i had the procedure done was horrible, it was clean... but it was just like a baby killing factory. A conveyor belt of women. I was upset and no-one cared. I was left alone for ages. I had to get a d and e procedure. I had something placed in me to dilate my cervix... i was lying in a small shut off room alone, when I felt gushing coming from me... I waited untill i was getting my temperature taken and told the nurse, that was my water breaking... I cried and cried when I was alone, then a short while later at 12.15pm I was taken and given my anesthetic an that was it over. Woke up in recovery. Was put back in my bed where my tempertaure and blood pressure was taken and that was it. No-one spoke to me untill i was being discharged, and given my anti-biotics. At the whole time i was there i wasnt asked why i wanted an abortion, if i was sure this is what i wanted... Just got on with it. I am not anti abortion, but I wish the option hadnt been there for me to get it so late. The amount of women i saw there waiting for terminations was horrible. Why are there so many? Are people just using it as contraception? My view on abortion has totally changed. i do think it should be legal, in extreme circumstances. Not because of carelessness.

Roisin19,
Why do feel you have to go through the same thing? There is always more than one option to solve any situation. Are you very far along? Have a look at the non-judgmental support (online, phone or in person) at pregnancy.org.uk they will tell you about ALL your options - including different types of abortion. Wish you the best and let us know how it goes. Peace!

Why?
I found my way here trying to find out why someone would wait 5 months before deciding on an abortion. It's mind boggling to me. Why the hell did it take you 20 weeks to decide to get an abortion.?
It took 4 months to figure out you're pregnant? That's really amazing to me. If this is true then we need to educate people if you're having sex you need to get pregnancy check the first second something isn't right. You can't tell me you didn't know you had sex unprotected and no symptom appeared. And if you ... around for weeks and don't do anything about it, then you're having the baby and can't get an abortion. You just have to give it up for adoption or raise it. You are responsible for your sexual behavior period.

Late abortion
Hiya, I have experienced a late abortion, and yes it was the most horrible time of my life! But i have no regrets. At first I was too scared to go to the doctors until a friend said to me look come on you really need to do this, so I went and a week later got the results back positive. At that time I was 8 weeks gone. She refered me to the clinic were I was able to have it done free and privately. It was awful, and eventually I began to feel alone and did not know how to go about doing anything. I was 15 at the time and going through my GCSE's at the time. I was in a relationship and using protection. The clinic I had to go to was really far away, which kept putting me off going for a consultation. My best friend deserted me in my time of need and I basically had no one!
Anyway time passed and my best friend at the time came with me for a consultation, it turned out now that I was 16 weeks pregnant after putting it off for so long and ignoring the fact I was pregnant, Well I had to have a surgical abortion were I was under general anesthetic, I was in the clinic for 8 hours. When I found out how far gone I was at the consultation my counsellor really urged me to tell my mum, which i did and it was the hardest thing i have ever done, she broke down but was supportive of my decision and came with me for the abortion, she sat with me in the room for the whole day, and it was the worst experience of my life, but a massive learning curve. I have learnt so much and it make me grow up mentally. I do not regret it one bit as i felt an abortion was 100% the right thing to do. I am now in my third year of college. If you need any more help try the mariestopes,com this is the clinic that deals with abortions e.t.c. Hope I have been of help to you! Good luck with the rest of your research! xx

I had one.
At 22w 2d
I'm not proud of it. I was scared. I had to travel for 4 hours to get to the clinic. I had nobody to go with. It was a two-part procedure, and I've never gotten over it. However, the law is just fine, imo.

!
Clare3 something I read your post about aborting ur baby at 22 and then saying the law is good that's very sick you can tell the sex of the baby and basicly babys have been known to live after 21 weeks in rare cases having an abortion is your decision personally I think it should only be for extreame cases and I think next time this includes all late abortion girls why the hell Did u not notice your periods hadn't come and if u new and where to scared you shouldn't have been aloud speak out if it happens again and at least it won't be so far on. I am 19 and parents wernt happy at all when I found out I was preg and even though it's going to be hard it's going to be amazing. To all you who didn't want to go through it there's so much sopport out there but sometimes us women have to be stony for areselves. X sorry if I sound harsh

Hi sgj09
You sound as if you would like to learn more about why and when women have abortion and how families are affected by babies with health issues. Would you like to join in some training for these issues?
Let me know
