Abortion limit cut

by Teri_R @ 20. May. 2008. - 20:19:30

As reported here MPs are voting on a change in the limit abortions are allowed, currently 24 weeks. I am in no way anti-abortion but agree with the change being brought in.
Below is evidence that babies at 24 weeks (and younger) can survive. I understand that late abortions are usually as a result of medical needs, but testing etc needs to be done earlier. Where do we draw the line

Joshua & Daniel Green..born to my cousin Deb.

I know! I am pro choice but babies born at this gestation can and do survive.

After months of sitting by Dan's incubator willing him to live, I just don't feel comfortable with late abortion

When you see those photos, it's a miracle they survive. :)

It's horrifying, the abortion limit should be brought down a lot, and maybe exceptions could be allowed for babies with problems x
