With the “morning after pill”, are abortions still nesscary?
We do have many forms and ways of perventing the need for abortions, most are easy to find and free.
But we all know there are times when abortion is the only way.
24 weeks is about 6 months, out of the 9 months, it is too long and should be stoped.
If an abortion is carried out at 24 weeks, is due to meditcal reasons, not social.
If you don’t feel the time is right to have a baby, (and it never is) there should be a limit of 12 weeks for most abortions.
But has we all know, most abortions in the UK are carried out for women who don’t live here or members of some social groups beleave that girls are waste of time.
I think its about time we ask a few more questions about why so many abortions are being done in the UK and what kind of people are asking for them.
You are the best example to be for abortions regardless of how advanced the pregnancy is.
You are also the perfect example for compulsary sterilisation at birth.Sorry but i had to laugh at that :lol:
no later than 20 weeks.
16 weeks i think, i think if i had never been pregnant i would say 20 weeks but by 20 weeks u are well into feeling it moving around etc, and think psychologically that would be harder as well.
I strongly disagree with abortion as a form of birth control which seems to be used more often nowadays.
And for the exceptions as stated in original post a later upper limit for those reasons only,
no social reasons should be acceptable,as already said adoption is available.
Also in the case of rape victims again a higher limit should be acceptable because of the possible psychological damage done they may not realise they are pregnant or be able to comprehend it at such an early stage but even that should be maximized to about 20 -24 weeks max.Abortion IS a method of contraception- I don’t like that fact but it doesn’t alter it as a fact
There are so many other options (including as stated the morning after pill) and it is again indicative of the morass our society has sunk into that the majority of abortions today are comestic rather than medical
For me (and my views have changed considerably as I’ve grown older and haven children myself) abortion should only be on medical grounds at the risk of the mother’s health
It’s not about freedom of choice or oppressing women- its about responsibility of actions.
In my mind, an abortion on a child over 22 weeks (at which age SOME prem babies survive) is no different than killing a baby as it is delivered full term and an abortion for comestic reasons says more about the individual than I care to think about
As of right now, I’m the only one who believes that an abortion should never, under and circumstances, be performed. It’s my opinion and I know that I’m sure to catch some wrath for this. I’ve had two beautiful boys and the moment I found out I was pregnant, that was it for me. I’d give my life for either of my two boys and I’d feel the same if I were pregnant and yet to meet my baby. I believe that life starts at conception and that it’s a precious gift.
To be honest i dont know which one to click i dont strictly speaking believe in abortion at all but then i’m never gonna be the one who’s pregnant I certainly dont believe in it as a birth control under any circumstances
well, moves to lower the time limit on abortion from 24 weeks have been rejected by MPs and i think this is utterly disgusting. People need to grow up and take more responsibility for their actions. The morning after pill is widely available over the counter, and in the case of an accident, people need to start taking full advantage of this facility. I have known people who have been a few months into pregnancy before they actually know that they are pregnant, in some cases women still continue to have periods, so i am fully aware that some of these pregnancies are unexpected, and no contraception is 100% effective. Most people are not asking for abortion to abolished altogether, but what we are asking is that the limit should be lowered substantially. Children have been born at 6 months, and still survived, I cant understand how anyone can reach 6 months into their pregnancy, and decide to terminate its life. It makes me sick to think about it. What right does anyone have to take away a life when the child is formed and has a chance at survival? There are childless people who are crying out for a chance to raise a child, surely adoption is the answer.
This story in particular i felt was particularly upsetting, and im certain its not a one off.
“During the Commons debate, the proposer of a 20-week limit, former nurse Ms Dorries, told MPs how she had witnessed a “botched” termination while working on a ward.
“A little boy was aborted into a cardboard bed pan which was thrust into my arms,” she said.
“As I stood and looked in that cardboard bed pan this little boy was gasping, through mucous and amniotic fluid for his breath and I stood with him in a sluice, in my arms in a bed pan, for seven minutes while he gasped for his breath and a botched abortion, which became a live birth, became a death seven minutes later.
“And I knew at that moment, while I stood with that little boy in my arms that one day I would have the opportunity to stand and defend babies like him, because what I thought we were committing that day was murder.”
Its just not right.

Spot on Pebbles
The MP Edward Leigh summed it up for me…the most dangerous place in the UK for a child to be is….in its mothers womb- 196,000 each year are killed….
the materialistic throwaway society we live in, which discards life as if it were a used paper cup is, to me, sicknening beyond belief
*footnote* the morning after pill does NOT always work !
Obviously, Sianny was born.
