Re: Abortion limit....Rejected!

[QUOTE=Margaret Pilkington;579843]You always get one or two like that, but to be honest they were in the minority.


And although Parliament has thrown out the bill to bring down the time limit for Termination of pregnancy, many consultants operate their own time limit which is well below 24 weeks.

True Margaret, and not so easy to get at 24 weeks .. have to go through a difficult process of two doctors approval, etc., not exactly given on demand.

Slinky . .. my daughter also worked on a ward like this.. probably yours Margaret, and she did not approve of the fact that there were cases of requested and natural abortions next to each other, particularly as some young girls appeared to be using it as a contraception. I do not quite believe this .. think they were just ill-educated ... or just bravado to hide a frightened spirit.

As Margaret has said, these women are in the minority and not fair to bring this into the discussion as lots of requested abortions are necessary and for the best for all concerned.
