In my home country one in three ladies have had an abortion in the age range teenager to age forty five. I am really shocked to hear that. I think the government of the UK is wrong to allow abortion up to 24 weeks pregnancy. They think that should be the cut off date because babies can survive if born that early in a 'wanted baby' pregnancy. I think that life begins at conception and babies feel pain during an abortion. I believe that aborted babies are the missing people of the world. I know that France allows abortions up to 12 weeks pregnancy. Malta doesn't allow abortions at all.
Are you shocked to hear the one in three ladies in the UK have had an abortion?
If you were the government would you allow abortion?
If yes what would the rules be?
I am pro-life and wouldn't ever have an abortion.

no not really...I mean the reasons for abortions are far too many to count..IF I had the mindset that ALL abortions are done simply because one was careless then yes it would shock me but I know better so no I'm not shocked at all..
If you were the government would you allow abortion?
absolutely...again, the reasons for abortion are many ranging from carelessness to life threatening so of course I would allow abortions..
If yes what would the rules be?
Well just off the top of my head they would only be allowed up to 16 weeks gestation UNLESS it was a life threatening situation/major medical reason for having one later on in the pregnancy...counceling BEFORE the abortion being done would be a must to make sure the woman is POSITIVE she wants it done etc....
I am pro-life and wouldn't ever have an abortion
I'm Pro Choice which, just to be clear is NOT "Pro Abortion" and I've unfortunately had to have one..but due to the circumstances i dont regret it..it was the best choice for myself, my husband and my two other children at that time in our lives..its was necessary..

no I dont regret it..I DO regret that the decision had to be made mind you...we were happy when we found out I was preg again and planned on having the baby but a very traumatic turn of events happened and we had to abort for the best interest of myself, hubby and two young (at the time) children....
24 weeks IS too far along IMO for abortions to be had..my youngest was born at 24 weeks gestation and though it was a rough ride for us all (him included) he did live for 8 months and would have lived longer had it not been for a doc's screw up..so yes I think that unless under EXTREME circumstances, abortion at 24 weeks along is too far along..

Earlier on in my discussion you gave a valuable piece of information so many thanks. I think 16 weeks pregnancy sounds more reasonable than 24 weeks which is the limit in the UK. In pregnancy a lady can have hormonal changes that upset her mind. She might be positive that she wants to have an abortion but afterwards she might feel bitter regret.
You don't seem to regret the abortion that you had. Best wishes.

hi maximax! I am prolife too and i would never opt for abortion because whatever they say.. it is still an innocent baby that they are killing.
Here in our country, though our country is mostly catholics, some ladies opt to have abortion due to unwanted pregnancies. Usually, the women felt that it is the best thing to do especially if the father of the child refuses to marry her or refuses to take responsibility for the kid; while some think that they are not ready to become mothers; some think that the baby would be a hurdle for the woman's career.
I know women gets trauma in abortion. In a way, they are guilty of the crime and it would be bugging them forever.

Hi there. Thanks for details some of the social reasons some ladies have an abortion. I think a man is very nasty if he tries to get his girlfriend to abort their baby. A career can be put on pause for a while. I especially like the last sentence that you say "bugging them forever".
