At what point do you think is too late for an abortion?

While I am Pro-Choice, I am solidly against late term/partial birth abortions except in very rare cases. I agree that 12 to 16 weeks is plenty of time to confirm a pregnancy and to make a decision regarding the outcome. As far as ultrasounds beforehand go, I don't believe that anyone should be forced to look at the screen if the decision to abort has been made. This is psychological abuse IMO.

I was offered an abortion at 36 weeks pregnancy and I said "no way". I had found out my baby would be severely disabled. They told me how it could be done and it made me feel sick. I loved my baby and felt so worried about the birth. I carried on with the home birth I had planned to have. My son is now 2 years old with a bright smile. He has spina bifida and hydrocephalus. He had the right to live on earth and grow up because I believe life begins at conception. I am pro-life I am glad to say. But some ladies are pro-choice and so it would be better if the up to 24 weeks time scale was moved to 9 weeks. A medical abortion before 9 weeks is a pill but then after than is a surgical abortion. That is painful for the baby so I don't agree with it. One person described an abortion on a 12 week fetus. The heart rate went really high and the little baby was desperately trying to get away from the abortionist's instruments that was digging at him or her. It was so sad when he or she described the head being crushed. So even if there was a 12 week cut off there would still be lots of pain and suffering for the innocent little baby. The lady can get depression too. Adoption would be right decision.

I too hold the 12 to 16 weeks. No need for late term abortion, but I do believe if the doctors and everyone else around is saying the baby can survive outside the womb at a certain time that the mother should not be forced to carry the child the remainding amount of time. Instead of abortion perhaps they should think about being knocked out and having a c section done and immediately putting that child up for adoption. Would this be an alternative available to women?

i'm totally against them, if specaily if they didnt take the responably to use protection. i would only agree if the baby would have medical issues if it was born and couldnt live a normal life. too many people who cant have kids, are looking to adpote

Well i have a friend who ate some medicine for cold . She didn't know she was carring a baby for a month when she took the medicine. She was worried a lot but at the first checking the baby appeared to be fine. It was 22 weeks that she took a check which can check the baby's heart and the doctor told her that there was something wrong with her baby's heart. No other ways out she just chose to make an abortion because she couldn't afford a unhealthy baby. Well it's hard to say when is too late for an abortion . When the baby is unhealthy you have to do that . i personally think 6 months is too late.

Firstly,I would never have an abortion but to keep an open mind of this discusion il have my say.For me, its from the moment the sperm has fertilized the egg ,its "living".It may not have a heartbeat,and eyes, and whatever they say a child has to be to become a child ,but to me its living. A perfect example about abortions is look at vegeterians, they don'e even eat eggs. Why ? because to them its still meat because an egg if hactched will be an hen.(chicken). Now, when it comes to humans we say,or by law your're allowed to have an abortion while its under 3 months,or is it 9-12weeks,im not sure! but after a certain time, thats about 3-4 months they say its too late for you to have an abortion,so you either keep it,have a back alley abortion OR adopt. But My question is , What makes the diff on how many months it is to have an abortion because at the END that EGG,Or zygote WILL eventually become a child, it Will be human. Just like a chickens Egg.because we all know that once an egg and a spern fertilize, that is a HUMAN ! So don't give them bio linger they use,like its a blob of cells ,its NOT a blob Of cells that is a HUMAN being. And what do we do? We KILL IT! Thats what abortion is , KILLING the innocence before they even get a chance to see the world ,like WE do.KILLING silently.

I would have to say around the period when the baby could theoretically survive outside the womb. Should abortion be an option, but I do not see the point of late term abortions. At some point a doctor should be able to give you all the facts about your baby and then you should make a decision about aborting or carrying to birth.

The minute the fetal DNA identifies it as an individual human being.

I don't agree with the idea of abortion. I think we should give the right to each kid to born in this world if it starts growing in a woman's womb. I am against abortion. But, there are some cases were it is critical to let the kid grow. For example if the mother doesn't have a good mental growth. I think one month is too late for abortion.
