lowering the limits
i have a question for you if they lower the dates allowed to 14weeks what happens to those out there who only discover the babe is going to be seriously handicaps at the 20weeks scan as in the uk do they have the babe just to watch it die
now do not get me wrong i do not think abortion should be used as birth control but please leave the dates as there are women and the doctors need the extra time |

Re: lowering the limits
if the cons get in that is one of the things they are talking about i know a baby has a 50:50 chance at 24 weeks maybe that should be the new limit and hope doctors offer early scan to all mums young and old
who can say how bad a handicap has to be to be call serious what may be acceptable to one family may distroy another the whole issue is a minefield no government should be allowed to make the dicidsion it must be left to the doctors and maybe talking to those people affected by a disablity it get a clear picture and not the antiabortionists |

Re: lowering the limits
When I was pregnant with my three year old I was sent for a dating scan at twelve weeks, this scan was being trialled in Cornwall with a view to make it nationwide, it confirms your due date and they are also looking for any abnormalities, a lot of which they claim can be detected at this early stage. I'm really not sure when the cut off date should be, it should all be considered case by case as every situation is different.
