Re: Late term abortion -
June 4th 2009, 12:01 PM
Over here abortion is legal up until 24 weeks, and after that two doctors must agree to abort a child if her life is in danger or that the child is likely to be born with severe mental/physical disabilities [in the second case the mother must be deemed unfit to make the decision herself].
I do think that if a womans health/life are endangered by her pregnancy doctors should be allowed to abort the child after 24 weeks. Also I would think that in a case involving rape, late term abortion may also be acceptable, if the mother is having psychological problems and does not want to have the child - if giving birth would cause her psychological harm.
