That wouldn't allow for testing for life limiting conditions Ellan.

Call it judging if you so wish, SueDonim, I worked in a gynae clinic so know.

EllanVannin Sat 21-Mar-20 21:10:49

Agreed Framilode. 7/8 weeks not 20.

There was criticism on a thread about Johnson’ s affair leading to an abortion

Framilode Sat 21-Mar-20 21:03:51

In my view it should only be a last resort and not used as a form of contraception. I know of several women that have had two or more abortions. I also think the time limit for abortions should be brought down.

Anniebach Sat 21-Mar-20 20:57:29

I think it is too available

SueDonim Sat 21-Mar-20 20:56:59

No, you were judging, Ellenvannin with your remark about birth control.

We get the message EllanVannin. Life isn't so black and white for everyone though. Abortion is always a serious and sad business nevertheless it should be available.

EllanVannin Sat 21-Mar-20 20:51:59

People can please themselves, SueDonim, I'm not arguing. It was you who needlessly remarked after I gave my view.

Partners are spending much more time together as a result of shuttering business and isolation- Add prohibition to that- You get a mini-baby-boom-

Life is strange-

EllanVannin Sat 21-Mar-20 20:49:48

I'm against abortion.

SueDonim Sat 21-Mar-20 20:49:23

That’s your belief, Ellenvannin. Other have different beliefs and should be allowed to exercise them.

Reading the article there is a significant movement against abortion in Ohio. It's very worrying

Jane10 Sat 21-Mar-20 20:44:41

OMG those poor women. Just hope they don't resort to dangerous DIY practices or back street 'clinics'.

Caro1962 Sat 21-Mar-20 20:39:28

Im sure everyone is really scared about wots going to happen. I know we all have to try and stay strong but its so hard i really miss not seeing my grandchildren it breaks my heart

EllanVannin Sat 21-Mar-20 20:33:55

I only believe in abortions if it's a matter of life and death to the mother, or/and both. In such a medical emergency it would be carried out.
It's not known if this is a form of birth control ?

SueDonim Sat 21-Mar-20 20:24:30

Wow, talk about weaponising women’s health! angry

vampirequeen Sat 21-Mar-20 20:21:36

I'd say they're pretty essential to the women who want/need abortions.

Galaxy Sat 21-Mar-20 20:08:10

Dear god.
