Anne Robinson and the law on abortion

one of the women in the programme had had three abortions!! and went on to say "well its my body and I shall do with it what I please"

The vast majority of abortions are performed before 13 weeks. Those rare ones done after 20 weeks are usually wanted pregnancies whose parents have made the very difficult decision due to medical reasons. These diagnoses often aren't picked up on until the 20 week anomaly scan which is why they occur later. Women aren't sitting around waiting until 24 weeks to terminate because they think it will be fun.

That’s really horrible and shocking trisher?I had expected them to stay in hospital until it was over.

Also it is hard to accept abortion for me, because the baby can not speak for themselves and have no say if they should live or die

I appreciate that in some circumstances abortion may seem the only way out if one has been attacked but to have an abortion because it is not a good time for you to have a baby is a bit harsh on the baby

This is just IMHO and we are all entitled to our opinion

No lemongrove it's because the law says that abortion performed anywhere except in a hospital or clinic is a criminal act, so the pills have to be taken in hospital. In fact the women begin to miscarry as they are going home, one was on a bus another in a supermarket. Horrific!

What shocked me is that they are permitted to have the abortion up until 24 weeks when the baby is fully formed..

I wanted to cry I really did I know abortion is a personal thing and I am not here to judge anyone at all but if you are going to have an abortion at least do it at the beginning

I find it so hard to contemplate a Doctor performing this on a fully formed baby

Is it perhaps for their own safety, taking the pill in hospital, in case they haemorrhage ?

I felt really sorry for all those women and a bit sorry for the bloke. I wondered about the guilt as well. But this stupid law that says women must take the pill in hospital is ridiculous and must be changed.

Babies aborted after 24 weeks are in the main babies that will die soon after birth, often in pain. Usually very much wanted children whom the parents have decided should not go through that suffering

I watched it Trisher, horrified that women cannot take the abortion pill in their own home, this really needs a change in the law . The woman Mo was so angry, did she perhaps feel guilt for having three abortions . I did feel sorry for the chap who wanted his child but his partner chose an abortion. I do think the time now needs to be reduced from
24 weeks
