It is interesting that 33% have stated they would lower the limit to 12 weeks. I wonder how many who said this have had any direct experience of abortion.

Most pregnancies that are aborted before 12 weeks are due to unplanned and unwanted pregnancies. Going further down the line up to 24 weeks, it is often the result of discovering a severe abnormality in the foetus.

So basically, those 33% who voted that option are saying it is ok to abort an unplanned pregnancy because the baby is unwanted, but it's not ok for a couple, who have probably planned and much wanted the baby, to make a heartbreaking decision to have an abortion.

My opinion is that the abortion limit should stay at 24 weeks and a woman should be able make her own choice.

Back to my original post........

Clearly 33% think abortion is ok up to 12 weeks (more likely to be unwanted and unplanned pregnancies) yet those 33% are saying that later abortions (generally due to more medical complications/reasons) they do not agree with.

I wonder how many actually thought about why they chose this option.
