Abortion Question...?

Question

I don't believe in abortion at ALL, I think it is cruel. But just out of curiosity, what is the time frame in which you can have an abortion. A friend of mine who has had one before is pregnant again and having second thoughts, she regretted the last one so I am just hoping it's too late this time. She is 12 weeks!

Answer 1

I don't think they do them past 3 months.  I think they are very cruel as well!!

Answer 2

she can still do it.

Answer 3

it is up to 3 months. dont have an abortion though. ADOPOTION not ABORTION

Answer 4

I'd say 12 weeks, personally. It gets very invasive after that. And you can't have a medical abortion after 8 weeks.

Answer 5

It depends on the state.  Some are up to 24 wks--I think.

But, let me say, last weekend--I was driving.  A man was holding a sign that read...WARNING GRAPHIC ABORTION PICTURES AHEAD.  Sure enough---about 10 giant pics of aborted babies--at various stages.  My poor kids (5.5, 4 and 2.5) were mortified.  A lady gave me a pamplet--and said--"this will explain why we are doing this".  We drove the next 2-3 mins in silence.  Then the questions came.  I told my kids that those babies were hurt and that those people standing there wanted to help stop the hurt.  Here's the organization that did this--perhaps you can forward it to your friend.  http://prolifeaction.org/

Answer 6

I think it is 16 gestational weeks, unless there is a medical problem.

Answer 7

in the uk - 24 weeks, but many drs refuse to perform an abortion out of choice after 16 weeks. but if its for medical reasons for the mother or baby, termination may be offered.

a medical abortion can be performed up to 9weeks but some drs wont do it after 7 weeks as the effectiveness drops and a surgical procedure may have to carried out to complete the abortion.

after this, a d&c is done. the cervix is forceably stretched, a vaccuum instrument is inserted adn the products of conception are removed.

if the baby is bigger and more formed, labour may be induced and the baby be delivered vaginally.

Answer 8

Abortion is not cruel. What if an innocent 14 year old was raped, and she got pregnant? Her getting pregnant could ruin her future. She could drop out of school, because of the stress.

And she could possibly die at birth.

Plus if the baby was given up to be adopted to some one else, the baby could get made fun of in the future for being adopted.

Answer 9

abort and donate the stem cells please. kill one fetus, save thousands of others.

Answer 10

In the UK the legal limit is 24 weeks, which I think is way too late.  In my mind, at 24 weeks, it's a viable baby.

Answer 11

I think she can still get one although I agreee with you!

Answer 12

I think 4 months is the latest. That would be 16 weeks.
