re: Lower abortion limit

Quoting Irish Mammy*J,R&A*:" I have no idea, ive never needed or wanted to know how the procedure goes"

Well you kinda posted about abortion.. so yeah. there are different types and she was listing the cut offs for them.

<blockquote><b>Quoting Smartass *TNTC*:</b>" The limit for abortions is 12 weeks in the States. 18 weeks for medical reasons (I believe). I personally ... [snip!] ... think 24 weeks is too long. It should be lowered. I am guessing at 24 weeks in the UK they do a partial birth abortion?"</blockquote>



It's actually 27 weeks for medical issues but its more difficult to find a dr to do it

i think it should be lowered. but my girls were born under 24 weeks, and i just cant imagine it.

here the limit is 12 weeks- i think thats perfect.

no I do not think it should be lowered

When my aunt had a medical abortion at 18 weeks so had to go to a different state.

The pill abortion, that is what they call a medical abortion. And surgrical is the vacuum.

Nevermind... I need to sleep instead of being on BG.

Yeh I posted about lowering the limits not about how its done

In Florida the limit is 24 wks. I don't care if other people get abortions because thats their body and baby and in some cases its medically necessary.
But I think 24 wks is pushing it why not just wait the extra 16 wks and place the baby for adoption or something unless its a case where the baby will not survive anyway. I think it should be lowered with the exception of medical necessity.

Those are pretty much directly related.
If a 12 week abortion meant they were sucking the brains out of my childs head, then I would have a different view point on what the limit of weeks should be.

There are different types of abortion.. We didnt tell you indetail about everything. Nor did we post pictures. There is no need to take offense. If you dont want to hear about the types of abortion then dont do a D and D about abortion lowering the weekage of it, because there are different types of abortions so there are different cutoffs.

I totally agree...

I havent taken offence at all. I was simply stating i have never wanted or needed to know so never looked into it to find out how its done so could not answer her question...

Just FYI these are the UK versions of abortion. It did say TYPICALLY they will only do them up until 18 weeks.

1. An abortion pill. This is for pregnancies up to about nine weeks old and involves taking two drugs – called mifepristone and prostaglandin – 48 hours apart. These have the effect of causing the womb to contract and shed its lining so that the embryo is lost through the vagina. This can be painful and some women feel sick or have vomiting and diarrhoea with these drugs.
2. A surgical termination can be performed up to 13 weeks. This may be performed under local or a general anaesthetic. A sterile tube is introduced into the womb through the cervix. Suction is applied through the tube and the pregnancy terminated. Most women leave hospital on the same day. From 14 to 19 weeks the technique is slightly different in that it is known as a surgical dilation and evacuation where the neck of the womb is stretched open to allow forceps to remove the foetus.
3. A medical termination can be performed up to 24 weeks – though such late abortions are now very rare. This involves giving the patient a course of two different types of medicine. The first medicine (mifepristone) is taken by mouth at the hospital or clinic, with the woman returning 48 hours later. She will then be given a medicine called a prostaglandin, either by mouth or as a vaginal pessary. The termination usually occurs within 12 hours of this when the woman passes the pregnancy vaginally. Pain, is often experienced but pain relief will always be available. (Surgical termination is also occasionally performed at the 20-24 week stage although this is more complicated and requires a two-stage process. The first stage involves stopping the heart of the foetus and softening the neck of the womb, and the second stage occurs the next day by surgical evacuation.)
