To terminate or not...
I've never had to make the choice (thankfully), but I've always been a believer in a woman's right to choose. Not that a woman should choose willy nilly, but if they were pregnant as a result of a rape, their life was in danger etc, I think there's reason to justify the decision.
That said, in England the legal limit for abortion is still at 24 weeks. Read the stories in this article - makes you think.

Certainly, if babies can survive....that limit needs to be moved. A lot.

I'm a firm believer in choice as well, but am shocked that the limit in England is so long. In Iowa the limit has been 12 weeks for close to 15 years... with only rare medical exceptions allowed to 16 weeks. Funny that they are thinking to reduce it to only 20 weeks. Wonder why so long still?
