        You're quite right, I had mis-remembered. There is a huge difference in development week on week which affects viability.

          Abortion isn't simple. It's a nasty process on the body, whatever stage it happens at. For a vulnerable woman, it can also be a mentally harrowing experience.

          Men seem to think that pregancy, birth, abortions, miscarriages are all just a walk in the park so they're perfectly placed to shame, blame, legislate and generally decide what a woman should do with her body.
          That's a sweeping generalisation. I was present during my wife's caesarean, walked in just as they sliced. See that and it puts things into perspective.

                If you are going to have an abortion do not try it at home.

                  Obviously a contentious subject but my 2p.

                  Where does the morning after pill fit into this (I notice that stat was missing from CDC post)?

                  I agree that some males think that 'spreading your seed' is their human right, this needs to stop.

                  For the record when my cohabiting 'partner' (at 17) fell pregnant due to a failed contraceptive pill course, I said that I would support her and her decision. She decided on abortion and the process (via NHS) confirmed that at that time 'ethics' were prehistoric. 2 GP's had to decide you were mentally incapable of keeping the child.

                  For my part nearly 40 years on I can see that my reactions to this alter as I get older. I have not had children of my own, but I'm step dad to two and granddad to two, so sometimes I'm a little sad, particularly as grandchild 2 is 5 months old. Overriding that is the reason that she gave for her final decision, in that she was not ready for children/family and that she wanted a career (I was paying all the bills whilst she went to College). Last time I had any news of her she was a top flight graphic designer. Not sure about her status as a mum.

                  I do think that planetary over population should also be facet of this discussion. Not easy in more deprived parts of the world sure, but in 1st world countries the onus should be on responsible family size.

                    Yes.
