I don't know much about it but the UK law.is up to 24 weeks which is pretty much 6 months (if you work on 4 week months). I have read they are campaigning for unrestricted access up to 12 weeks in some reports and 22 weeks in others.

Its usually only allowed for medical reasons at that point but that is the legal time limit. Most UK abortions happen before 12 weeks for non medical reasons.

Yes the 12 weeks was my understanding..

Yes i can see it being acceptable if the mothers health/life was in danger...it must be heartrenching.


So 6 months is ONLY allowed atm for medical reasons but they are voting to allow people to just give up for nothing?

6 months is allowed for any reason not just medical reasons, just the majority of 24 week abortions occur due to medical reasons

It's a good way of curbing the Irish menace spreading to the mainland.

Yes but generally when people think of the UK they get it confused with GB so would therefore imagine that they would all follow a similar law and not have one part of GB so backwards

Not that that’s even relevant but you drag I guess...

Looks like that after this, NI will be the only place in the British Isles where you can't get an abortion. What a disgrace!! So shocking in 2018

I hope the referendum passes. It's shocking in 2018 that you still can't get an abortion in Ireland.
