Pregnancy isn't easy, expecting someone to carry a baby for nine months and go through everything with the express purpose of giving the baby away is a lot.

Replying to this second point. I have already said I’m pro choice to a certain point. However yes I am against late terminations where the baby is killed when it is able to survive outside the womb and also when the baby has formed a well developed sensory system and is feeling pain at 18-20 weeks. So once it has reached 20 weeks you are already 5 months pregnant and I think terminating the child should only be for extreme circumstances (mothers life at risk etc), I do not believe financial burden to be a reason to be able to terminate between 18-24 weeks old, it’s incredibly selfish in my opinion when that baby is very developed and able to feel it’s pain of being killed
