If the abortion is being carried out after eight weeks then it will be under a general anaesthetic in which case permission may be required from your parents if you are under 16.
But wasn't there a case not so long ago in which a school arranged one of their pupils to have an abortion without her mothers knowledge let alone consent. I was sickened by this - what right do they have to take over and help make childrens/young adult decisions without the parents involved.
It only came out because the girl couldn't bear telling her mum and regretted doing the termination.

The ironic thing was she (the girl) became pregnant again!!!

Have I got this wrong? Maybe she was over 16?

i read that story, the school nurse sorted out to two pills for her to have, she told her mum after she had she first pill. and she regretted it but had to to have the second pill, i never said why but it said she needed to have it, and her mother was convinced she had the second baby to replace the one she terminated.
