The account is harrowing, and she is utterly traumatised. This is why at the very least, people need to be properly informed of the realities of abortion, and the "bundle of cells" nonsense needs to be clarified.

I honestly didnt know that, and why the hell would anyone chose to do that. The bundle of cells thing is obviously not right in that case. Hell from 12 weeks onwards (and earlier too really..) its clearly a baby, I have 2 scan pics to prove that
The limit should definitely be lowered..babies are surviving younger and younger. I personally know someone who had a kid at 22 weeks and he is alive now, a healthy 5 year old.
