I don't really agree with abortion at all but understand that they are my feelings and I wouldn't condemn a person for doing it but I really feel strongly that at 24 weeks because the baby could survive outside the womb, that it is very wrong to do it at that stage.

Not strictly true some pills including the morning-after-pill work by preventing a fertilised egg from attaching to the lining of the uterus. So therefore in some cases the new life will have already started as the egg has been fertilised.

I am a Catholic, however it doesnt bother me at what stage the foetus or child(called it what you will) is aborted. I have had a vasectomy (did I say i was catholic? I should amend that to i am a bad catholic) so it wont affect me. however if any of my children were to be in the position of thinking about an abortion, I would advise them if they are have it as early in the pregnancy as possible.
