If you're going to reduce it down to 16 weeks that immediately removes the choice for some people. My ex didn't find out she was pregnant until 5 months because she didnt show any signs at all, and there are plenty of other people that don't find out within the first 12-16 weeks. That removes the choice for them, or at least doesn't give them a good enough time frame to have a serious think. But I do agree it cannot remain at 24 weeks.
