       The law allows termination of a pregnancy up to longer than two
       months, Blue.  Most are no more than twelve weeks by cate, the
       baby is fully formed after that, but there are exceptional cases
       where it happens later.  I think 24 weeks is the cut off.

       I am aware of that, in exceptional cases up to about 20 weeks,
       no longer, imo.

       I agree with BR that it should be 20 weeks except for medical
       emergency or a few other rare circumstances, but it is in fact
       24 weeks in law.
       On the other hand, the requirement for two doctors' consent
       should be scrapped, and it should be a lot easier to get an
       abortion in the first trimester.

       I didn't know 'two doctors' ruling was still the rule.  I
       suppose, if an abortion requires a clinic or hospital admission,
       two doctors would be involved anyway, the GP who refers and the
       specialist.  However GPs and sexual health clinics can provide
       the medication for medical terminations without having to refer
       to someone else.
       For terminations of pregnancy after 24 weeks gestation there do
       have to be exceptional circumstances, for example, if the
       mother's life is at risk or the child would be born with a
       severe disability. I would add if the pregnancy resulted from
       rape and was not diagnosed until late which does happen. I've
       been told that is a very grim procedure.

       I assume this topic got locked by accident, so I've unlocked it.

       I thought a topic could only be locked by admin, obviously not.
       I suppose someone could press the wrong button .... somewhere
       :-).
       No further news here about abortion protests but I did notice a
       headline saying that abortions have been banned for pregnancies
       over six weeks gestation in Iowa.  That is by dates, in reality,
       it means no more than a four week old embryo. Many people
       wouldn't even know they are pregnant at that stage.

       No, there are no buttons anywhere on our screens which
       facilitate locking a thread (and I've checked several times) so
       there can't be a "wrong button" for us. Only Admin can lock (and
       unlock) threads so if not Steve in this case presumably it was
       Val, perhaps for some of the content.
       Anyway, on with the thread and I refer others to the rest of
       your post above. I'd just comment that the far-right riots have
       dominated the news media lately and probably pushed other
       protests into touch for now.

       It may have been me - it's easy to do it inadvertently when
       moving the cursor across the "lock" button (which I've got).

       It's easily done, I think you did the same once before or it
       could have been Val; whatever, no harm done.  Before I moved I
       did similar on a grocery order and ended up with seven 2L
       cartons of filtered semi-skimmed milk :-).  I managed to have
       six of them collected by the delivery driver, having pleaded my
       poor anxious pensioner status, but I was horrifed when they
       arrived, should have had a good look in the bags and refused
       them at delivery really but I don't like keeping the drivers
       hanging about on doorstep.
       Back to termination of pregnancies.  Atm, I have nothing to add
       to my previous post.
