BBC News - "A bid to cut the upper limit for abortions from 24 weeks to 12 weeks has been defeated in the Commons by 393 votes to 71."

I think I agree with the outcome of the voting. Both the Royal Society for Gynaecologists and the British Medical Association have said that there is no new scientific research to support the reduction of the upper limit. I think it's the mother's choice as to what should be done with the foetus, it's her baby after all. The government shouldn't take this chance away, especially if the baby is unwanted.

A 13 year old i know through somebody got pregnant but didn't find out until she was 27 weeks gone so she couldn't have an abortion. I wouldn't be suprised if her baby grows up unloved and neglected as she comes from a rough background. People neglect these situations when talking about abortion, I think they were right to not lower the limit.

Not really. Even at 24 weeks the chances of an aborted foetus living are pretty low.

Theres always putting the baby up for adoption.  Everyone deserves a chance to live. Do you like living? I'm sure at times you must if not all the time, and just imagine not having that right.

It's still like... less than 10% survival rate, if memory serves. In any case, the baby is relying on machines to live and thus I would argue that they are not truly alive at that point. The right decision was made.

Bullshit. Welcome to science. Survival rates for premature babies has not improved significantly at all from ten years ago so there is absolutely no reason to change the law. The amendment was added by reactionaries and was batted down by the rest, rightly so. It had nothing to do with science.

This has been a great few days. The termination limit has remained despite the best efforts of the Catholic Church, hybrid human-animal embryos are supported, the Human Fertilisation and Embryology bill has won the day for science over superstition.
