wmw999 2,117 #26 February 18, 2012 From Wikipedia Quote United States: In 2003, from data collected in those areas that sufficiently reported gestational age, it was found that 6.2% of abortions were conducted from 13 to 15 weeks, 4.2% from 16 to 20 weeks, and 1.4% at or after 21 weeks. Because the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's annual study on abortion statistics does not calculate the exact gestational age for abortions performed past the 20th week, there are no precise data for the number of abortions performed after viability. In 1997, the Guttmacher Institute estimated the number of abortions in the U.S. past 24 weeks to be 0.08%, or approximately 1,032 per year. How many of those after 20 weeks were for either maternal health or for non-viable deformities? Those numbers aren't recorded. But I'll bet it's a significant chunk of them. My personal feelings are that it should be available; until 16 weeks (which is definitely before viability) without special dispensation or whatever, and after that time it would require some form of review or something. If men got pregnant, I wonder how the debate would go. Of course, that question belongs in the other thread.Wendy P.There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But I'll bet it's a significant chunk of them. Given that the numbers listed only add up to 11.8%, there's a huge range that may or may not be due to maternal health, non-viable deformities or other reasons. Quote My personal feelings are that it should be available; until 16 weeks (which is definitely before viability) without special dispensation or whatever, and after that time it would require some form of review or something. That seems reasonable - which means, of course, that it will *NEVER* be considered. Mike I love you, Shannon and Jim. POPS 9708 , SCR 14706 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
