"I disagree unless there's medical reason I had a cot death which was horrendous there's enough family planning around so in my opinion there's no excuse couldnt agree more xxx" Just medical reasons?? So if you are raped and get pregnant you have to live with the constant reminder, run the risk of neglecting a child through it being forced upon you? Yes you could have it adopted bit adoption homes are full of unwanted children as it is. I don't think it should be something done Willy nilly. A girl I knew at middle school went on the game and effectively used it as contraception but I do think that of a person falls pregnant and feels completely unable to cope there should be evaluations etc to be done to determine if termination is appropriate. If you take away the option you will just get more back street places doing it with coat hanger and a bottle of gin or whatever geniuses go use and then it becomes unregulated and dangerous. | |||

"Defenitely pro choice but I have my doubts about terminations after 20 weeks unless there is a foetal abnormality or danger to the woman." I still think 20 weeks is far too late, it's fully formed and sex can be determined. In most cases people know they are pregnant by 4-6 weeks. And it's a hard decision to make for anyone but 3 months to choose is too long. IMHO x | |||

"1st abortion was due to being on carbamezpine would have caused major problems 2nd abortion was because the pill I was on was not effective due to my bipolar meds I'm not ashamed I did it and never think of it and my life would be a mess with children being as though I've bipolar and why should the state support me and my kid which I could ill afford to keep??? I took preventative measures and got caught out but having children was never on the agenda for me! So if you want to jump on me and have a go give it your best shot " I admire you for being sensible. | |||

"Just as another termination clinic is fire bombed what are the forumites views on pregnancy termination? Pro life at any costs or a woman's right to choose?" I think its sad people have to be so aggressive in how they protest and feel they can force their views on others. | |||

"Just as another termination clinic is fire bombed what are the forumites views on pregnancy termination? Pro life at any costs or a woman's right to choose?" Ultimately the woman's choice, no one else should put pressure one way or the other. I do agree that there should be a support group to help her with her choice. | |||

"i find i get wound up by these subjects but yet i still find i'm drawn to them. im dead set against it and believe everything happens for a reason." Sorry to be harsh here cute but would you say that rape happens for a reason then? I keep harping on about this not because I have experienced it personally bit because o cannot see how anyone would force someone yo carry the child of a man that assaulted her. Yes a child is a life and a wonderful thing but that's usually when it's conceived out of love or even if not out of live it certainly was conceived with consent (on the woman's part. In terms of having sex, I know some men are duped into becoming fathers but that's a different story) | |||

"It's not just the womans life though is it ? There is another life there too ! And yes, before anyone has a go at me for being a pro lifer, I have been in that circumstance with an unplanned pregnancy that is life threatening !" It is still the woman's choice and only her choice... I disagree if they are using it as an after event contraception time and time again.. but it is still an option a woman should have. I had the choice of carrying on and possibly ending up very ill... So I chose not to.. I'd been on the pill.. already had 6 kids but had not been advised my pill would be affected by my other medication. It was still not an easy choice but right then would have been a bad time as it was a total accident. | |||

That's as maybe but that was your choice and you were free to make it if there are severe disabilities or the lady has other children should someone be born with no quality of life or have theirs taken away....there is really no right answer but im sure the other ladies in situations like mine and who have had to make this choice knew what was right for them. | |||

" You can terminate up to 24 weeks for any reason...doesnt have to be medical. Technically 2 doctors must agree there is a juststified reason for any termination and will usually use the danger to mental health if the pregnancy is continued reason. You can however terminate up until birth if the mother or foetus is at risk of serious mental or physical harm. | |||

But we all know though that every time we have sex regardless of whether we use contraception or not we are all running the slight risk of getting pregnant. | |||

"Bad enough when u loose one and then u have people that want to terminat I would only ever do that if there was something seriously wrong with the baby my baby was still born I would nt wish that on anyone " But that's just you and you can't let your personal experience (tragic as it was) cloud your judgement and expect someone else to suffer. I get it, I lost a baby too and haven't been able to have one since (and nor am I likely to), but I still believe it's a Woman's right to choose - ALWAYS. I DON'T believe Women should use them as a form of contraception however. *Her* | |||

" Little reason but significant I was 46 when our contraception failed. A sensible married woman with all the right information, access to and use of 99% effective contraception....I was the 1% failure. How many miles would you have wanted to walk in my shoes at that time? There was a very sad outcome, suffice it to say that a termination wasn't necessary but I was glad to know that the option was available to me if I'd needed it. | |||

Wouldn't surprise me if she has more by now. I do think it depends on the NHS Trust you fall under, but I know that as a 32yr old single woman with no children I'd be very unlikely to get sterilised no matter how hard I pleaded...doctor's wouldn't want to risk me finding 'the one' and suddenly wanting children - not for the sake of me but they wouldn't want to risk any kind of legal action if I could claim I wasn't properly counselled or advised. Cynical of me maybe but I know others that have tried | |||

"A few things come yo mind reading this thread If your totally sure you don't want kids, then why not get sterilised as no other means is 100% If there is a high chance of neither mother or baby surviving and you have other kids, is it not better that your kids have a mother than risk it for the sake of one unborn life? With all the news atm about locked in syndrome and people wanting the right to end their lives, is it fair to bring a human into the world in that situation? But then again we wouldn't have stephen hawkins one of the greatest minds ever if his mother had made the choice of life for him. How will the child of rape, especially incestual rape cope once they find out their background? Cos these days adoption isn't a big secret? I don't think this is ever an easy argument with a solid answer. But as someone has said when abortion is illegal you just get back street abortions and could u imagine the outcry then when woman die! But noone should go to the extremes of burning places down etc. Extremists are always a problem and cause more problems in this world than they are trying to solve! Everyone has the right to their own nbeliefs and everyone should respect that." I asked my doctor if I could when I was 35 he said no incase I changed my mind! | |||

"I just looked it up on the nhs website and it says if the woman is over 30 and doesn't want a pregnancy and isn't severly obese or had major problems with her uterus area then its fine. But that even under 30 can have it done altho they may suggest councilling first and even with health problems its not an impossibility. If you want it bad enough and push for it they will give u a sterilisation. If u just go oh ok if they refuse then I guess the dr isn't going to think ur committed enough to the idea." Well if you've read it on the internet then it must be absolute fact and personal experiences must be figments of the imagination | |||

" Refused for what reasons What about going private?" my age and my weight and the fact I'm now a single mum. I was 32 last time I asked.. and I can't afford to go private. So I use the pill and have the implant and mostly use condoms. But if that all fails then it would depend on many circumstances.. but I am glad I have the choice. I remember watching a programme about ladies in Ireland that were having to come over to the UK to pay for private abortions. | |||

I was refused 3 times.. even after 6 kids. So they won't always do it. I know a woman with 7 kids and she was told they wouldn't even consider it till she was 30...she was 27 at the time. Wouldn't surprise me if she has more by now. I do think it depends on the NHS Trust you fall under, but I know that as a 32yr old single woman with no children I'd be very unlikely to get sterilised no matter how hard I pleaded...doctor's wouldn't want to risk me finding 'the one' and suddenly wanting children - not for the sake of me but they wouldn't want to risk any kind of legal action if I could claim I wasn't properly counselled or advised. Cynical of me maybe but I know others that have tried" You have to sign a disclaimer that would stop u being able to sue them. I know a guy who had surgery for bowel cancer and it all went horribly wrong and he ended up in an awful state, but nothing he could do as he had signed the consent form to say if anything went qwrong then tough basically. Unless you can prove that something went wrong through neglect then you don't stand a chance. If they offer u help and support before the surgery and u take it then it will all be noted that they have done all they can to support u with ur decision. If u refuse the help then they would prob refuse the op | |||

"Off track I know,but I find it really odd that a woman can be refused a sterilisation yet a man can go get a vasectomy with hardly any questions asked at all as my OH did" I know and I know men in their early 30's who have had it..I know you can have it reversed but its still expensive...and not always successful.. | |||

"I just looked it up on the nhs website and it says if the woman is over 30 and doesn't want a pregnancy and isn't severly obese or had major problems with her uterus area then its fine. But that even under 30 can have it done altho they may suggest councilling first and even with health problems its not an impossibility. If you want it bad enough and push for it they will give u a sterilisation. If u just go oh ok if they refuse then I guess the dr isn't going to think ur committed enough to the idea. Well if you've read it on the internet then it must be absolute fact and personal experiences must be figments of the imagination " As I said it was the nhs website! Doctors have to follow guidelines.. So yh I will put trust into the nhs website and have u never heard of needing a second opinion? I've learnt in life never to rely on what just one dr says! | |||

I was told it was classed as major surgery and as such I couldn't have it. | |||

"It does happen though. Some women have the ability to cut off their emotion from it. Like I said I knew a girl on the game who got knocked up a few times and just had abortions. She'd talk about them like they were nothing because she had no attachment to the pregnancy and just saw it as something that would cost her money and customers. I'll grant you it might not be many that warlike that but it does happen. " How people present is not always how they feel. She had her reasons, losing money and customers. Treating it as a business decision may be a way of coping. I don't know her, of course, and you do. What I do know is that what people say, how they say it and the face they put on things doesn't always reflect what is happening inside. | |||
