Review Legal time limits on Abortion

Reduce Termination of Pregnancy to 12 weeks in normal circumstances.

Times have changed and women now know very early if they are pregnant. There is little need for LATE ABORTIONS now. Home pregnancy testing kits confirm pregnancy almost from conception 2-4 weeks.
Only in extreme medical circumstances should it be needed that a Termination of pregnancy takes place beyond 12 weeks.
