I don't agree with someone who uses abortion as a form of birth control. There are so many ways to prevent unwanted pregnancies and no reason not to use them if you don't want to become pregnant.
But I do think that people have the right to choose what is best for them. No one should be able to make that choice for them. If they can live with their decision and the consequences that come with it, everyone else should mind their business.

There is a cut off time. At least in Canada there is. Unless it is an abortion for medical reasons. IE there is a severe developmental problem or the child will suffer post-natal. You cannot have an abortion here if you are passed 20 weeks gestation. I have seen and read things that say, if you are passed 20 weeks, you will be referred to the States as some doctors preform abortions passed that period.
From the FAQ sections on a women's health clinic in Canada:
I am at 18 weeks of gestation can you still help me?
Yes, we do abortions up until 20 weeks of gestation. If you are more than 20 weeks of gestation you can also give us a call because we can help refer you to the United States where in some states abortions are completed after this point depending on the medical circumstances.Last edited by Bossy; 05-14-2012, 10:02 AM.

I have two children. I could never imagine having an abortion. It is something I personally couldn't live with.
It must be on the premise that the fetus are believed to feel pain around that time. This is true for many states in the US

I used to put headphones on my tummy and my little ones would kick. It was amazing because after birth, the same songs that I would play during pregnancy would put them right to sleep.
