I can't believe that. I dont agree with abortion, but I understand why some people need it (like rape victims). Having to wait until 15weeks gone to have a termintation because the sodding NHS has a seven week waiting list, when they're not supposed to go over 3 weeks. I mean, by 15weeks, they'll have started getting a bump, which for rape victims could cause serious upset for them. When the heck is this country going to get back into shape?

There's also stuff in the news about women in their 20s not going for smear tests.

Congratulations on getting the all clear hun!

I certainly don't agree with the non smear in 20 somethings, I was too in my 20's (25) when I had to have laser treatment to remove pre cancerous cells.

I was told that if I hadn't of had these checks then I could have had cancer within 5 years and I would have only been 30.

As for the termination wait, it is disgusting, people have them for many many reasons, sometimes not necesarilly for not wanting the baby but from pressure elsewhere and I really don't see that this wait helps them at all
