The Check List |
Two doctors must agree Mothers physical or mental health at risk OR The physical or mental health of other children is at risk OR The child will be physically or mentally handicapped Must be carried out by 24th week of pregnancy -this was voted on in 2008 and was kept the same. “Late stage” (after 20 weeks) abortions are unusual, and generally only allowed where there is a likelihood of a severely disabled baby being born, and/or of the mother being physically harmed by the birth of the child. In 2005, only 1% of UK abortions were carried out after 20 weeks. |
