Baby at 24 weeks
So, I wasn't sure whether to post this or not. But I decided to as it is something I am against (however I will NOT judge or criticize anyone who has opted for an abortion).
In the UK, an abortion can be carried out up to 24 weeks.
There was a tv show on tonight which highlighted babies being born at 23 weeks.
The show highlights how their parents have to make the decision whether or not to let them fight for their lives or to let them go. (Obviously they are born this prematurely for medical reasons)
If the child was born a week before at 22 weeks, then it would be considered a miscarriage and simply be left to die.
The show was making the point of is it really fair to subject a child born at this age to go through all the medical treatments, tubes etc to be able to fight for survival?
The tv show shows you the parents, and these babies born at 23 weeks and how they look and are proper little babies but are just not fully grown enough to survive on their own yet.
Watching this it shocks me to think that an abortion can be allowed up to 24 weeks, when you have little babies that are born before this who fight for their lives AND even in some cases survive and grow to be healthy little babies.
In my opinion, EVERY child should have the right to a life, I am NOT however against other people's opinions, as everyone is entitled to their views on things.

I totally agree with NicMom, you should NEVER feel bad for raising money to save you childs life! Doing something like that to save a life it worth all the effort you put into it.
totally agree, im 100% against abortions my cousins had 5 now 3 on the NHS and 2 private and she has 2 children my thing is we are taught enough these days about sex education if you dont want to get pregnant keep your legs shut!! SIMPLE!! ((my opinion!!))
Also dont know if you ladies from the UK have seen on the news about the new booklet teaching 5year olds about sex, shocking the detail it goes into i agree start early but surley we have to let kids be kids??!!??
It really is sad that a baby can be aborted upto 24weeks thats a near enough fully grown baby bless!! Also any baby born before 22weeks is a miscarriage are you kidding me??ABSOLUTLY RIDICULOUS!!!
There are millions of women in this world including myself would love nothing more to have a baby and would treasure a little life and some women are so irresponsible as to have a abortion at 22weeks sickening!!!

Brings it all home at the end of that programme, a mum and dad getting to bring their little baby girl home who was born 5 months early weighing just over a lb and is not 7lbs and ready to go home! It's totally worth the fight for life!
It's OT, but Chantal don't you ever feel bad for having fundraisers for baby Jesse! I think it's great that you continue to raise money for other kids with BA.
I know!!! What a horrible thing to say, trying to save an innocent life is never a waste of money!
I felt bad having a fundraising to try to raise money for my late son's transplant to try to prolong his life, can't imagine raising money to kill my child! :( That brings me to tears that a mother would think or do such a thing. I just wonder to myself what this world has come to...
