Comments on: Abortion – 24 reasons for 24 weeks https://www.redpepper.org.uk/political-parties-and-ideologies/feminism/24-reasons-for-24-weeks/ Fri, 22 Sep 2023 15:08:27 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: Rose Mons https://www.redpepper.org.uk/political-parties-and-ideologies/feminism/24-reasons-for-24-weeks/#comment-202505 Mon, 06 May 2013 16:39:47 +0000 https://www.redpepper.org.uk/activism/24-reasons-for-24-weeks/#comment-202505 I have rarely seen a lazier piece of journalism. Almost every single one of these reasons is false.

Just start with number one. Okay there has been no increase in the last ten years but that is only because the big medical jump was made between 1967 and 2003. Penny is deliberately trying to disguise the truth of the situation.

One thing that is never pointed out in this whole debate is that the term limit in almost all other EU states is 12 weeks and nobody, feminists included, are campaign to increase it:

I guess a lot of it is from the Science & Tech Committee report?

I really wish this was common knowledge and NOT folklore….!
