I personally feel 24 weeks is a long way in. Mostly irrelevant. A vast majority of abortions are carried out much earlier. Late term are very rare. Usually when abnormalities occur etc.However,as MBK points out, the law as it stands is adequate for legal terminations under 24 weeks after medical advice signed off by two doctors who approve the procedure. Changing the law to extend this period endangers the life of an unborn child.
