Late term abortions in UK -- for club feet! :-(

... is that in the overall scheme of things, the US has more liberal abortion laws than the UK and other European countries. If this is happening there, I shudder to think of the scope on which it occurs here.

needs to be avoided. Certainly there are cases when medical necessity dictates that it should be, at least, considered. My big problem with our current law is that, those favoring the choice of abortion were given pretty much the whole enchilada. As a male, I must feel some indignity that men are kept completely out of the decision making process in all cases. Consider a case where a man and wife will be ending a marriage but she is pregnant. If she wants to terminate the pregnancy as part of the divorce she is free to do so even if her husband wants the child and is willing to take it and full financial responsibility. Yes, she would have to go through with L & D and the associated risks. But this is no change from the same risk taken when they slept together. I cannot reconcile this at all. Of course there are many other possible scenarios where having a child in the womb is not convenient or desired at all. Of course modern medicine has given us the ability to know much more about a growing fetus including gender and general health. It's also provided, in some cases, important life saving information. Some corrective surgery is even performed prior to birth. But to use modern techniques solely for the purpose of determining whether or not the child meets the parents ideals for what is worthy of continuing the pregnancy to term is, to me, an abuse of respect for human life.

Is it ok or not?

... as long as we keep the numbers low, it's acceptable? What quota limit should we put on this before it becomes of concern?

No matter the percentage, we are talking about TWENTY lives snuffed out
