Well asking that a breathing child have it's life ended outside of the womb (obviously for non medical reasons).... well I stand fast there. That IS murder. I'm so saddened by thinking of a woman ending a 19 week pg bc she's a girl. But I can acknowledge the pro choice stance, it isn't it's own entity. But once that baby is born... any rights she has are gone as the child is no longer in her body.

I agree.
Most medical terminations from what I have read are because the child has a condition that is incompatible with life and will not survive, or will have to suffer too much pain and not live long. I don't think that can be compared to aborting a healthy child because of gender.

And I guess I thought I was pro choice until I understood that meant I couldn't put a time frame on it and as I couldn't stomach the idea of an otherwise healthy baby being aborted after it was viable, I understood that meant I am not pro choice. I am not pro life as I support abortion, up to a gestational point in time.
As for what happens in a LTA (non medically required) after 24 or 25 weeks there seems to be no agreement. My focus isn't on the theory but what happens in real life (as hard as it is for me to stomach).

After being in the nicu, seeing babes born at 23/4/5 weeks. What they go through, the trauma they must endure. Many have life long issues. If the parent doesn't want them? If they are saved against a parents wishes, then they'd just be abandoned.
I had a 31 week prem and had my tubes tied during the section because my chances of having a micro prem ( and doing a lot of damage to myself) was extremely high. I couldn't handle the thought of putting a baby through that.
I'm sorry if this offends.

Needing to provide a reason is really up to the GP you initially see, I was not question past am I sure this is the right choice. People I have spoken to have had to go from GP to GP to obtain a referral then there is the matter of affording one (mine was $500 cash) and accessibility to a clinic not everyone has the ability to pay travel and accommodation costs as well.

Yet when you look at the statistical reasons behind LTA in America for example the main reasons given are not because of a medical condition with the foetus. They relate to things such as incorrect dates, fear of telling a partner or family, difficulty accessing abortion, or the mother wasn't actually aware she was pregnant.
