Note to self: Do not read the BBC forums on abortion. Rage is bad for thesis. *fumes*

In view of all the people saying that women should not abort unless they've been raped - that the choice to have sex implies the possibility of pregnancy, and therefore women who choose to have sex should be prepared to have babies - I would like to present a modest proposal suggested by my friend B. today.

Men who oppose abortions? Shouldn't be having (heterosexual) sex.

ETA: Abortion limit remains at 24 weeks. I may have done a fistpump of joy.

24 weeks, seriously? I thought the abortion limit was 12 weeks and a viable foetus (preterm) was 24 weeks. Wut.

It's 12 weeks in many European countries - Britain has one of the longest limits.

As far as I understand it, one in five foetuses are viable at 24 weeks.
