[QUOTE="Angela Channing, post: 330813, member: 33"] In the USA, like here in the UK, abortion rates have been falling sharply in the last 40 years probably due to better sex education, the greater availability of contraception and rising prosperity. Recently it has begun to rise again as people are finding it more difficult to make ends meet. One of the most effective ways to reduce abortion rates is to have greater redistribution of wealth and other action to eradicate poverty however the right wingers who trying to restrict abortions wouldn't support that. I think overwhelmingly the decision to have an abortion is a difficult one for most women and no one makes the choice lightly because it is often a traumatic experience. In the UK abortion is allowed legally up to the 24th week of pregnancy although it is allowed up to birth if the child is known to have severe abnormalities (including Down's Syndrome). Personally, I don't agree with the severe foetal abnormality exemption as it values the lives of disabled people less than those of other people and I would prefer the same limit for all groups.
