Should it be legal to terminate a potentially disabled baby right up until full term?
for anyone – to be honest, I believe abortions should be allowed for all at any stage for anyone who wants one, for whatever reason.
Firstly, the Abortion Act is severely outdated, especially regarding the language used. Handicapped is a word we no longer use. There’s also the use of emotive words such as “suffering” has no place in a legal document. This also translates into how the news of a possible disability is delivered to expecting parents by medical professionals. More often than not, parents are told of how awful their circumstance is and presented with termination like it’s the logical choice; this feels incredibly manipulative. When you’ve been raised in a society that sees disability as tragic and then told your child will have a low quality of life, termination can seem like the logical option.
