No, plenty of large European countries have cutoffs after the first trimester.
I've been to an 18 week ultrasound and two births, both traumatic (I put a hole in the wall of a bathroom at UCSF after the first), and while we wound up with healthy, happy kids who are the best decisions of our lives, I can't imagine forcing anyone through that experience, and there is pretty much no limitation on abortion I'd actively vote for. Also the notion that people are obtaining abortions like, the day before their due date is just silly. Rayiner, what would an abortion the day before a due date even mean? The other term for that would be "scheduled caesarian".
