shouldn't 10 weeks be more suitable and understandable?

im not saying it's right or wrong, just wondering what peoples opinions are on why it should be up to 24 weeks

Well i dont' think it is right for ANY woman to get an abortion so it is her choice...  At 24 weeks the Fetus is bigger so i think it would kill the woman that gets theabortion wouldn't it?

mm no how would it kill the women?
they take the fetus out of the vagina
just like a natural birth, but not as big

I guess the only argument I have for it, aside from the fact that there are so many factors the could explain why a woman would want a late abortion, is my grandmother. She didn't know she was pregnant with my mother until she was nearly 23 weeks along and she felt the kicks. She had always had light and irregular periods, and she spotted throughout the period. And she only gained a total of 10 lbs. She actually went in to get checked out because she was scared she had a tumor.

That's where the whole "24 weeks" came from. It has nothing to do with the woman needing that long to decide, just when it was decided the fetus could live outside the woman so it was no longer morally or ethically right.
