nI had an abortion at 16+ weeks. i got pregnant two months after giving birth to my son. i had postnatal depression and was in hell. it changed my life for the better. my family is against abortion.i had to take my son to england and stay at a friends.thankgod he was so supportive. it cost me nearly 2000euro,as a single parent i didnt know where the money was going to come from and really regret leaving it that late in the pregnancy.if the government would make it legal for abortion up until 12 weeks it would be a godsend to alot of desperate women out there. sea will not stop a woman seeking abortion.
