In Britain, abortion is illegal after 24 weeks - unless the pregnancy poses a substantial risk to the mother. There are calls for late-stage abortions to be taken out of the criminal law framework. Ann Furedi is with the British Pregnancy Advisory Service, which is arguing that it should only be a matter between a woman and her doctor. Dr John Wyatt, emeritus professor of neonatal paediatrics at University College London, disagrees.
