1Why was the Abortion Act passed in 1967?To stop dangerous 'back-street' abortions from taking place.
2Under what circumstances is abortion legal?If the pregnancy is less than 24 weeks: Risk of mother's or child's health; rape; incest; no money; still in school.
After 24 weeks: High probability of health risks; foetus at risk of severe disability.
3Name a European country in which abortion is illegal, and say why you think this country hasn't legalised this yet.Ireland: It has a high Catholic population and many Catholics disagree with abortion.
4What is the Marie Stopes Clinic?A clinic that deals with abortion and other aspects of sexual health.
5What is the legal time-limit for abortions in the UK?24 weeks (with exceptions)
6Do you think the time limit should be longer/ shorter? Why?I think the time limit should be set just before the point of viability, so in the future when it becomes possible to save a baby at a younger age, the time limit should be shorter.
