***CORRECTION ***

The cut off of 23 weeks gestation does NOT apply if the fetus  has a life limiting abnormality which will result in the death of the fetus either before or within 28 days of birth . Women CAN avail  of a termination and there is no upper limit of gestation in these cases. We discuss this point at 4:37 mins 

**The abortion process is different after 22+6 days.
