How far along do you have to be before you can't get an abortion?

Answer 1

you can get it straight away

But once you are 28 weeks thats the cut off point after that they dont do it.
and I wouldnt advise waiting that long either, there are people in this world fighting to abolish the 28 weeks abortion law because babies have been born and survived at that stage and they say by then you are literally killing a child rather than a fetus.
Also at 28 weeks you will have to push it out/give birth to it. rather than just have it aborted the usual way.

your best bet is to do it within the 12 week period they advise

Answer 2

It depends on the state in which you live. If you or someone you know is thinking about abortion, you need to make sure you have all the facts. Take a look at:
