In Australia (in my area) it's 12 weeks and let me tell you that is a dangerous number- I had a phantom period and thought I was 4 weeks rather than 8-9 weeks so by the time I had my appointment I was soooo close to being in the "cut off" range.

I would have killed myself if I hadn't had access to medical care. I was lucky an anomaly got me to the doctor in time to realise how far along I was.

As someone who has both had an abortion and been targeted by anti-choice violence, the only stress I felt was due to the shitty way I was treated.

I also live in a place where abortion is government funded and generally socially acceptable, but yet I have experienced abuse by medical staff on two occasions because I sought medical care.

Don't forget the battle isn't won yet, because we have legal rights.

Unfortunately it did happen. I went to the media about it because they effectively tried to deny me medical treatment through manipulation.
