Your rights 8/8
| Back | ||
Am I allowed to have an abortion? A woman of any age can have an abortion in England, Wales and Scotland, with agreement from two doctors. An under-16 could have an abortion without her parents' consent, if she understands the issues, and doctors think this would be in her best interests. Abortion is legal only up to 12 weeks of pregnancy in Jersey, and is illegal in Northern Ireland and the Isle of Man, except in very exceptional circumstances. If you think you're pregnant, don't try to deal with it on your own. Talk to your parents if you can, or ask for help. |
