There was a very similar case in the UK recently where a woman induced an abortion at 32 weeks and was sentenced to two years in prison. Many people here were appalled by this, though such late abortions are basically illegal in every country in the world.

I don’t think women should be locked up for inducing very late-term abortions. But I think we can all agree that it’s a terrible decision to do this, can’t we? In both these cases, the women basically had a still-birth and had to dispose of a dead baby themselves. Can you imagine? We should try to stop people from doing this for their own good.
