Ban abortions after 12 weeks

What the petition asks

Ban abortions after 12 weeks. Babies can survive after 21 weeks, and we believe it is wrong to be able to have an abortion after 12 weeks.
There are alternatives people can turn to if they do not want their child. There are many people who can’t have children and who would be over the moon to be able to raise a child. Stop allowing abortions after 12 weeks – we believe every child deserves a chance in life.
