With regard to gestation limits for requests, obviously they vary, but the limit is mainly the first trimester. Is there a big difference between, for example, ten and 14 weeks in terms of practicality? Is there any noticeable change or movement in any of the countries that have these limits in terms of changing because something is not workable?
