The WHO guidelines suggest there should be no gestation limit. Ms O'Shea recommended an extension of the 12-week limit. What does she have in mind? Would we not run into the same logistical difficulty, if I can call it that, with the operation of the limit if it was 14 weeks, 16 weeks or whatever? Does a new limit really need to be set down in legislation?
