Q: abortion at 16 weeks?

I am getting a non-invasive blood paternity test done. However, it can only be done @ 14 weeks, and I won't get results until the 16th week. Would abortion totally be out of the question at this point? (if the test doesn't come out how i want?)

It depends on where you live. I'm not sure if there are still places that do second trimester abortions, but you will certainly have to look deeper. I hope everything goes well!

It depends on where you live, but 16 weeks is not all that far along for an abortion.

Hey HolisticGurl,

May I ask why you would abort if...I assume your partner...is not the father?

I believe at 16 weeks its a Dilation and Evacuation. 4 months is pretty far along but they do offer them in the 2 nd trimester. Some women get genetic testing done and find there is something wrong with the child and choose to abort.
Good luck to you
