I know a lady who had to "terminate" as you put it at 37w, this is otherwise known as compassionate induction, because her baby's brain and body had deteriorated so much that had he been born living, he would have only known suffering, struggling and then death.
Could you watch your precious, loved, wanted, named baby be born and then immediately start to suffocate and struggle knowing that there was absolutely nothing that medical staff could do to ease their pain and suffering?
I have had 2 TfMRs, at the gestation that Nigel Farage is talking about lowering. I can't even begin to tell you about the horror and pain from the shock of the anomaly scan, hearing a doctor tell you what has gone wrong inside your body whilst you were blissfully unaware.
To being sent to fetal medicine, the agony of having to wait for a confirmation appointment, to have a kind bereavement midwife sit with you, while you hear how your darling baby is going through be born to pain, to suffering, to struggle, with no guarantee of it ever getting better for them. "There is no cure for this". Hoping that between then and your next appointment, that your baby will pass in your womb, meaning the decision is taken out of your hands.
To discussing your options, and I don't mean "what kind of abortion would you prefer" like some people seem to think it is.
I mean options such as; Would you like the dress your baby? Bath them once they are born? Do bring their blanket, the blanket you'd bought to take them home from the hospital in, that's been sat with the stash of nappies you'd been collecting, next to some muslin cloths with little elephants on.
Bring some books that you can read to them. Ten little fingers and ten little toes, Each peach pear plum, Guess how much I love you.
We can provide a cold cot, you can stay with your baby in hospital until you are ready to go home. Spoiler, you are never ready to hand your baby over to a morgue assistant and say "please look after my baby, we love him so very, very much, we didn't want him too feel any pain" and hear them tell you how they don't leave babies on their own, that there's always someone there to keep them company.
Walking away from them and leaving the hospital empty handed except for a memory box is a traumatic experience like no other, when there are fresh, new mummies shuffling along behind their beaming partners as they carry the car seat complete with bundled up baby, looking just as peaceful and perfect as yours did when you placed them gently in the cot outside the mortuary door, in a room made to look like a nursery, tucked up next to their teddy that will go in the cosy moses basket casket with them.
And then you plan a funeral, and you choose music that you will never be able to listen to again and begin a life where you have to shield your loss from other people because you don't know how it will be received and who will judge you. You see your grief reflected in the faces of others.
I believe life is sacred and precious, that is why I "chose" for my children not to suffer. It's a choice nobody would ever actually choose to make.
The vast majority amount of anomalies cannot be detected prior to 20w, they are too small to see. 99% of terminations happen before about 10w, the only ones happening past about 16w+ are the ones where there has been a complication and a shock diagnosis. Nigel Farage needs to leave this alone. As early as possible, as late as necessary.
