How far along a pregnancy can be terminated if a developmental abnormality is detected?

Kaytee asked:


I thought you can elect to end the pregnancy until 22 weeks, if there are abnormalities in fetal development. Is that so?

    Depending on the state, it is 22-26 weeks. These are done in a hospital, not in a clinic.

    You can elect to end a pregnancy at any time during the pregnancy if there is an abnormality (in most states). Certain procedures to end the pregnancy might be prohibited after a certain point in the pregnancy.

    Its still your baby whether it has developmental abnormalities or not. You should not terminate a pregnancy for this reason but celebrate having a special child.
