Vive La France!

[Brigadier]

Two doctors have decided that Donna, a single parent on a council estate, non boat owner, doesn't, in their opinion, meet the criteria laid down in the act. What happens next?

Find two further doctors who do?

Is Donna 24 weeks or less gone?
Has she given a reason for wanting the abortion along the lines that she doesn’t want to be a mum or have a child or go through labour etc?
Is it correct to say there are no special risks that need to be taken into account?

If the answer is yes. The criteria have been met.

I think that's what the forms are for.

To approve it? Could do...

If the answer is yes. The criteria have been met.

Are you saying that anyone (non medical/doctors etc) can approve the abortion?

 

[denso13]

The criteria have been met.

Not in the doctors' opinions. What happens next?

I think he means doctors opinions are irrelevant. Which is not what the law says.

He's frequently wrong...or píssed. Just read some of the rubbish he posts in this thread.

Yes, no, and yes. The doctors have decided the criteria are not met. What happens next?

 

[noseall]

If the answer is yes.

The scenario was that the doctors criteria were not met - i.e the doctors did not approve the abortion.

 

[motorbiking]

What do you think 1.1a of the abortion act means.

 

[motorbiking]

Yes, no, and yes. The doctors have decided the criteria are not met. What happens next?

She gets another opinion. She may also consider reporting the first two doctors for their failure.

 

[noseall]

What do you think 1.1a of the abortion act means.

Just answer the question.

 

[denso13]

What do you think 1.1a of the abortion act means.

Irrelevant. What if two doctors think the criteria aren't met?

 

[noseall]

She gets another opinion. She may also consider reporting the first two doctors for their failure.

And the next pair of doctors do not approve the abortion?
