It seems that in Europe a fetus and an infant are the same thing. Hmmm. I guess that if there were no anti-abortion movement here the abortionists would not seek to distinguish a fetus from a baby. But for now they keep repeating the lie.
France and Germany permit "social" abortions only up to the 10th and 12th weeks respectively.
I have never heard the term "social abortion" before and I cringe at the prospect of what this might mean. Not sure I really want to know.

It's a distinction between abortion 'on demand' and for medical reasons. A later abortion can only be on grounds of a medicial threat to the health of mother or foetus.
Actually, strictly under British law, there are no 'social abortions'. For an abortion to take place, two doctors must agree that there is a risk of some physical or mental damage to the health of the mother if the pregnancy continues. In practice, obviously, all a pregnant woman has to do is to say that she doesn't want to continue the pregnancy which, in itself creates enough of 'a risk to her mental health if the pregnancy continues' to satisfy the requirements of the law.
