If you cant tell the diffrence betweena "ball of cells" and a 5 month (21 week) baby that can sustain itself then you shouldnt comment!
This was a housing question not an abortion debate

The law allows a termination up to 24 weeks.

21 weeks is not generally considered viable without extreme medical intervention.

Just because she's pregnant is no reason for her to give up on her education at this time so why assume that she isn't going back to college? If you had her best interests at heart you would want her to get good qualifications whilst she's young so that your child has the advantages this can bring and you will have a genuine partner to share the financial respponsibilities of family life..

I think some people don't know what is available regarding childcare etc and assume they will have to give up college.

It's not easy juggling a young baby and a college course, but it has been done before and there is help available.

Care to Learn can help pay for your childcare costs if you are under 20.

Sorry this is a bit off topic OP, but thought it might be useful.

The 24 week termination is a opening a whole new can of worms.
A baby born at 21 weeks does need extreme medical intervention as my niece will testify who was born at 21 weeks and 2 days.
21 weeks is not a ball of cells and if i was the op i would take great offense at the suggestion

DS born at 26 + 3 - Extreme medical intervention needed.
Amillia Taylor (youngest ever recorded prem baby) born at 21 + 6 - Extreme medical intervention needed!

Your niece 21+2 - no medical intervention?

Of course.....

Actually it was another user you disagreed with. Not me.
I was simply addressing the sweeping statement you made about babies at 21 weeks not needing extreme medical intervention.
