Row over Romanian, 11, seeking abortion

AN 11-year-old Romanian girl is at the centre of a row over whether she should be allowed to travel to Britain for an abortion.

The girl, who claims she was raped by her 19-year-old uncle, is 20 weeks pregnant — after the legal limit for abortion in her own country, which stands at 14 weeks.

Britain has one of the highest legal limits for abortion in Europe at 24 weeks.
