It's Ok Bernie...when I was Ward Sister this was often put to me, and most women understood the reasons why it wasn't really possible to do this.
Nowadays many of the terminations of pregnancy are done medically and mean just a very brief hospital stay of only a few hours.
All terminations are a tragedy for the woman concerned and often her family too.
I really do believe that terminating a pregnancy swops one problem for a series of other problems....and after 25 years working in Womens health I think i have enough experience to judge.
