Kate is a 17 year old patient,

Kate is a 17 year old patient, unmarried and 8 weeks pregnant. She is a rather remarkable girl in that she lives independently while still a senior in a high school. She tells you that she was an adoptee given back to foster care, and then abused in that system. She is now an emancipated minor who works thirty (30) hours per week at a service industry job while also ranking in the top ten (10) percent (%) of her class. She is University-bound, with a full-ride scholarship for pre-med undergraduate studies at a prestigious university. Kate has absolutely no family support, and the former boyfriend who is the father of her unborn child/foetus simply disappeared upon learning of the pregnancy. Kate is scared, has no private health insurance, and says she doesn’t want to be pregnant or a mum (“Perhaps someday, but not now!”). She rejects the adoption option, based on her own experience growing up, and wants an abortion. Answer the following in detail: A pregnancy of less than 20 weeks in Western Australia can be considered for abortion/termination if the medical practitioner perceives that continuation of pregnancy would lead to more physical and mental risk than termination of a pregnancy. Alternatively that the woman would suffer serious personal, family consequences if the pregnancy continued. Additionally there must be informed consent and counselling by another medical practitioner who is not involved in the procedure. True or False.
