Making abortion illegal removes a person’s ability to make decisions about their own body, health, and future. Every pregnancy is different, and not everyone is physically, emotionally, or financially prepared to carry a pregnancy to term. Some pregnancies result from rape, incest, or pose serious health risks to the pregnant person. In these cases, forcing someone to continue a pregnancy can cause immense trauma and suffering.

Legal abortion doesn’t force anyone to have one—it simply gives people the freedom to choose based on their own values, beliefs, and circumstances. Banning abortion takes away that freedom and replaces it with a one-size-fits-all rule that ignores the complexity of real life.

Abortion is needed in certain situations, if the mother will die, or if the baby will die. If the mother is underaged, or if the situation that the baby will be born into will be bad and the mother cannot care for it. People will say to put the baby into the foster care system, but that is already overpopulated with children. Less people are adopting because of inflation and the prices rising, it’s hard to care for a child. Birth control should be accessible to everyone and anyone. Abortion is not murder, and most abortions do not happen unless needed.

 @B86HMBC from Texas  disagreed…8mos8MO

Abortion should be legal in every state. A non-desire baby may live in bad conditions and be unhappy, live with ne resources.

 @B86GZPZ from Oregon  disagreed…8mos8MO

If a child is raped or other extreme circumstances a child should not have to give birth to another child, it's inhumane. as well as children who aren't taught safe sex. while abortions shouldn't be used as birth control they also shouldn't be taken away from people who need them like children and women with physical or mental health concerns. we already have enough children without families or homes we don't need to add more and put women at risk. Abortions is not murder, when done within a certain time frame, the fetus wouldn't have even had thoughts or feeling yet because it has still not grown that ability and is best described as a parasite. Your beliefs should not affect other people who have different views and opinions especially when you don't know the circumstances.

 @B89XMWC from Missouri  disagreed…8mos8MO

Abortion is a necessary procedure used for issues other than terminating a healthy fetus. Many women have needed abortions to remove deceased fetuses from the uterus. In cases of rape or child pregnancy, an abortion might be necessary to save the life of the mother, who is a living human. Abortion is not murder unless it is past a stage where it could feel pain or exist outside of the womb.

 @B86FWNBSocialist from Texas  disagreed…8mos8MO

Abortion is healthcare for the woman not for the unborn fetus. If you believe in the choice for a women to be able to have access to essential healthcare like birth control, then why restrict abortion? It's not your body to decide what to do with it.

 @B89TCLL from Arizona  disagreed…8mos8MO

Most abortion cases are coming from victims of rape, incest, or abusive situations. No matter what the reason is, abortion right is a woman's right, it is a human right. A woman should have the power to choose and decide for her health instead of being restricted or denied of an ideology. There are a variety of ways to reduce the percentage of abortions, for instance, better sex education and being open-minded about protection, such as condoms. These solutions will keep the current society safe and reduce the abortion percentage. Instead of banning this right and labeling it as "murder," we should be more empathetic and "switch" our point of view on the woman and why they wants this abortion.

 @B86DTNM from New Jersey  disagreed…8mos8MO

Scientifically, embryos are not fully formed humans, just human-material. The consensus by most of the experts is that a fetus is not human enough to count abortion as murder, it's more akin to removing dead skin than murder.

 @B86FTLF from Ohio  disagreed…8mos8MO

I believe that women should have the choice on what to do. Yeah if you're conceiving you have that chance of being pregnant and I think that if you know the risks then you shouldn't have an abortion. That isn't my saying or the governments saying either. It is up to the mother whether she wants the baby or not. Yes, it can cause complications but there is risks with everything. Birth control should not be taken away either because it does help with periods and it is a prevention of children although not 100%, but still a way of safe sex.

 @B86GPFPDemocrat from Ohio  disagreed…8mos8MO

In my eyes, a baby doesn't even have a chance to live until it's officially born. And if the possibility of severe complications arise during the pregnancy, the mother should be allowed to terminate the child because that child has not seen the light of day, and if it's possible the child's life will end up being very hard amidst some kind of developmental or physical disability, it might be for the child's own good for the mother to save face and abort.

 @B86GY4J  from Nebraska  disagreed…8mos8MO

Abortion is not murder because an unborn fetus is not a human. It cannot stand up for itself because it cannot think for itself or live outside of the person carrying it. I also think that birth control should not be banned, healthcare for women should be up to the woman resiving the healthcare.

 @B86G8FZPeace and Freedom from Florida  disagreed…8mos8MO

Abortion she be a woman’s choice within a time frame. She should not be forced to have a child she does NOT want.

 @B87TRMT from Illinois  disagreed…8mos8MO

You disgust me. Women should have the choice of what they want for the baby they are carrying. If you don't want to ¨kill¨ a baby, then you don't have to that's why women have the choice.

 @B86FY29 from Texas  disagreed…8mos8MO

Women should be allowed to dictate what happens to their own body. No one should tell a woman what to do when it comes to having an abortion or not.

 @B86VPZHDemocrat from Massachusetts  disagreed…8mos8MO

With pregnancies (some unwanted, those due to rape), the mother's life can be taken away. The "baby" isn't formed until months after conception and I believe that the life of the mother is more important than the life of a fetus. With rape, it is sexual assault and should be against the morality of everyone.

 @B8CXZSB from New York  disagreed…7mos7MO

Abortion has only ever been legal at a stage to which the baby is not fully developed and can not feel. Abortion is healthcare and saves woman's lives.

 @B86TW5M  from Nebraska  disagreed…8mos8MO

Abortion is not murder but birth control should not be taken away they are right that it provides safe sex.

 @B86HLX9 from North Carolina  disagreed…8mos8MO

abortions are made when the fetus is not yet developed. rape and incest should be taken into consideration. taking away abortion takes away women’s rights to choose

 @B886M84Women’s Equality from California  disagreed…8mos8MO

Abortion is not murder, because the cell is non-living. Which you previously stated, it is not living, so that supports the claim that this nonliving cell has no sense of opinion or life because it is simply not living, so abortion is not murder in any case but a source of healthcare.

 @B86GQ5WDemocrat from Florida  disagreed…8mos8MO

Abortion is not murder when it is still a fetus in the stomach and hasn’t grown any human features yet. Abortion should be used circumstantially if raped or if the woman’s life is at risk. If a teenager was just being stupid then those consequences are on them. But abortion is not murdering something that doesn’t even have a gender or any human features.

 @B86GX9Q from Nevada  disagreed…8mos8MO

Abortion is not murder as, to be considered dead with a death certificate, and to be able to have a death certificate you need a birth certificate, which a fetus cannot have due to it not being alive. But I do think there should be a restriction upon how far along you can have one.

 @B86GN6DWomen’s Equality  from New York  disagreed…8mos8MO

I don't think abortion is murder. Saying you shouldn't take away birth control because it helps is also kind of contradictory. There are women who need to have abortions for medical reasons like, they could die if they have the baby or the baby will die after being birthed. If you're using the stance that "the Bible says it's wrong" the Bible also states that life is started after the first breath, so that also has its contradictions.

 @B86GXM2 from Tennessee  agreed…8mos8MO

I agree with this. While attempting to micromanage moral choices can seriously backfire, I don’t agree with handing out birth control like candy because “they’re already doing it.” While you can’t legislate morality in the strictest sense, our laws at least partially reflect our values. If we value the lives and well being of the unborn and the born, it is a mistake to enable irresponsible behavior that leads to children being produced who are unwanted and grow up in situations that make their flourishing overly difficult. Moral defeatism is not the answer.

 @B86GS9T from Florida  agreed…8mos8MO

Abortion is not murder because it's less than a fetus. Women should have the right to choose what they want to do with their body.

 @B86TYD3Republican  from Nebraska  agreed…8mos8MO

I 100% agree. Abortion should not be happening because whether it happened because of incest, rape, or even just an accident, that is not an excuse to murder a child. "DEVELOPMENT DOES NOT EQUAL DIGNITY"-Charlie Kirk

 @B86JXGK from Maryland  agreed…8mos8MO

Life begins at conception, so abortion is wrong at any point in pregnancy. The Catholic church also teaches against the use of contraception. I believe in the options of abstinence, motherhood, and adoption.

 @B86FWJGPeace and Freedom from Florida  agreed…8mos8MO

Abortion is murder now matter what state the baby is in. Birth control should not be taken away either, it provides women a way to control periods and it gives safe sex without murdering a child that doesn't even have a way to stand up for its self yet.

 @B86FVBM from Ohio  agreed…8mos8MO

I agree with the abortion part of this. Abortion is considered murder in my opinion, it is a living thing and grows within the women's womb, creating a human-being. Although I agree with the abortion part, birth control should NOT be took away. Birth control helps women with more than just preventing pregnancy and it is very unlikely to become pregnant while on the pill or whichever form of birth control a female is taking/using.

 @B86HD4JWomen’s Equality from Nevada  disagreed…8mos8MO

No matter the stage, a baby is conceived an embryo in the early stage of its development. It is not fully formed, has not hatched, and does not have a beating heart, so it cannot be considered murder.

 @B86GXY5 from Nevada  disagreed…8mos8MO

birth control should not get rid of, but a baby is not murdered because it is not even alive or conscious to register pain or death, the only thing a fetus does is affect the mother carrying it so she should get to choose.

 @B89Z82TWomen’s Equality from Ohio  disagreed…8mos8MO

Abortion is not murder because before the child is born it is living off of its mother, meaning it could possibly be classified as a parasite.
