What is your stance on abortion?
Pro-life, but allow in cases of rape, incest, or danger to the mother or child
People make mistakes and those mistakes don't necessarily mean those people are inherently bad; however, even mistakes have consequences. If two people decide to have unprotected sex, sometimes the consequence of that is conceiving a child. If that happens, an abortion should not be allowed simply because it would be convenient to not become a parent. We should invest in a more in-depth sex education for high school adolescents that includes topics of both safe sex and abstinence. I believe this will help decrease the number of abortions due to early education of the subject.
I also believe that citizens should have a choice as to whether or not they get an abortion. I do not agree with abortion in every instance, but there are some instances in which an abortion could be life-saving for the mother. If there is a situation where the child is guaranteed to not live after being born and the mother will likely die if she follows through with giving birth, I believe abortion can be justified.

I disagree. I believe that women should have the right to choose what happens to their bodies. Many of the people having abortions are either 1. SA victims or 2. incest victims. Whenever I think of abortion and the debate between banning it or not, I always think of a thirteen-year-old girl who comes home and tells her parents that she has been raped. The parents take her to the doctor, and they find out that she is pregnant, and if she gives birth, she will die because she is so young. Now, imagine this was your daughter, would you let her die for the baby to be born?

Teaching people a lesson on consequences is not worth bringing a life into this world. Getting an abortion is not some simple procedure that one will never think of again, it is a consequence in itself. Having said that, I agree that we should invest more in sexual education. I personally believe the choice should always be given to the pregnant woman. The level of sacrifice the woman provides for the child will always exceed the role the man plays in conception. The woman has only one body but the man has many more chances to procreate.

Not all pregnancies are an accidental child between 2 consenting adults. Should a child be born of rape, the mother should absolutely have the right to rid herself of that responsibility. Even if the child was not born of a sexual assault, a child is a massive financial and personal burden, and if the parents are not ready to raise a child, and if the mother is not ready to carry, they should have the right to not be forced to be pregnant and birth a child.

I somewhat agree with this view. While abortion should not be a constant “birth control method”, if a mistake is made, a woman should have the chance to fix it if they are financially and physically able to. The government should have no say in this form of reproductive healthcare and i believe it should be strictly up to the mother. I agree that citizens should have the abilit to choose, but i also believe that it should be justifiable under all circumstances, not only under the circumstance of well being for both the mother and baby.

While I agree that we should invest more money into in depth sex education I do not belive that people whom did not recieve the proper education should be stuck with something that they not only might not be ready for but cant and wont be able to handle. Pushing on the weight of a child could lead to other issues including child abandonment along with orphaneges being overrun with children whom were forcefuly put onto the parents.

I'm fully pro-choice and I believe there are many other factors that aren't just saving the life of the mother that I think should be considered. While I agree that sex education should be more in-depth, stuff happens and people will still make mistakes. In these situations, there are other things to take into account such as the parents' financial situation and if they will fully be responsible enough to raise a child.

If a child gets raped she should have an abortion. She is way too young to be having a kid when it can affect the rest of her life negatively or even positively. If the mother can’t survive giving birth to the child’s think she should definitely be able to have an abortion. However if you simply just don’t want to be pregnant I’m not sure if an abortion should’ve justified. So yes I do agree with most of this paragraph.

I mostly agree with him, especially about unprotected sex having consequences. However, I believe that the mother shouldn't be able to choose whether the baby lives or not. The mother had the chance to make a decision when she chose "unprotected sex" and it's already too late to switch up if the baby has already been conceived. But I do also believe in the rare cases where both the baby and the mother are at risk of death, than it's justified. Also, if a minor got pregnant from rape, they should have a choice whether to abort or not. But I believe that an adult should be able to give birth to the baby.

I argue that abortion is justified because it should be the mother’s choice whether not to give birth to the child, especially because the called child is actually fetus while growing in the uterus. I also agree with the fact that people shouldn’t just be handing out abortions, rather I think birth control is a better alternative unless absolutely necessary for an abortion in circumstances like S.A.
