All lives are important. A baby who was conceived holds equal value to that of an elderly person on hospice . Both deserve to live. We should value all human life. Life begins at conception,

 @B9VGL49 from Minnesota  disagreed…5mos5MO

Once a baby is conceived it is not human until a certain point in pregnancy, it is a fetus. There are many circumstances in which a woman should not be forced to have a child she does not want. Rape, incest, money trouble, health issues, and even just not wanting a child are more than enough of a reason to not have a child. If it is not your body, it is not your choice.

It is human, but it is not a person. Human is a species. Sperm are human, but they are not people and killing them is not murder.

Once a baby is conceived it is not human until a certain point in pregnancy, it is a fetus.

I may agree with you on the rest of what you said expect for:

"and even just not wanting the child are more than enough of a reason to not have a child."

because that's just like saying I can kill someone because I don't want them to live, that's besides the point. The fact that you mentioned that once a baby is conceived it's not a human until a certain point is scientifically and biologically incorrect. It is stated by Dr. Kischer in his work, The Corruption of Science in Human Embryology, he states:

”Every human embryologist, worldwide, states that the life…  Read more

It's a womens choice on weather or not she should have the baby, some people can't afford to have a child or may have life altering disabilities that they don't wanna pass on to a child, and the foster care system is too messy

 @B9TYTVR from Florida  disagreed…5mos5MO

An abortion is not about killing a baby its about not bringing a child into hard like if the women was raped they shouldn't have to have the child, if the women has serious medical isssues they shouldn't have the baby and other things related to those topics

 @B9TTRN7 from Ohio  disagreed…5mos5MO

Not everyone’s situation is the same and we should trust the mother to know what is best for her at that point in her life

 @BD6MWR4  from Texas  agreed…2mos2MO

I believe abortion is murder, you should keep your legs closed if you don't want to deal with the consequences, But there are people who have been raped and in cases like those we should allow abortion.

 @BD6QSYV from Ohio  disagreed…2mos2MO

Any women should have the right to do what she pleases with her own body. A pregnancy is something a women should want in her own time if she plans on that life. Allowing her to have the option of abortion can help her in any case she may be living in. Some are too young to bear children, some are not planned and don't have the finances to care for the child, and even home life may not be fit to raise a child. A women's body should always be in her control and should be first priority before the fetus is too grown to be aborted.

Noticed that most casino sites don’t really reflect the situation in Poland, so I was looking for something more localized. Ended up on

Loading URL… and it feels more in line with what’s actually relevant for Polish users. The information is presented in a straightforward way, without too much fluff, which makes it easier to get a quick understanding. After going through a few sections, it seems like a useful reference point if you’re exploring online casino options in Poland.

 @BD6T8MR from Georgia  disagreed…2mos2MO

My body, my choice. Just like it is no one else's decision for me to have any other elective surgery, it is also not their decision to determine if anyone can have an abortion. If the child then goes into the foster care program there is a likelihood that they will be abused, moved from home to home, without healthcare, without support systems, etc. If a woman does not feel like she is capable of raising a child, she should not be forced to.

 @BD7KXCH from Rhode Island  disagreed…2mos2MO

Abortion is not murder in the case of terminating a fetus before it is able to deploy consciousness, and the health and well-being of the mother should be prioritized in every case. Also, bringing an unwanted child into today's society will very much cause more problems for that child later on in their life. Wanting to ban abortion except in the case of rape also creates issues, because then it becomes a problem when whoever is administering the treatment has to figure out or decide if it actually was the result of rape, and might lead to forcibly impregnated women not actually getting treatment based on the judgment of another.

 @BD7KGSF from Wisconsin  disagreed…2mos2MO

there's may reason why a woman even if she didn't get raped cannot keep the child, and it should be a personal decision if someone it's able to take care of not to a human being, it's not murdered if the "creature" in question doesn't have a brain or a nervous system

 @BD6LKW3  from South Carolina  agreed…2mos2MO

It is a living thing. It is an innocent child. It deserves a chance to live, just like us. Abortion is murder. If you don't want the kid, put him up for adoption, don't kill it.

 @BD6RBV5 from South Carolina  disagreed…2mos2MO

It is a fetus, NOT yet a living, breathing, and ABLE child---it is not murder. Having to force women to give birth to a child regardless of circumstances that could be life or death, or the result of rape, incest, and molestation is completely and utterly unfair and CRUEL---especially if it is a young girl or woman giving birth that does not have the necessities or chance to take care of a potential baby.

 @BC2W59B from Maine  commented…2mos2MO

I recently started going through a large binder of cards I hadn’t checked in a long time, and I underestimated how much time it would take to look up prices manually. Somewhere in the middle of that process I tried a pokemon card scanner app, and it really helped make things more efficient. Instead of constantly switching between tabs and searching each card, you can just scan and instantly see a value estimate, which makes sorting much faster. It’s especially useful when dealing with a lot of common cards where you just need a general idea. The accuracy isn’t perfect for every rare card, but it’s consistent enough to be helpful. Overall, it saves a lot of time and makes managing a collection feel much more organized and less stressful.

 @BD6QLS7 from Oregon  disagreed…2mos2MO

There are many cases in which the child and the mother would be unhealthy if the pregnancy were carried out, and in cases like rape and sexual violence, in which the child can be more harmed.

 @BD6RQFZ from Indiana  commented…2mos2MO

FOR example people who don't want the babies could go to extreme measures to end a pregnancy rember humans are stupid and will do anything to fix a problem

 @BD6RMHQProgressive from Tennessee  disagreed…2mos2MO

if everyone that does want a child is forced to give birth to children, more kids will gorw up in the system. 20% to 30% of children who age out of the fostercare system end up homless. on top of this, forcing someone to have a child they dont want risks the parent developing resentment for their children, and raises the chamces of that child being abused. on top of that, a fetus has no consiouness and therefore is not actually a "human life".

 @BD9VV5PDemocrat from North Dakota  disagreed…2mos2MO

People have many different reasons for abortion. It is not killing a human it is giving the mother the choice of whether she is prepared or wants to have a kid. The foster system is broken, many children go to homes where they are unwanted and often abused. As well as 20% of kids become homeless after aging out of the foster care system. A mother choosing her life over an unborn life is valid and is not murder.

 @BDP2SHC from Florida  disagreed…1mo1MO

But, the mother could put the child up for adoption. This way, the guilt is on nobody.

 @BDGZL2N  from Washington  agreed…1mo1MO

I stand on the pro-life side because I believe life begins before birth and should be protected. To me, an unborn baby is not just a political issue, but a human life that deserves a chance. I also believe women in hard situations need real help, not shame or pressure. Instead of making abortion feel like the only option, our communities and government should do more to support mothers through pregnancy, birth, and raising a child. My position is pro-life because I believe both lives matter, the mother and the unborn child.

 @BDH86NN from California  disagreed…1mo1MO

There are many reasons a woman should be allowed to terminate a pregnancy: rape, incest, various medical/health reasons, etc.
If a pregnancy is terminated before a certain term or time period, it is not “ending a life,” because at that point, there was no life to begin with.

In regards to abortion being made to feel like the “only option,” I don’t believe that is the case. While I do believe sex education needs to be mandated in schools and updated to more relevant, present-day standards, I also believe the vast majority are aware of other options of birth control…  Read more

 @BDH36YCDemocrat from Connecticut  disagreed…1mo1MO

A woman deserves the right to choose what happens to her own body. It doesn't matter what anyone else thinks. It is her body and her life. Life doesn't truly begin until birth. It a woman was raped and she doesn't want to subject herself or her child to a life knowing that connection, she should be able to choose. There is no reason a mother should have to listen to anyone else about her own body.

 @BDJMDJ8  from Nebraska  disagreed…1mo1MO

I stand on pro-choice. A baby's heart does not start to beat until 5-6 weeks into the pregnancy and although at a certain time it does become more than a fetus it is still gaining its 5 senses in and out of the womb. A baby after birth isn't even capable of thinking realistically. Although it sees and hears things its a natural response that happens after birth from humans and animals. Both lives should be protected yes, but if the caregiver is not in a right state and has decided she does not want the baby, then right then and there should the possible "mother to be" be…  Read more

 @BDH3G2N from Florida  disagreed…1mo1MO

While I agree there should be more support for pregnant women, women should be able to choose. What happens in the case of an etopic pregnancy. The options are for both the mother and baby to die or just the baby as in this situation the baby isn't viable anyway

 @BD8CJ72Republican  from Louisiana  agreed…2mos2MO

An embryo, which is a baby, starts living from the moment of conception. Why would we allow people to murder the life of an innocent child that has not been yet given the chance to live. Also, every baby is a gift from God, and we are to care for His children and murdering them is not right. Abortion is murder.

 @BD8F9C7Democrat  from Colorado  disagreed…2mos2MO

First of all, an embryo does not even develop a heartbeat until 5 weeks after conception, making it not technically living. Even after that fetus develops a heart beat it is living inside of a mother's body, with no way to see, hear, think, or breathe. On a legal standpoint, murder is considered ending the life of a a person. Keyword is person. By law, a fetus is NOT considered a person, because they have no personality development, no opinions, no way of knowing who they are therefore they are not missing out on anything. A baby should not be brought into this world, if they will not…  Read more

 @BDBM89X from Louisiana  disagreed…1mo1MO

Dang y'all liberals just don't get it do you? Let me ask you something that y'all like to dance around, if a pregnant woman is killed and the baby dies too, why is the killer charged with a double homicide hmmm? And its not even your body your killing, your taking a pill to kill a body inside of you, it's not harming you, it's harming the body inside of you, which is the baby. See y'all democrats and liberals only agree with this because you don't want to take on the responsibility of having a child, you make a mistake? You pay for it, end of story, murder is a mistake on morale, it's evil, so they should be put in jail.

 @B5HBY95 from Maine  commented…2mos2MO

Dogecoin can be fun, but the volatility makes me nervous sometimes. That is why I decided to convert doge to usdt after a recent price jump. The process was surprisingly straightforward. You pick Dogecoin as your send currency and Tether as what you receive. Then you enter your USDT wallet address on the correct network, review the fixed exchange rate, and send your DOGE deposit. Within about ten minutes, my stablecoins were safely in my wallet. No accounts, no KYC, and complete privacy throughout. Now I can sleep better knowing my profits are protected from sudden price drops.

 @BD8HQD4 from Texas  disagreed…2mos2MO

An embryo doesn’t develop a heartbeat from the base of conception. Everyone has different moral beliefs, and using God as a way to justify taking away healthcare for women in an already inherently patriarchal society only reinforces oppression, and mistreatment against women. Especially if the child was a result of sexual assault or rape.

 @BD8NVJW from Wisconsin  disagreed…2mos2MO

Abortion is not murder, the "baby" is not alive yet and more than likely have not developed organs or a brain yet. There are many reasons on why a person would have an abortion, and on top of that this belief shows the lack of care for the mother. No one has put up this much of a fight up for kids in adoption centers or those in foster care.

 @BDG2MW7 from Pennsylvania  disagreed…1mo1MO

Religion is separate from politics. They do not belong together. Using a mothers body as an incubator if she doesn’t consent is inhumane and disgusting. Legally murder is the unlawful malicious killing of another human being, a fetus being aborted is not malicious, or legally considered unlawful. 20% of pregnancy’s end in miscarriage. There are plenty life saving medical procedures that REQUIRE abortions.
Women are forced to give birth to stillborns despite the trauma it induces and literal children will be forced to carry and deliver their rapists babies.

 @B7X5TD4  from Illinois  agreed…8mos8MO

In the bible, it says that life begins at conception. This explains that killing someone is a crime, so abortion is murder.

 @B7XVYL4Democrat from Washington  disagreed…8mos8MO

What is and is not murder or moral should not be based on a religious text in a nation that is meant to keep the separation of church and state. Someone may view it as murder, but the policies should not be based on that. If everything with the potential to be a human, like a bundle of cells, were considered a life, then every girl who has had a period is a murderer, every sperm that has not fertilized an egg is murder.

 @B825KPN from Missouri  commented…8mos8MO

I also agree with this one, but the other one is more straight forward how I feel about abortion.

 @B7X7PBQ from Maryland  disagreed…8mos8MO

I believe you religious beliefs are a personal thing and should not be brought into politics. if you want to get an abortion, let her get an abortion. If you don't, that's okay. But if there is a girl who is in dire need for an abortion, she should be allowed to get an abortion.

 @B7XJ6K5 from Virginia  disagreed…8mos8MO

it should be your choice if you want to get rid of a kid instead of forcing someone to have it and then the parents can abusive or just give up the kid

 @B7X7VT2 from New York  disagreed…8mos8MO

Life begins at breath (which is whats actually stated in the bible)- fetuses don't have birth or death certificates, and we don't acknowledge them as we would a born baby. A person is not a person until it is fully formed, and abortion occurs earlier on in pregnancies otherwise its ineffective. When we have parents murdering their children, abortion is the lesser concern.

 @B9X8DF2  from Texas  agreed…5mos5MO

If find that its wrong to kill a life and end it all because you had an accident in bed and were not able to be responsible due to their sexual desire, its cruel in cases of rape or in cases when an underage women is defiled and never had a say or choice or any women for that matter it would be understandable for one to be pro choice. it truly depends on the circumstances

 @B9XRWNL from North Carolina  disagreed…4mos4MO

In most cases that are caused by "having an accident," that is hardly ever the reason for a woman to seek an abortion. Most of the time, women who seek abortions are choosing to prevent a group of cells from forming a human child because of a variety of valid reason, such as not being fit to become a parent, being financially unable to support a child, not living in a suitable and/or safe environment to raise a child, being physically and mentally unable to care/carry a child, etc... While there may be a case now and then that is the result of two people not being responsible, that…  Read more

 @B9XR843 from Texas  disagreed…4mos4MO

A woman should have the choice to have a baby or not no matter the circumstances, because there's a lot to go through and woman should be able to say what they want to do with their bodies.

 @B9YQL5C from Florida  disagreed…4mos4MO

A woman has the right to remove something from her body regardless of whether or not it will live or die, especially if to keep that thing alive, it will put her through pain and suffering. A woman is not required to give her vitals to any being.

 @B9XT69WDemocrat from Maryland  disagreed…4mos4MO

It is the women's choice whether or not she wants to have the baby. The women should have all right over what she wants done to her body as well as what she wants in her body or not.

 @B9VFKFP  from Texas  agreed…5mos5MO

Engaged Abortion

Abortion is murder and our country allowing and encouraging abortion is genoside. Life begins at conception, all lives are important. A baby who was conceived holds equal value to that of an elderly person on hospice . Both deserve to live. We should value all human life.

 @B9X4ZTP from California  disagreed…5mos5MO

If all deserve to live, then why do we not care about the millions of children who live in poverty today. Who live in the orphanages today, all of the kids living in the foster care system today? If you care about children so much, focus on the ones who are alive right now.

 @B9X7ZTF  from Texas  commented…5mos5MO

I also agree with this. By making abortion illegal, you are crowding foster homes with more children who are looking for a family. If you want to make abortion illegal, then you need to give more money and aid to the foster system or adopt more children.

 @B9WX7KP from Texas  disagreed…5mos5MO

Abortion is known to save lives. The child in the mother isn't considered a fetus until the 10 weeks mark, and before that it is just a clump of cells. Plus not all children were conceived voluntarily. Women get raped and sexually assaulted daily. Those are women who are now forced to have a child they never wanted and never consented to. And personally I would never want to be on hospice, it seems like hell.

 @B9WXDT3  from Florida  disagreed…5mos5MO

If the mother does not wish for the baby to have life, then they reserve the right to stop it before it is born. The mother's wishes override the "baby's." It is better to never start than it is to bring an unwanted baby into foster care or a potentially abusive family.

 @B9WWGVY  from Texas  disagreed…5mos5MO

If you were raped, would you want to keep the baby? And if yes, that's your choice. So why take that choice from others to do the opposite. Plus, what if it's a medical reason a woman has to abort. Women have died because it's illegal to in some places. And they suffered too. Unless you're the one paying for the child after it's born, providing food, shelter, etc., then you shouldn't have a say. I believe there should be a limit on the amount of abortions you can get at a certain point, but not to throw the whole thing out all together.

 @BD7B653  from Kansas  agreed…2mos2MO

It's insane how we allow the massacar of a million and a half babies in the hands of women reproductive health. You can't just discard them because there small or you didn't want it. No. That is a baby. Made in the image of God, deserving of protection.

 @BD7DB6W  from New York  disagreed…2mos2MO

Women who are victims of sexual abuse or rape that end up pregnant have should every right to have an abortion seeing as to they are victims of a horrible crime and in no way consented to anything sexual therefore taking no part in the process of becoming pregnant. Abortion in general should be a women's choice and not seen as murder as accidents can happen.

 @BD7F86Y from Oregon  disagreed…2mos2MO

I don't think it is anyone but the mom's choice, the baby would change her life and health. I also don't think religion is a part of this at all. The USA is built on religious freedom, and by trying to bring god in, this is saying that he is the law. But back to the mom, her life is also more important than the not-yet-born baby. If the baby is going to hurt the mom, the mom should be the priority.

 @BD7GCSNDemocrat from North Carolina  disagreed…2mos2MO

Not every woman is pregnant in their own will, and not everyone is ready or has the funds to raise a child. It is a woman’s choice to be a mother, and if they choose not to they should not be punished or judged for it

 @BD7C6H9Democrat from Florida  disagreed…2mos2MO

Once a baby is conceived, it is not human until a certain point in pregnancy; it is a fetus. There are many circumstances in which a woman should not be forced to have a child she does not want. Rape, incest, money trouble, health issues, and even just not wanting a child are more than enough reasons not to have a child. It is very inhumane and selfish to have an unwanted child; it is also selfish if you do not have the means to properly care for the child. If it is not your body, it is not your choice.

 @BB2JNKWRepublican from Virgin Islands  agreed…4mos4MO

I am pro-life, I believe that the aging population is a big problem, not only in the US, but in Europe as well. Each year, there are more abortions than the people who has died in world war 2. This will result in lack of work hand, and not to forget the 1.4 billion people who could have changed the world. It's extremely unethical to deprive a developing human organism of life, due to your incompetence. With everything said, I believe abortion should be allowed if pragnency threatens the life of the mother, there is a case of insest, rape or an extremely bad hereditary condition that is going to affect the life of the child to a greater extent.

 @BB2PCTT from Georgia  disagreed…4mos4MO

Abortion is a fundamental right that cannot be sacrificed to meet the state's economic or demographic needs. Critics argue that treating people as workforce producers devalues individual liberty, and that solving an aging population is more ethically achieved through increased immigration, automation, or supportive family policies rather than forced birth.

 @BB2LQB8  from Maryland  disagreed…4mos4MO

The choice to get an abortion doesn't affect anyone else at all except for the mother and father of the baby. Many babies are born every day, so someone getting an abortion will not affect society at all. It is not unethical to get an abortion since they are performed very early during pregnancy, before the fetus is viable. Whatever the cause is when someone gets an abortion, it doesn't matter to you, me, or anyone except for the mother who decides to get it. It was never that serious for everyone else to start caring about what someone does to their body, start focusing on bigger issues than women benefiting themselves.

 @BB2LJJT from Massachusetts  disagreed…4mos4MO

Everyone should have the choice to do what they want with their body. If they choose to have the child then they can. If they pick to not have one or if something bad happened to them then they should be able to do what is needed. Victims shouldn't be stuck with a baby or if they cant afford a kid then they both shouldn't suffer.

 @BB2LH49 from Ohio  disagreed…4mos4MO

I understand where this argument is coming from but just because you feel as if these aborted baby's could have done something important in the world or altogether the abortions could create a lack of jobs or employment doesn't give a good enough reason to be pro-life. No matter what it should be decided by the women because at the end of the day they might not be fit to be a parents or the situation could be because of a pregnancy that was accidental. Even if it was accidental and people feel as if the baby could go up for adoption, there is currently a line of approximately millions of unwanted children waiting to be adopted. This is why pro-choice makes more sense that pro-life.

 @BB6W2JN  from California  agreed…4mos4MO

i believe that a fetus is a child and should get a chance to live. Yes, the baby could have gotten there for reasons that are less than ideal; however, it is still the responsibility of that individual. i find it inhumane to abort/ kill an unborn child. If you didn't want the child, then adoption is ALWAYS an option and completely free; there are drop-off centers at every fire station and A&E that you can remain completely anonymous. But to kill a child is like taking someone off life support.

 @BB7CSH4 from Nevada  disagreed…4mos4MO

I disagree on your argument, I understand your frustration, however, at the end of the day it matters that a woman should get the choice of either keeping the child or not, it should not be up to the government to decided what to do with a women's body, the government won't be there in the middle of the night to soothe the child. The government won't deal with the pain the female has now have to deal with. I understand where your claim intertwines with your beliefs, but just making a woman/girl have the child is inconsiderate.

 @BB7N3F4 from Connecticut  commented…4mos4MO

i think women should have to carry out birth unless it puts themself in danger.

 @BB73X2M from North Carolina  disagreed…4mos4MO

It is inhumane to force a woman who has lived, gone through unique experiences, and contributed to society to carry a child that is forced upon her through incest, rape, or other "less than ideal" circumstances. It is not the responsibility of a victim of rape to carry the child, a constant reminder of that trauma, through their life or to suffer nine months through a forced pregnancy. The adoption system in America has around 7 to 9% of children who go through it suffer though some form of sexual abuse or mistreatment, leading the cycle further. That statistic is only the reported…  Read more

 @BB7LMQ2 from Minnesota  disagreed…4mos4MO

Abortion is sometimes the only way to save the mother of the child, and it is within every mothers right to decide how her body is, and if her wish is to not be pregnant or have a child that is her choice. Yes, losing a child is sad, but most abortions happen when the child is still a fetus. When that child has no personality or defining traits, and is simply cells.

 @BB6YPZ3 from California  disagreed…4mos4MO

I believe that the woman who is pregnant should have the right to make her own decision and not have a federal law to decide for her. If this child in question was conceived by means of rape, etc., or if the pregnancy would result in the death of the child or the mother the mother has the right to make this difficult decision. It is not up to some government official who is not in that position.

 @B83L5XD  from Minnesota  agreed…8mos8MO

Abortion is the murder of innocent children. If we don't allow the murder of a baby 1 day old, why should we a few months prior? Regardless of religious beliefs, it is completely immoral.

 @B83ST7KPeace and Freedom from Washington  disagreed…8mos8MO

I disagree. 99% of abortions are done before 21 weeks of pregnancy. The remaining 1% are for medical reasons. Meaning the mother could die in the process of the delivery. Abortion should also remain legalized because of instances like rape. Although rare compared to the majority of abortion cases, it is still seen in abortion cases.

 @B83SQVG from Virginia  disagreed…8mos8MO

The child would not survive outside of the womb. Forcing a women to go through a tramatic experience for a clump of cells is unethical. Women have the right to bodily autonomy. A one day old will.survive outside of the womb a 3 month in the womb fetus will not.

 @B5MBP7B  from MP  disagreed…7mos7MO

Engaged Abortion

"The child would not survive outside of the womb."

-> If so, can killing the brain death people, severely disabled people, and severely mentally ill people also justified?

 @B844XDG from Florida  disagreed…8mos8MO

Whether you like it or not, you are a mother now. There is a living being that relies on you. And you would kill it because of any "pain and suffering" it would put you through? As a mother, your duty is to your child. Even if it means laying your life down. Isn't a miscarriage seen as awful and unfortunate? So why is abortion, CHOOSING to kill the kid, seen as just a choice? It is not right.

 @B83R4WH from New York  disagreed…8mos8MO

Because a fetus is a clump of cells and isn't even alive. Plus I'd like prioritize the actual living human thats pregnant rather than the clump of cells that isn't even alive yet.

 @B84D983 from Maryland  disagreed…8mos8MO

It is not a viable baby or child until well into the third trimester. No one is being forced to have an abortion. If someone does not agree with it, that's fine, they don't have to have one, but every woman deserves to be able to choose and have the power to make decisions over her own body. A corpse should not have more bodily autonomy then women.

 @B99DYTNRepublican  from Indiana  agreed…5mos5MO

Abortion is a 50/50 decision men should have a say because they created the baby. You are not allowed to kill human life that is illegal and it's murder. I am pro life and every time there is baby that is formed it deserves to live. You wouldn't want your parents to abort you or kill you right now, it doesn't matter how old or what stage of life someone is in, everyone has the same rights. I hate when women say "oh it's my body my choice" bro I created this and we decided to have intercourse to create this, men have a say in this not just women. Even if raped or involved in incest you should go on with the process giving birth if you are passed the 6-8 week deadline, if you are before the deadline abort it but you have a chance never reproducing every again.

 @B99JP4F from Virginia  disagreed…5mos5MO

Ending a pregnancy does not automatically mean killing a living human being especially when there is not yet independent life. Women are the only people capable of carrying and giving birth, and they should never be forced to live by the choices, comfort, or beliefs of men or anyone else. No one else is that woman, and no one truly understands the realities of her life, her body, or her circumstances.

Yes, two people may have had intercourse, but if they are not ready emotionally, mentally, physically, or financially then they should not be forced into parenthood. A man should not feel entitle…  Read more

 @B99HLKP from Virginia  disagreed…5mos5MO

I believe that women DO have the choice since it’s THEIR body. Yes men had to help create it but they don’t have to go through 9 months of pregnancy and then labor and birth which can cause MAJOR health problems and even death in some cases. If a women is raped or involved with incest they DO have the right to abort and it’s wrong to keep them from that

 @B9FVRR3from Guam  disagreed…5mos5MO

Women are the ones carrying the child, not the man so no, he shouldn't have a say. If a women is raped, then why would she carry her rapists baby? She didn't ask for it, even if she had sex, it's always a gamble as birth control and condom's are never 100% effective. Having a child is a huge physical, mental and financial burden. If you can't afford to take care of yourself why would you have a child that you don't even want? It's a clump of cells and won't feel pain till at least 15 weeks while most abortions happen in the 1st trimester so 4 weeks. Even if the women can afford the kid, is in a stable relationship but doesn't want it, that is 100% her choice as it's a huge physical burden on her.

 @B99KBLX from California  disagreed…5mos5MO

The baby isn't growing in the man's body. Also, it is a clump of cells, not even a human. A man should never have a say in what a woman does with her body. Carrying a baby is physically demanding and giving birth could be a traumatic experience. All the man did was give sperm but he is doing nothing to contribute to the growth and birth of the baby. Doctors don't even allow super late abortions unless it's a lethal risk to the mother.

 @B8RML38Republican  from Pennsylvania  agreed…7mos7MO

I believe that after a certain point in the pregnancy, that embryo is now considered a life. No one should have the right to take that life away. If someone engages in an act that could result in the creation of a human then they should have to go through with the aftermath. In the special circumstances of rape or life or death of the mother for example then there is a solid case with that, but other than that, there should be no reason for anyone to be able to take the life of an unborn child you is not able to speak or advocate for themselves.

 @B8RSCQR from Texas  disagreed…7mos7MO

While I understand that at some point in pregnancy the baby is to developed for most to feel it is humaine to abort I personally think there is a lack of understanding on the typical person speaking an abortion. Most people who want an abortion do not have a stable income or living situation or have little compassion for children. I personally think that a unwanted child is better of not entering the world and facing the challenges they often do. When it comes to late term abortions they are not common and usually because of health threats to the mom or fetus.

 @B8RXV55 from Texas  commented…7mos7MO

Ultimately I believe that this is a decent option for the question. Abortion in a whole should be discussed between the two parents of said child. The ultimate decision is the person bearing the child. However, I don't think if the parents can care for the child and they waited until the last two terms should they abort. In the end whatever happens I think the two parents should only have the child if they can fully support it.

 @B8RSBRZ from Nevada  disagreed…7mos7MO

every woman should have the right to their own bodily autonomy. people make decisions about their own health and future. it allows for compassionate options in cases like rape, medical risk, assault, or situations where someone isn't able to carry the child to full term due to their bodies needs.

 @B8RSG3F  from Nevada  disagreed…7mos7MO

I believe that it is a woman's body therefore it should be her decision on what she wants to do with it. Not only is there a 2.9 million rate of how many children are orphaned each year but there are also children who are neglected in their own homes. There are not enough eligible parents out there willing to take on the responsibility of an adopted or fostered kid. Rather than focusing on an unborn fetus, we should be worrying about all the children and babies out there who need homes, health, or financial help.

 @B8VYY87 from California  disagreed…6mos6MO

Whether you believe an embryo at a certain amount of time is life or not you are petitioning to ban women's right to chose overall, they do not get special circumstances in this situation. States have already lost women to pregnancies because of health risks and the refusal to operate.

 @B869HNFRepublican  from Georgia  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.

 @B86HW2Z from Nevada  disagreed…8mos8MO

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.

 @B86FQYKDemocrat  from Florida  disagreed…8mos8MO

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.

 @B7BVN7Y  from Texas  agreed…9mos9MO

If you don't want a baby, then don't have sex, simple as that. Sex is not a requirement to survive. When you play certain games, you win certain prizes. The baby should not have to die due to the mother's poor decisions, for if a baby is killed in a stroller, it's murder, but if it's terminated in the womb, it's just normalized???

 @B7FKV87 from Virginia  disagreed…9mos9MO

Not every women chooses to have sex. Thousands, probably more, have been sexually assaulted by men and left with a pregnancy they don't want. So, in the logic of: "if you don't want a baby, then don't have sex", if you are against abortion, don't impregnate people that don't want to be impregnated. Onto the baby in the stroller argument. A baby in a stroller is WILDLY different then a fetus in the womb. The baby in the stroller has life, a growing conscience, and emotions. The fetus in the womb does not.

Onto the baby in the stroller argument. A baby in a stroller is WILDLY different then a fetus in the womb. The baby in the stroller has life, a growing conscience, and emotions. The fetus in the womb does not. It is a group of cells at most, none of which have a conscience or emotions. Cells die constantly. So, if you don't want to kill the group of cells you are claiming to be a whole baby, then you shouldn't clean yourself. Showers, brushing teeth, washing hands, etc. all kill cells. You can argue that those are two different things, but then again, you said a baby in the womb is the same as a baby in the stroller

Biology has literally told us that life starts at the moment of conception so when the sperm fertilized the egg, a new human being is formed and should be protected as for your argument on conscience and emotions what about pre natal babies? should they also be terminated? I mean technically it wasn't supposed to be on its own yet so why not end the suffering? because in true reality we know that taking another human beings life without their consent/choice is wrong. As for your whole arguement of cells on your body, given the same time as a child or not it will die out on its own regard…  Read more

 @B7JPT6JIndependent from Oklahoma  disagreed…9mos9MO

Sometimes people don't get a choice if they had sex in the first place. Espesially if that someone is a kid, a kid's body can' handle the mental and physical trauma from birth.

 @B7MKBVFPeace and Freedom from Illinois  disagreed…9mos9MO

I dont think thats how it works, yes some people are unprotected and if you dont want a baby definetliy be careful but there is instinsaces were sex is forced.

 @B7C9L6P from California  disagreed…9mos9MO

If it's the first 3 months, the "baby" would be just a fetus. Fetuses are not conscious, nor should it be anyone's business if the person decides to take the pregnancy off if it happens to be accidental or a result of rape.

 @B8RYP68  from Utah  agreed…7mos7MO

I feel like abortion should be illegal, and if they don't want the baby they shouldn't have to pay anything for the procedures to have one, and then once it is born then put it at the adoption center or an orphanage. I personally think its better than killing it.

 @B8SN982 from New Hampshire  disagreed…7mos7MO

Abortion should be legal because it should be the mother's right to choose what they do with the baby especially because of possible reasons of pregnancy like rape, etc. If the child is not born yet or well along it isn't considered killing it. This prevents a lot of cases of a lot of orphans, neglection, and abuse.

 @B8SGV84Democrat from Pennsylvania  disagreed…7mos7MO

Birth can be an excruciating and traumatizing process for many women. 9 months of torture to the mother, especially if she is carrying the fetus of an abuser or assaulter. Pregnancy is also an expensive thing for the woman, having to make multiple doctors appointments to make sure the fetus is healthy and pay for new clothes because her belongings don't fit anymore. Pregnancy can interrupt a job that the pregnant person may really need to work and doesn't have another form of support. Abortions are often used to remove a fetus that will either live with harsh, expensive, and sometim…  Read more
