Abortion is a medical procedure resulting in the termination of a human pregnancy and death of a fetus. Abortion was banned in 30 states until the 1973 Supreme Court decision Roe v. Wade. The ruling made abortion legal in all 50 states but gave them regulatory powers over when abortions could be performed during a pregnancy. On June 24, 2022, the Supreme Court overruled Roe v. Wade in the case Dobbs v. Jackson. The court ruled that the substantive right to abortion was not “deeply rooted in this Nation’s history or tradition”, nor considered a right when the Due Process Clause was ratified in 1868.

Both. We should support reproduction rights! Men shouldn’t have a say. They can’t abort a baby! They have no consequences for having sex.
@9WYMP9QPeace and Freedom11mos11MO
I’m pro-life but I will allow in cases of rape, incest, or danger to the mother or child however I feel as if there needs to be more access to social services, adoption services, and sex eduction in schools.
I'm pro life, but I would like to support systems which help prevent abortion instead of banning such as improving foster care and adoption services etc.
Pro-choice, and allow it unrestricted completely. Also provide free birth control, sex education, and contraceptives.
@9WLH9GS11mos11MO
Instead of putting all the heat on the women. Have the man take responsibility for the baby if the women chose to have the baby or not
Safe, legal, and rare. True anti-abortion action needs to deal with the social conditions that make abortion prevalent
Pro-choice, however it depends on the socioeconomic status of the mother. If the person has the means to support the child and is not a victim of sexual assault, they should have the child.
@9VGBSQ912mos12MO
I think the government should have no control on whether or not you want to get an abortion or not. It's your choice and if you don't want to get an abortion, then that should be fine. Even if this is in the case of rape, or incest than that is still your choice. No one else has control of how you make your decisions but you. If your are not in the right place (mentally, emotionally, or financially), than you should either get an abortion or go ahead and plan for foster care/ adoption.
@9THT4M2Republican1yr1Y
I think that they should ban it because it should live even if it has to go through adoption or foster care. it will get better
@9QRVF6S1yr1Y
Pro-choice. Increase birth control, sex education, and social services will reduce the number of abortions. However, having more abortions is not necessarily a negative thing in and of itself.
@9ML264K 1yr1Y
I am Pro-Life, but who am I to impose my beliefs on another person when their beliefs are just as valuable as mine.
@9KNFWGM2yrs2Y
Pro-life, only if the child is going to come out healthy. The parents and child should not have to suffer through disability.
@9KBFFHFLibertarian2yrs2Y
As a man, this opinion shouldn’t have my thoughts taken into consideration. I do like the thoughts of better sex education, but as abortion does not affect me in anyway I should not be eligible for a vote
@9HWHP8PIndependent2yrs2Y
Pro-Choice because banning abortions will just force people to seek out ways of getting rid the baby that’s harmful to themselves.
@9H8PYQ62yrs2Y
I am Pro-choice as not only should it not be a law as it should be decided by each woman independently, but the government should have no control over women's bodies.
@9H234NQ2yrs2Y
we shouldn’t tell people how they should live their life. i live in my own world and things other people do don’t bother me and it shouldn’t bother anyone else if it’s not you or a family member.
I agree with the pro life choice when allowed when raped, incest, or danger to the mother of child but also pro choice by providing birth control, sex education, and more social services will help reduce the number of abortions.
@9GW48FV2yrs2Y
I'm in between pro life and. pro choice, while I think abortions are wrong, its also your choice and your body.
@9FXX5NZ2yrs2Y
I feel like it should be allowed if an accident happens but before doing it there should be documents to sign for it.
@9FBNP4L2yrs2Y
It doesnt matter only base on the women who going through the stuff
@9F9GMWW2yrs2Y
Only allow abortion if its gay
@9F48QLG2yrs2Y
Neither, It's whatever is right in the moment and there are more factors than just should the baby live or not.
@9DSTXQZ2yrs2Y
its not my choice, its the person who is carrying the child
@9DP9JZL2yrs2Y
there should be pills that increase abhortion to over 50%
@9DBTN2P2yrs2Y
I believe in having Abortions if you can't afford to have a child.
@8KY7ZV45yrs5Y
Pro-choice, and providing birth control, sex education, and more social services will help reduce the number of abortions and Pro-life, but allow in cases of rape, incest, or danger to the mother or child
@9CMKGKS2yrs2Y
Abortion is good before a heartbeat
@VulcanMan6 2yrs2Y
What is it about a heartbeat that changes that..?
@9BSGZMR2yrs2Y
Women should be able to choose. I don't necessarily agree with abortion but in case of rape, I would agree.
@9BBJP392yrs2Y
Pro choice but not after the first three months unless danger to mother or child... or something seriously wrong with child that would not give quality of life.
@96Z3B863yrs3Y
Pro-choice, only for cases in rape or incest
@96JGXS73yrs3Y
If you feel the need to do so then by all means do it! If you are being forced to do so and you the person in question is under age and lives with relatives and or family and they are advising you to do so then do it if you agree with them as such.
Depends on the state of the fetus.
@96CHDNT3yrs3Y
Pro life but up to a certain period of pregnancy such as limited to first trimester
@96BM757Libertarian3yrs3Y
I would not abort a baby but who am I to tell someone else what to do
@9694XLN3yrs3Y
Pro-Choice but if the user uses abortion as a form of birth control they are cut off/ there is records of when they use it and how often as well as provide sexual education and social services
@968T6MW3yrs3Y
Pro-choice, but ban after 10 weeks
@964H8NW3yrs3Y
Pro-life, but provide free birth control and condoms, sex education to help reduce the number of abortions
@95XJGBM3yrs3Y
Pro abortion, too many children, limit 1 per family if they can prove they are able to care fir the child. CPS and social workers are over worked and burnt out. It's not fair to allow a child into an abusive or heavily lacking home, especially if the systems built to handle that are putting them into similar situations or forced to prioritize other cases
@95MHWNY3yrs3Y
I don't agree with the murder of children
Pro choice but there should be a limit.
@95CBV363yrs3Y
Depends on the situation like if the mothers Heath is at risk, rape/assault and etc
@9582S8S3yrs3Y
It depends on the woman and her choices.
@9568KT2Women’s Equality3yrs3Y
I am for it until a servant week of pregnancy
@94VCC9CLibertarian3yrs3Y
Just give more financial support to pregnant people
@94SPCTZ3yrs3Y
If your beliefs don’t allow it, then don’t do it. If they do, then do what you need to do.
I'm pro-abortion. We should abort as many babies as possible, Abortion should be available until the child is 18 years old.
@94FMVFL3yrs3Y
Pro-Choice, I am against forcing people to give birth and am in favor of foster system reform.
@94FHHRTProgressive3yrs3Y
Pro-life, but significantly improved sex ed and access to pregnancy prevention, as well as make it easier to raise a child, from a financial perspective
@94CZR4N3yrs3Y
As long as both parents agree then sure.
@94CPXNZWomen’s Equality3yrs3Y
Pro-life but allow in cases of rape, incest, danger the the mother, financially unable to care for a child, and mentally incapable of raising a child
@94BWQ7G3yrs3Y
Doesn’t effect me so I shouldn’t have an opinion
@94BLV9H3yrs3Y
No one should do abortion it should be illegal because you’re practically killing a human being it does not matter if you are not ready you made the decision
@9486CQC3yrs3Y
I believe abortion should not be banned, regardless of the circumstance of the victim
@946JB8H3yrs3Y
Pro-choice but don’t use abortion as a form of birth control.
@93X9MLS3yrs3Y
As a male I have no business speaking on this issue.
@93W7HDJIndependent3yrs3Y
Pro- Choice in cases of rape and education and birth control should be provided and encouraged
@93T8FWR3yrs3Y
No one should have control over a female body but the lady.
@93SBFQK3yrs3Y
If someone is raped they should have a choice or option to keep or kill the baby
@93FNMK53yrs3Y
Pro choice until 22 weeks but also more education on sex and available services
@939NV5Z3yrs3Y
I don’t really have an option
@937PHVT3yrs3Y
I’m for whatever makes the mother or family feels safe. it’s their body.
@935285V3yrs3Y
The government is not to ban families and churches from determining to abort the fetus of an impregnated member.
@92XD8WB3yrs3Y
Pro-choice I don’t agree but the government has no right to ban it and providing birth control, sex education, and more social services will help reduce the number of abortions
Pro-life AND Pro-choice, as these labels are not antonyms. I would never want an abortion, but am not arrogant enough to force others to think like me. Your body, your choice, not mine!
@92HJ2T53yrs3Y
Pro-choice, and it should not be the governments choice of what a woman does with her body.
@92HDC8V3yrs3Y
After the first three months it should be banned unless there is complications. If it is a baby produced of rape, incest, or danger to the mother or child then abortion shouldn’t even be a question. I also do not believe that the government, mostly ran by men, shouldn’t tell a woman what to do with her body.
@92BZNGW3yrs3Y
Pro-life, but allow in cases were the child will suffer greatly with deformities upon birth or rape.
Pro-choice, and providing birth control, sex education, and more social services will help reduce the number of abortions but ban after 3 months.
@925RBTJIndependent3yrs3Y
Pro choice but ban after 10 weeks.
@9252RC33yrs3Y
I personally disagree completely with abortion, why should the poor child have to suffer just because the mother couldn't control her self, its a living being and it never asked to be brought into the world, although i do understand that those who get raped isn't there fault but its still a living being that doesn't deceiver that, if they don't want it then give it up for adoption.
@924LVQS3yrs3Y
I got no say in this tbh I'm male so there body their choice but if they consensually have sex then naw, but if its rape yeah
@923S5WF3yrs3Y
People should have the right and choice to choose to do an abortion or not, especially victims of rape and incest.
I believe that if you don't go through the pre-cautions of having safe intercourse, then you will be denied of having the right to and abortion. However, if it is a situation where it was out of your control, then you will have the right to an abortion.
@8ZMC7YR4yrs4Y
Personally, I am pro life only for myself, but I do think my choice could change depending on the circumstances. However, I am pro choice for others, their decisions for themselves does not involve my thoughts or opinion.
@8ZKCQKQ4yrs4Y
That abortion is wrong and it is murder no matter what.
@8ZD9T4W4yrs4Y
I’m in the middle so I agree on both sides
@8YWHQ224yrs4Y
Pro-choice, abortions should be safe and legal but rare.
i think babies should not be a mistake to someone its a gift cause your bringing a life in the wold
@8YSCMY74yrs4Y
if she was forced she has the right to choose if she knew what she was doing and didn’t use protection the she shouldn’t have an abortion
@8YHN5JW4yrs4Y
Pro-choice, I believe in abortions for incest and rape victims. I also encourage and believe in sex education, social services, birth control and the government should NOT have a say in anything.
@8Y4PY994yrs4Y
Abortion should be abolish
Pro choice. If the government cared so much about a child's life they would make an effort to improve the foster care system. A woman shouldn't have to carry the burden of trauma and have her life put at risk by carrying a child.
@8XXKWNW4yrs4Y
Yes, but it depends on the situation.
@8XWHW6H4yrs4Y
I think somebody should not be able to have a child if they are not physically mentally and financially capable of taking care of that child whether you wanna abortion or not is irrelevant if you can support the child is the real question can you love it can you take care of it and you have the thing forward to her house is going to affect you and the father
@8XMDSCQIndependent4yrs4Y
Pro-grace; it should not be banned since this does not address the issue, other options with therapy and help after the birth need to be provided
@8XJLLFL4yrs4Y
I’m pro life but I make an exception for rape, incest, or endangerment of the mother, I also believe that birth control should be provided, sex education, and more social services could help reduce the number of abortions.
@8XG652T4yrs4Y
yo estoy de acuerdo simple cuando los dos padres esten seguros y que no pase de los dos meses
@8XDBHXW4yrs4Y
Pro-life, but I believe the fault does not fall on women, more resources should be provided such as birth control, sex education, and far more social services in order to greatly reduce the number of abortions.
@8X7VF3CWomen’s Equality4yrs4Y
Pro-choice but personally don’t agree with abortion. The government shouldn’t have a choice on what women do with their bodies.
@8X7VBQ84yrs4Y
I am a male therefore I should not have a say, it isn't my body.
@8X2Q3LS4yrs4Y
I believe if the mother got pregnant on accident with protection or by rape then she should have the choice to have an abortion or not, but if the mother did not use protection and was consensual about the sexual activity then I am pro-life.
@8WRFTZPIndependent4yrs4Y
Every women tells their own individual story. I say let the women choose because it’s her body and it’s her choice of freedom.
@8WL2H3S4yrs4Y
we should be able to have the right to abort. Our bodies, our choices.
@8WKV7874yrs4Y
Its whatever you think is better for you
@8WHK3M24yrs4Y
Terrible, but only unless the woman, man, or both agree to it.
@8W9HMWC4yrs4Y
I feel that abortion counts should be stored under a universal system for all women in all 50 states. Pro choice for the first 2 abortion and then pro-life there after.
I don’t care the person that they killed is all on them I wouldn’t say that you can or can’t do that it just depends on the person with the baby
