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.

Pro-choice, but ban after the first trimester of pregnancy unless there is danger to the health of the mother or fetus
@9FWTQ62 9mos9MO
Let’s leave science and medicine to scientists and doctors. Not geriatric dementia patients riding on a government check with free, unlimited healthcare, and no financial or personal consequence for their decisions or actions.
@unknown81311 10mos10MO
Pro-Life, ban after the first three months, but allow for abortion prior to this period. Also providing birth control, sex education, and social services could help reduce the number of abortions.
@5QXSKLVRepublican 10mos10MO
I am pro-choice because I believe that women have the right to make decisions about their own bodies. However, beyond supporting the right to choose, it is essential to focus on comprehensive measures that can reduce the number of abortions overall. By providing accessible birth control options, ensuring thorough and factual sex education, and expanding social services that support families and individuals, we can create an environment where unintended pregnancies are less likely to occur. These proactive steps empower people with knowledge, resources, and support, promoting informed choices and better overall health outcomes for society. Ensuring comprehensive support systems helps individuals make decisions that are right for them, while also fostering healthier and more informed communities.

Pro choice, but ban abortions after fetal viability UNLESS the health of the mother or baby is in question. At the same time we need to have a nationwide standard for good sex ed, make contraceptives cheap and readily available, and remove unnecessary barriers to early abortion.
@9PTVYZ4 11mos11MO
Pro-choice
If you can't force someone to donate organs to save someone's life, then you can't force someone to use their body to create another life.
Pro-Life, but I do support providing birth control, sex education, and more social services to help single mothers eliminate the need for abortions.
@3JCDSRRLibertarian 1yr1Y
Moralistic I'm pro-life, I think life is too precious. Politically I don't think the government has the right to dictate what someone does medically with there body.
@84ZWD6LLibertarian 2yrs2Y
I am pro-choice but the government has no right to ban abortion. It should be left to insurance providers to cover it
Pro-choice, but ban after the 22nd week of pregnancy unless there is danger to the mother or fetus' health
@9HGZK7SCA Common Sense2yrs2Y
Pro-life, but allow in cases where the mother is in danger, rape, incest, or the mother and father are unable to or unwilling to an exceeding degree to provide for the child.
I pick neither. But there should definitely be more education involved in these situations or else things like will keep happening frequently. I also do immensely agree that the government has absolutely NO right whatsoever to ban abortion. That shouldn't be there choice. It should be the women who are going through it. As, how would a man know?
@9DMFVDS2yrs2Y
Pro-life, except in the case of rape, incest, or danger BUT the government should have no right to ban abortions or decide what people do with their own bodies, it should be up to the person who is carrying the child
@7KPWC575yrs5Y
Pro choice, but ban after the first eight weeks.
Pro-choice, but ban after the first three months or if there is danger to the health of the mother or fetus
@GuitarLord25Socialist3yrs3Y
Pro-choice, and providing birth control, sex education, and more social services will help reduce the number of abortions. It is also essential the we codify Roe v Wade to protect bodily liberty and autonomy.
@JonBSimConstitution3yrs3Y
Pro-life, and I also oppose abortion for victims of Rape and Incest, but allow in cases of Danger to the Mother.
The sex revolution has ended with joyless happiness, short-lived pleasure, reductionism of marriage, and objectification of sexes, to name a few.
You don't answer the evil of rape with the murder of the child.
The only legitimate reason for abortion is the life of the mother.
Elective abortion is simply murder out of convenience and an escape from the consequences of actions.
Pro-life, but both allowing in cases of rape, incest, or danger to the mother or child, as well as providing birth control, sex education, and more social services will help reduce the number of abortions
@92PYY623yrs3Y
Pro-choice but would not personally have an abortion
@84ZWD6LLibertarian4yrs4Y
Pro-Life, but abortion should be legal until the baby has a beating heart, with exceptions for danger to the mother or child.
Pro-life, through providing birth control, sex education, paid parental leave, and more social services which will help reduce the number of abortions. Social Services would include Medicare For All, Universal Pre-K, Free School Meals, etc. which would reduce economic hardship faced by those who choose to have a child. Also improving the Foster Care system for those who do not choose to keep their child.

@4XD28G7Independent4yrs4Y
Pro choice, but ban late term abortions unless there is a risk to the mother's health or there are extreme health complications that could severely inhibit the infant's quality of life. Also, continue to ensure that there are protections for any infant born alive after an abortion.
