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.

@9CCDFLZLibertarian 11mos11MO
Abortion actively violates the God given right to life. Only in circumstances of rape and incest should it be considered including if the mother or child is in danger. Never the less such liberty shouldn't be given on a whim.
@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.
@9RD9G6Z1yr1Y
Abortion beyond 20 weeks should be illegal in all circumstances. Sex education should be taught more aggressively and teach birth control, not abstinence.
@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.
@9GJ78992yrs2Y
pro-life but i approve in cases of rape, incest, or fanger to mother or child. im also pro-choice and think birth control should be provided
Pro Choice
I don't think it's right for the Government to enact laws on Abortions. Because there are times where women can't give birth, or they don't like the guy whom got them pregnant. Women should be allowed to control their pregnancy, without government interference.
@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.
@966YV8X3yrs3Y
I feel as though everyone should have that choice. Me personally I would never do it but it doesn’t mean I should decide for anyone else.
@95XHWNG3yrs3Y
I am Pro-life but there needs to be birth control, sex education, and social resources for people not planning on parenting. There also needs to be a safer alternative for abortions that store the infant or fetus and prevent the cis-woman from suffering from damage to her reproductive organ. Also not allow abortions during the pregnancy stage. There also needs to be birth control for cis-men as well, limiting the chances of abortion. Lastly not banning it, for women or are in danger of death from the infant.
@95WJ97D3yrs3Y
Pro-choice, but only if the mother and/or child's life seriously endangered
@95TB5NL3yrs3Y
i think that if you are stable and want a baby by all means you should be allowed to have one, and if you don't then you also have the choice to not have one and i think that is okay due to it being your own body and your life that a child will affect, and it is most that when you know you are not ready to have a baby and can afford the choice to not have one then you can do is, it is all up to the mother.
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
I'm pro-abortion. We should abort as many babies as possible, Abortion should be available until the child is 18 years old.
@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
@93X9MLS3yrs3Y
As a male I have no business speaking on this issue.
@93FPBJ93yrs3Y
Pro Choice because humans have the right to chose what happens to their body and more rules for the allowance of aboirtions/solutions for those who aren't allowed. not just a ban
@939NV5Z3yrs3Y
I don’t really have an option
@7CW8MXN3yrs3Y
Pro-life, but keep abortion legal, since making it illegal won't reduce how much it happens and will just make it more dangerous. Providing birth control, sex education, and more social services will help reduce the number of abortions
@7CW8MXN3yrs3Y
Pro-life, but keep abortion legal, since making it illegal won't reduce how much it happens. Providing birth control, sex education, and more social services instead will help reduce the number of abortions
@935285V3yrs3Y
The government is not to ban families and churches from determining to abort the fetus of an impregnated member.
@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.
@922LGGM3yrs3Y
It just depends on the person.
@8ZY5RBF3yrs3Y
really dont have a opinion on it
@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
@8YM6TXK4yrs4Y
@8YDS9Y84yrs4Y
Pro-choice, but they should use their choice to not abort
@8Y7XLCR4yrs4Y
If they are not stable enough to raise a baby and that’s the only choice they have.
@7CW8MXN4yrs4Y
Pro-choice; I don't entirely agree, but legalizing it is better than the dangerous alternative
@8XMQSLZ4yrs4Y
Pro-choice for others, Pro-life for myself
@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.
@8X7VBQ84yrs4Y
I am a male therefore I should not have a say, it isn't my body.
I believe it's all about the woman's choice. She is the one that is going through distinct pain and in majority of the time the one that raises the child.
Pro-choice for myself, Pro-life for others
@8WKV7874yrs4Y
Its whatever you think is better for you
@8WKB39Y4yrs4Y
Neither. I'm not a woman, so I feel like it's not my place.
@8W763BT4yrs4Y
Unless I am able to bear a child in my body, I have no opinion on this matter.
I feel like abortion is okay cause what if they can’t have the baby or some other stuff going on. Now they gotta have the baby which isn’t coo.
@8VKLDFN4yrs4Y
pro life but not allow case of rape incest and danger to mother
@8VF3X564yrs4Y
Pro- situation, if there is stable income the mother/family should take in/have the baby, if they are unable to and unstable or unwell then Pro-choice is viable.
@8V5Q6PQ4yrs4Y
I am pro choice for the fact of rape victims and mothers in danger. I do not think the government should even have say in any of this and they should not have the right to ban it.
@8TTDZG24yrs4Y
Abortion to me isn't the right this to do since it's a life involved but i believe it's a person choice on whether or not they want an abortion. Through Rap or not it's a person on choice, but me personally wouldn't never do that myself.
@8TGMXXR4yrs4Y
I believe it's your body your choice, if you feel that you can not provide for your baby they way it should be cared for and you don't want to bring another child in the world just to be put in the system and you want to abort your fetus, then by all means that is YOUR choice. The only time that I think it should be done on demand is if this is you 6th kid and all of your other children are addicted amphetamines or your children have fetal alcohol syndrome, and if all of your children are already in the system. I believe then yes your child should be aborted and you should not be aloud to have anymore children
@8TBKL5D4yrs4Y
Im pro life but dont agree the government has restrictions over your body
@8T94FGB4yrs4Y
I believe in the legal right to terminate pregnancy but believe they shouldn’t give up the blessing
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.
@8SYSCS94yrs4Y
I am AMAB so I do not think I should have an opinon on what AFAB people do with their bodies

I am pro-choice their body they choice but i think it should be banned after the 3rd trimester or when it becomes a full baby
@8RVTCVH4yrs4Y
The woman can do what she wants, it is her body and no-one else should have a say in what the woman in the situation wants to do.
@8RVBWCQ4yrs4Y
Pro-choice, and we should be teaching more sex education and not using just the heteronormative examples.
@8RTYQVCWomen’s Equality4yrs4Y
I think it is the woman's decision.
@8RT83SK4yrs4Y
I’m pro-life personally but pro-choice for others
@8RPS568Republican5yrs5Y
KILLING BABIES IS WRONG. God creates you in the womb. Abortion IS murder. And people know it.
@8RG8FNQ5yrs5Y
pro-abortion, all babies should be aborted
@8RFJ5V65yrs5Y
Pro education pro choice
@8R6CNCW5yrs5Y
Pro-Life from womb to tomb
@8R6BDN6Libertarian5yrs5Y
The government should have no say when it comes to another human beings body.
@8R2HLWF5yrs5Y
don’t agree with it but it’s hot in my control
I am pro life, but I feel that everyone has the right to chose what to do with their own body
@8QK3KH35yrs5Y
Let the Women decided if they want the abortion or not
@8PPKHP65yrs5Y
Pro-life, but women should be allowed to have an abortion if they want to
@8PP453P5yrs5Y
There should be no abortions, have the baby and put it up for adoptions.
@8PNQWQH5yrs5Y
As a man, my opinion on abortion doesn't matter because I am not the one getting the abortion, however I am pro choice as it is a woman's body and I believe that she should be able to do whatever she pleases with it because it doesn't affect me in the slightest. I think that there are certain times when the woman should contact the father and let him know that she plans on getting an abortion, however I do not believe the man should be able to prevent the woman from getting an abortion because it is his child. In the end it should always be the mother's choice and no one else should be able to make the decision for her.
no one should have contrull of abortion
@8PGNJ4V5yrs5Y
Pro-choice, but abortion is no longer accessible after the first trimester. Birth control, Plan-B's, and more extensive sex education could prevent the number of abortions.
@8PCHKF5Women’s Equality5yrs5Y
I am pro life but of women choose to do it I have nothing against it I just wouldn’t do it myself
@8P7QS6W5yrs5Y
abortion should only be legal if you were raped if you just did it unprotected then thats your fault you should never abort your baby.
@8P6TRK25yrs5Y
i support either decision although don't support the abortion of a baby but what is done Is done
@8P6SX775yrs5Y
The mother has the right to chose what she wants to do with her baby without the judgment of others because it is hard enough for her. Also, the government has no right to ban it.
@8P6QP5T5yrs5Y
Pro-Choice, teaching about sex education, birth control, and consent in schools will help decrease the need for abortions. Being pro-life is the same as anti-choice for all woman.
@8P4K3P75yrs5Y
Pro-life, but we don’t have control of what a woman does with her body. Neither does the government
Both. Pro-Life could apply to me when discussing abortion or otherwise, but I do not want to take the choice away from most people. but whether or not I like it, people can practice safe sex and other precautions to avoid wanting/needing an abortion in the first place.
@8NWXNWM5yrs5Y
Pro-life for myself but pro-choice for others. Providing birth control, sex education the correct way not by trying to scare kids that if they have sex before marriage they can get stds and so on like I was taught. Making birth control free for women is also needed.
Pro-choice. The government should not not get to decide what a women does to her OWN body. Provide birth control, educate people, and provide social services.
@8NR9S295yrs5Y
Pro choice I don’t agree with it on a personal level but the government should nit be involved with such a persona issue AND birth control, education and more social services should be available to support a he prevention of unwanted birth along With the support of those who chose to have them who don’t want their child or want them but cannot afford them alone
@8NB4MKP5yrs5Y
Pro putting the responsibility on men just as much as it is on women. Changing the conversation from pro life vs pro choice to something that is more sustainable and works toward actually decreasing the number of abortions in the United States. I don’t think an abortion ban will decrease that number it will just make them far less safe. Sex education, accessible and affordable birth control, social programs for parents with less means (so they have hope that they can provide for their child if they do have it), etc.
@8N9JTRH5yrs5Y
There should be rules to abortion. Only one where you don’t want the baby and you can only get more abortions if it’s rape or any harm to you or the child and etc.
@8N5K9LQWomen’s Equality5yrs5Y
I believe that abortion should not be your first choice when it comes to a pregnancy that you do not want, but I do believe that if its your body you should make up the choice and not get a consequence for it.
@8MZZJ825yrs5Y
Not my body, Not my choice. The government shouldn't be even considering the thought of banning abortion, it's not their choice nor their bodies. Abortion has helped many women during hard times.
Pro-choice I believe abortion is wrong and that it's murder but I still don't think we should control what a woman decides to do with their body
Pro-life, but allow rape, incest, or danger to mother or child and also providing birth control sex education. And more social services will help reduce the number of abortions
@8M5BBBP5yrs5Y
It is a women's body, they should be able to make their own choices about their own body, they are human like the rest of us and it is horrid that people don't think so.
i believe in pro circumstance
@8M2NGGH5yrs5Y
Pro-choice because it is not my body but if it were my body, my choice
@8LVHBJF5yrs5Y
I am pro-life, but I feel it should be made an exception in cases of rape, danger to the mother or child or incest. I also feel the government has no right to tell a women what to do and more should be provided regarding sex education, birth control and other social services.
@8LF4VCNWomen’s Equality5yrs5Y
I think that a woman has a right, it is her body, her choice. I believe the government has ZERO right to ban abortion.
@8LC8C375yrs5Y
Pro-choice for the first three months, with the exceptions of rape, incest, or danger
@8LBMLPM5yrs5Y
i fall in between i really cant go with one way.
@8L4KMKX5yrs5Y
Pro-choice no uterus no opinion.
@8L3C9DW5yrs5Y
Abortions should not be a choice because it is the same as murder so it should be illegal to do
@8KK55NK5yrs5Y
Pro-life but the government shouldn’t decide, and access to healthy care should be included in a pro-life stance.
@8JYYL5S5yrs5Y
Pro-Choice but we should also pump money into ectogenesis, contraception education, contraception availability, and encouraging the use of condoms.
Pro-choice. I wouldn't get an abortion but I can't decide for other people. Just like how men can't tell other men not to get vasectomies because it "takes away a life".
@8JKMKKY5yrs5Y
Pro-life, but all forms of birth control should be free to prevent abortions
@8J66HGF5yrs5Y
Pro choice but not after the 7th month
@8HW7HLR5yrs5Y
It should be completely ban because they don't give life therefore they shouldn't be taking it.
@8FYRMMH5yrs5Y
Keep abortion legal and safe and free or covered by insurance
