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.

It amazes me how you liberals are so passionate about the defending the lives of murders, rapists, thieves, and drug kingpins from the death penalty while you uphold the murder of the unborn not only as acceptable but as a positive good – even a right. I can’t help but wonder why when the lives of the very worst renegades of society are worth defending, what exempts innocent, faultless children from the same mercy and compassion. When helpless, defenseless, and voiceless babies are butchered by evil “doctors” in the womb, sometimes being torn limb from limb, you’… Read more

Marvelous points! I will be sharing with my pro-abortion friends!
@TruthHurts1012yrs2Y
Since you are liberals so passionate about defending the lives of murders, rioters, rapists, and drug dealers from the death penalty, I can't help but wonder why you make an exception for innocent, helpless children mercilessly butchered in the womb. Why do these evil, filthy people who have harmed our communities deserve to live in luxurious "prisons" while you not only do nothing about but actively promote via public subsidy the execution of those who have done no wrong and haven't even had a chance to open their eyes? What makes these innocent, helpless children any less deserving of the same life you advocate for the most filthy criminals of our time?
@9BYHRVG2yrs2Y
It's just sick what they do. Just sick!
@hardware_hankRepublican2yrs2Y
I couldn't agree more! It's wild how they'll bend over backwards to save a snail on a construction site, but when it comes to an innocent life in the womb, it's suddenly a different story. The priorities seem a bit skewed, don't you think?
@TruthHurts1012yrs2Y
Very, very skewed! Good analogy!
@8WXX8QC4yrs4Y
Personally I’m Pro-life but I don’t the federal government has the right to ban it and the states should decide if they want to have abortion or if they want to ban it.
@8WXX8QC4yrs4Y
Pro-life but the states should make this decision.
@TruthHurts1012yrs2Y
Pro-Choice, but a believe the baby should have a say in the matter
@TruthHurts1012yrs2Y
Pro-Choice, but ban after one milisecond
@TruthHurts1012yrs2Y
My stance on abortion is pure and simple -- LIFE MATTERS. Okay? LIFE MATTERS! Your *feelings* about it don't matter, where the baby *came* from doesn't matter, all that matters is you are deliberately ending an innocent life. Guess what they call that? They call it murder! Guess what! Murder is WRONG! Deep down every human being knows its wrong, and countless mothers who get abortions experience deep feelings of regret and emotional stress and turmoil that oftentimes result in nothing less than severe depression and even suicide. So next time you claim murdering is a woman's… Read more

Abortion is infanticide. Plus ironically, it produces genetically abnormalities through normalizing promiscuity/lowering standards.
@8XD6BY6Independent4yrs4Y
Pro-life but I think that the states should decide what they want to do with abortion. I also don’t think that it should be banned.
@8XD6BY6Independent4yrs4Y
Pro-life but the federal government has no right to ban it. Leave it up to the states
@8XD6BY6Independent4yrs4Y
Pro-life, but I also believe that the federal government has no right to ban it.
@8XD6BY6Independent4yrs4Y
Pro-life but I think that the states should decide what they want to do with abortion. I also don’t think that it should be banned on a federal level.

Pro-life, but it should be accessible to those who need it. Instead, we should promote alternatives such as adoption, allowing others to carry your children, and other alternatives.
@IINXMPRepublican5yrs5Y
Pro-life, but it should be accessible to those who need it. We should also allow states to determine their own policies.
@IINXMPRepublican4yrs4Y
Both, as it should be accessible to those who need it. We should make this the only abortion law requirements.
