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!
@8TTL2MVIndependent 1yr1Y
Pro-life, but I allow in the first trimester with exceptions for rape, incest, or danger to the mother or child
@8TTL2MVIndependent 2yrs2Y
Pro-life, but it should be allowed within the first 16 weeks with extensions for rape, incest, and threat to the mother’s life
@8MJHXPHWomen’s Equality5yrs5Y
They shouldn’t have abortion
@9DB3QRF2yrs2Y
Both, ban after the first 4 months but allow longer in cases of rape, incest, mental deficiency of one or both parents, abusive parent or parents, or danger to the mother or child
@8TTL2MVIndependent2yrs2Y
Pro-life, but it should be allowed within the first 12 weeks with extensions for rape, incest, and threat to the mother’s life
@8TTL2MVIndependent2yrs2Y
Pro-life, but allow within the first 12 weeks with extensions for rape, incest, or danger to the mother or child
@8TTL2MVIndependent2yrs2Y
Pro-life, but allow within the first 20 weeks, and allow for rape, incest, or threat to the mothers life
@8TTL2MVIndependent2yrs2Y
Pro-Life, but allow in the first 26 weeks with exceptions in cases of rape, incest, or danger to the mother or child and providing sex education and more social services will help reduce the number of abortions
@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.
@92VRF523yrs3Y
I am extremely pro-life, but if we don't fix the foster care system I might change my stance. Because for those kids to go through the horrible foster care system is also wrong.
@8R45835Republican4yrs4Y
Pro-life, but allow before the first months
@8PB8WWC5yrs5Y
Pro-life, but allow in cases of rape, incest, or danger to the mother or child or under the age of 21
@8HXJ7D3Independent5yrs5Y
Pro-life, though if the mother or baby might die than that's an exception. I think we should also slowly move away from abortion, and take abortion funding and put it into things like better care for pregnant mothers, adoption agencies, birth control and better sex education. In terms of rape, the rapist (if proven to be guilty) should pay for healthcare cost of the pregnant woman and pay child support, if the mother chooses to keep the child rather than putting it up for adoption.
@B4FMLJC2mos2MO
All murder is wrong. However, I agree with my body my choice; it should be up to the child if it wants to die or not
@Rathomas710Republican6mos6MO
Killing children through the process of abortion wouldn't be the answer, the parent is solely responsible for raising the child and giving them a better life
@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

Pro-life, but allow within the first three months and in cases of rape, incest, or danger to the mother or child
