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.

i dont agree with this at all its pratically murder of a baby and i think the mother should go to jail for life for murder of an infant because if you dont want the baby dont have sex point blank its absoutley muder all day long!
@VulcanMan6 2yrs2Y
No one has the right to use your body without your consent, so if you don't want the child inside of you, violating your bodily autonomy, then you have every right to terminate it.
@989SLJPWomen’s Equality3yrs3Y
abortion is what is, and females shouldn't have to carry a baby for 9 months if they don't want to. the government has no right to ban abortion because of the simple fact what if their baby is a production of a rape or something in area. that can cause the mother not to be able to take care of the baby. Or the simple fact that they're just not ready for parent hood.
@9C5J4DRWomen’s Equality2yrs2Y
Women need the right to have abortions or save their babies from harm.
@TruthHurts1012yrs2Y
And saving their babies from harm means butchering them, eh? EH! Abortion is gruesome, like murder! IS MURDER! Killing it for health defects is remisceint of the Holocaust.

@9CGYQ8P2yrs2Y
Pro-choice, ban after the first three months, and provide more sex education and services towards reducing the number of unwanted pregnancies
@8MGRS3NWomen’s Equality5yrs5Y
both pro life and pro choice
@9ZFY8KKWomen’s Equality10mos10MO
if i can't adopt a child under 18, i shouldn't be able to have one and the government has no right to control my body.
@9ZCLR3HWomen’s Equality10mos10MO
It is killing a child and is so very wrong and is a terrible thing for the nurses and doctors to experience.
@9YLLLM8Women’s Equality11mos11MO
I think you should keep it because you chose to have it with someone, but if you had been raped then I think it is your choice whether you want to have an abortion or not.
@9YF2QKNWomen’s Equality11mos11MO
Pro choice . But i don't think a woman should be allowed to have an abortion if she refuses to use birth control and just gets abortion after abortion
@9Y9NBB6Women’s Equality11mos11MO
Depends on the situation, and if the baby already has a heartbeat then you are killing a human being.
@9Y88LZSWomen’s Equality11mos11MO
pro-choice, because I believe a woman as a victims should have a choice after what they went through, or what if the mother can't provide a healthy sounding for her child. and you can't just throw the child into a adoption center and expect the child to have a good life. but also, I believe the govt. should be providing birth control, and more sex education, to help reduce the numbers of abortions. but it's the woman body, it is her choice.
@9Y49M8WWomen’s Equality11mos11MO
I am Pro-Choice for no one should have a say in what a woman does with her body, its our basic human right to be able to do what we want with our body and it shouldn't be a decision of a MAN that works in the government.
@9XYT5Q3Women’s Equality11mos11MO
i think young girls should have a choice to have a baby or not because so girls are like bettween 10-20 years old get pregnant all the time.
@9XVPGTCWomen’s Equality11mos11MO
Pro-life, but allow in case of rape, incest, not being able to provide for the child, or danger to the mother or child
@9XKSKPL11mos11MO
I think it should be brought back so people who were raped don't have to worry about being caged by parental responsibilities.
@9XGYKJTWomen’s Equality11mos11MO
well I think abortion is good for people who don't want there kids like rape or more but that up to women
@9XGT3D8Women’s Equality11mos11MO
Pro-choice because if the woman who is having the child was either raped or other, and forced to have the rapist's child, then that can go wrong and the child who was born may have problems in later life with the parents.
@9XGJ45TWomen’s Equality11mos11MO
i dont support if its just you deciding not to have the baby, but i do support if you wheer raped, forced into it or cant afford the baby
@9XDXMXVWomen’s Equality11mos11MO
if you are sick and I mean badly sick you should have em or if you were pregnant because of someone you didn't want sure but if its for a stupid reason like your not ready or so on
@9X8ZYP4Women’s Equality11mos11MO
everyone deserves that choice, everyone situation is different it could ve life-threatening or it could be incredibly traumatic
@9X8NPC5Women’s Equality11mos11MO
I feel like abortion shouldnt be banned because if someone was HURT then they have to keep the baby if its banned. But its not there fault do it shouldn't be banned
@9X2ZDNLWomen’s Equality11mos11MO
Pro- Choice but in a instant where the person is continuously using abortion as for example a form of birth control they should not be allowed to
@9X28FG6Women’s Equality11mos11MO
I think if its your body you get to decide what you want to do with the little person growing inside of you. so I say we should have abortion rights.
@9X25ZVLWomen’s Equality11mos11MO
Let the woman decide, it’s her body. If you make her have the baby are you gonna pay for food, clothing, and everything the baby needs? If not them don’t say she has to have it
@9WZRDTSWomen’s Equality11mos11MO
Regardless of the circumstance it should be pro choice because you shouldn't have to raise a child you are not ready to have or that could harm you.
@9WPNDVWWomen’s Equality11mos11MO
Pro-choice, because I feel like if women are having a baby they want to take of with someone they love, then absolutely.
@9WJ7TD4Women’s Equality11mos11MO
Abortion is horrible, but sometimes a woman needs it to live, because sometimes both the baby and the mother could die. So i am neutral on abortion.
@9WJ48NVWomen’s Equality11mos11MO
People that's have been raped should be allowed or if they're under 18 nd can't take care of the child
@9WH847CWomen’s Equality11mos11MO
I think that abortion knowledge/sexual education should be more easily accessible, especially to teenagers. Teens are very uneducated, especially in that field. I believe everyone should start sexual education classes at the age of puberty.
@9WGXLS2Women’s Equality11mos11MO
Pro-choice, its a case by case situation, someone could have complications late in the pregnancy or they could be at risk with home life situations and it just wouldn't be safe for the mother or the child, I don't think that people should have a child and then just decide they don't want one anymore, but you can't stop someone from having an abortion when it genuinely isn't a safe or healthy environment for the child.
@9WFM9L2Women’s Equality11mos11MO
Pro-Choice, but believe that it should be allowed in cases of rape, incest, or danger to the mother or child and provide birth control, sex education, and more social services to help reduce the number of abortions.
@9WFG8GVWomen’s Equality 11mos11MO
Pro-choice, the government has no right to ban it on the federal or state level. It should be up to the mother to decide it is their life and body.
@9WD6XS3Women’s Equality11mos11MO
i think all mothers who are unready or unstable to become a mother should be allowed to abourt a child becuase that is there coose on whhat they want to do with there body and there baby and it should no be illigle after 10 week you shoul dbe able to whenever you want to get ride of the baby because what if you find out at 11 weeks and the cut off is 10 like wtf that is so stupid
@9W5TBJ8Women’s Equality11mos11MO
I think abortion is wrong and shouldn't be allowed after a certain amount of months when the fetus becomes a baby, parents should not wait until the fetus becomes a living baby and abort it.Victims of rape and incest should be served justice but not be able to abort the baby, they should put the baby up for adoption or find a loving family,and that goes for all parents that think about abortion.
@9VY6HQSWomen’s Equality11mos11MO
Abortion shouldn't be something that can be taken away it protects the women and men that have been raped or (women) who have gotten pregnant.
@9VXY566Women’s Equality11mos11MO
If someone needs to have an abortion then they should have the right to. because if they get raped then they would want to get an abortion or if you cant have kids then they need to have one to stay alive.
@9VTKDCBWomen’s Equality11mos11MO
its the woman body she can do whatever she wants to to the baby if she has a abortion that's okay I js hope that they talk to there significant others bc she might not want a child but her partner might
@9VSK6DTWomen’s Equality11mos11MO
i feel like women should be able to do what they want with there bodys because most places wont do abortions past a certain point so it isnt really killing a baby just a clump of sells
@9VN4Q7QWomen’s Equality12mos12MO
i feel that abortion is okay if the girl gets raped, but if a girl is just messing around and has sex and fully consented to having sex then thats her fault and shouldnt get a abortions becaues those are her acts and she should have to deal with them becaues then its going to be like a circle and there is no lesson taught their
@9VMGMNGWomen’s Equality12mos12MO
I believe that government should not be able to ban it, I might not believe in abortion but a woman's body is her choice, what she chooses to do has nothing to do with the government.
@9VFP798Women’s Equality12mos12MO
Pro-choice, I don't think the government should ban abortion, especially in cases of rape, incest, or danger of the mother or child. After three months, it should be banned and also, providing birth control, sex education, and more social services will help reduce the number of abortions.
@9VBY5DJWomen’s Equality12mos12MO
Pro-choice, with education about sex being given during puberty , lower cost of medicines such as plan b, care for those who go through abortion, and the right to walk into a clinic and not get mobbed and screamed at by people outside
@9V9Q8PYWomen’s Equality12mos12MO
People should be able to use abortion up until a month before birth. They had plenty of time to make a decision and after that it is just bad.
@9V8Q46SWomen’s Equality12mos12MO
I don't think that they should ban abortion they should let the person decided on rather if they want to aborted or not
@9V8MLYMWomen’s Equality12mos12MO
A female should be allowed to do whatever with their body and should receive no judgment for whatever choice they have decided to make
@9V4VKGQWomen’s Equality12mos12MO
I see both sides, especially as a woman but it's not more so both it's just women's personal preferences.
@9TZP965Women’s Equality12mos12MO
Pro-choice, but shouldn't be allowed after a certain amount of time & in cases of rape, incest, or danger
@9TX98TCWomen’s Equality12mos12MO
Im a bit of both I believe woman should have the right to be either as long as they don't abuse it I think there should be restrictions on abortions on how many u can have
I am pro-choice but I believe after 1 first trimester it shouldn't be allowed and also, I'm pro-life cause I believe it should ban for some people but its aloud to rape victims, incest or danger to the mother or child.
The baby didn’t choose to come into the world. In case it was caused by a rape it could be allowed because no baby has the fault of being born and then being abandoned or having a problem, the baby has no fault of anything, and in case of being caused by irresponsible parents, then no.
I feel if you did something with no protection or contraceptives you knew the risk, but ultimately it's your choice. I also feel there should be a limit to how many you can have. And of course abortion for incest, rape, endangerment etc.
i’m in the middle.if u we’re sa then abortion is not a bad idea but if you knew what you are doing and what you got into then abrotiom is not for u
I think if you are raped and get pregnant you should be able to and if you are like young and get pregnant you should be able to
I think the only time abortion should be allowed is if you were raped but if your a grown adult who chose to have sex but want to give the baby up I think that they should only let them put it up for adoption because people who cant have babies could adopt and make it there own.
Both and neither. People should be allowed to abort the babies in cases of rape, incest, or dangers to the mother or/and child but they should also get sex education and birth controls to help reduce the number of abortions.
i think after a certain point in a pregnancy abortion should not be the option but they should look into options such as adoption
@9SJWRNJ1yr1Y
Pro-choice, but ban after the fetus is viable (20-24ish weeks) except in instances of danger to the mother's life. Also provide birth control, sex education, and more social services to help reduce the number of abortions.
I think abortions should be women’s choices, for reasons as they were tapped and got pregnant or they aren’t fit to be a mother or they just don’t want a kid.
Pro-life, but allow in cases of danger for the mother or child and let the mother make the decision.
It’s your body and your choice to choose to do something like that. If you get raped and you don’t want the baby you can get rid of it.
I don't necessarily agree with abortion since that's a developing life, but at the same time-- it is their choice on what they want best for themselves and their child. But, abortion would be necessary for those who are victims to rape or incest.
Pro-choice but there should be limitations to abortions and how far you should be to be able to get an abortion. There should also be more help with sex education, and more sources to help lower the amounts of abortions that there are, along with adoption processes too, because having that option can also help. Along with the possible risks to mother or child or rape or incest. There should be an option to what they want but as-long as their going in the right direction to do so and not doing the wrong thing.
Pro-choice, and provide easier access to birth control and sex education to help avoid excess abortion as a form of birth control.
I agree with abortion to an extent like if you are raped or if being pregnant is harming you. but always be safe.
Pro-Choice, there are times when without an abortion, the mother could die, and there's also cases where you need to get for things completely unrelated to pregnancy, but I do not agree with using abortion as a form of birth control.
I am pro-choice only until people are just being careless. If there was never a plan due to incest, rape, etc., there should be abortion rights.
You should have every right to determine whether you want a child or not because if you're rape why would women want to remember her Childs father as a rapitest.
Abortion shouldn't be banned because women should have their own choices on how their future will be or be without a baby.
Personally, I don't think any woman should have to go through that, mainly because when you get an abortion, you have to kill your child, and no woman should have to kill their kid, so i dont like the idea that women can even have an abortion in the first place.
Pro-choice; after the heart is formed I believe it shouldn't happen. However, if it affects the danger to the mother then yes you may abort; or if the mother is a victim of rape and incest and was afraid/couldn't come out.
pro-choice, the pregnant person should be allowed to do whatever they want to do with the baby until it is born.
I believe it should be an option for people that's abused, raped and incest cases but I still stand more on pro-life.
pro-choice, banned after the first three months and also provide birth control, sex education, and more social services to help reduce the amount of abortions
Pro life but in cases such as rape, or danger to the mother or child I believe it is the persons choice at the end of the day and the government should do a better job at helping with birth control, sex ed, and more social services that will reduce the number of abortions
If you are a teen who can’t afford it and is under the age of 18 you should be allowed to have an abortion
@9KS8FM9Women’s Equality2yrs2Y
I feel that it is bad but if you just want to harm the kid because of an disease that's wrong but if its for if you got raped or anything along those lines then that's a different story.
@9KRZCW5Women’s Equality2yrs2Y
whoever wants to have one because she isn't ready or she was SA'd or raped, may have the right to have one.
@9KPR9VVWomen’s Equality2yrs2Y
i dont think the goverment should ban it in cases like women forced to do things and dont want the child but i dont agree with it
@9KNHSQRWomen’s Equality2yrs2Y
Honestly, I don't think it would be fair to have an abortion if you went out and did things and accidently got pregnant. That's entirely your fault, but if it was something for rape, incest, or danger to mother/child, then I think you gotta do what you gotta do.
@9KDY4NDWomen’s Equality2yrs2Y
No abortion should not be a thing because they could either keep the baby or give it to a foster home because the baby should deserve to live
@9K39R2GWomen’s Equality2yrs2Y
I am pro-choice, however I feel that there should be a limit to abortions, every 5-10 years. So that people just don't take them for granted. Rape victims should be allowed to get rid of a child that will forever haunt them of that same memory. Especially with the law/government already not taking them(rape victims) seriously.
@9JYW7GZWomen’s Equality2yrs2Y
pro-both. PROBOTH whats the point of adding laws to whether the mother can willingly have a baby or not
@9JWN3GCWomen’s Equality2yrs2Y
People should have a choice if they want an abortion and if they want one people shouldn't get mad at them
@9JVVHX4Women’s Equality2yrs2Y
i am for abortions because a lot of people in this world doesn't deserve kids and its better to get rid of them now then just hurting them later on.
@9JTFQZZWomen’s Equality2yrs2Y
I say girls who are victims of rape have the decision whether to keep the baby or not, you are not financially stable also but if they were irresponsible then that's on them for not being responsible.
@9JM7DKVWomen’s Equality2yrs2Y
Women should have the right to decide what they want to do with there body especially if it was a cause of a rape or something bigger.
@9JK624QWomen’s Equality2yrs2Y
i dont think people should get it if they decided to do the actions of getting pregnant but if you dont have the money or have been raped abortion is always an option but i think a baby is a gift
@9JD7SFMWomen’s Equality2yrs2Y
I believe that you have the rights to your own body and that no know should dictate what you do but personally I believe that abortion shouldn’t be used as a “birth control” but as needed like if you were raped or if you are likely to die if you are having a bad pregnancy.
@9JCD336Women’s Equality2yrs2Y
Abortion should be legal, its the choice of the person with the child and shouldn't be made by the goverment.
@9J82NVZWomen’s Equality2yrs2Y
Any female should be able to pick what she wants to do with her body why force a female to make a decision she doesn’t want the government has no right to force a woman to have a baby
@9J7FZWJWomen’s Equality2yrs2Y
I believe that the government has no right to ban abortion, it's the person's body, there should be education to reduce abortions and after 3 months it should not be offered to the person.
@9J674F2Women’s Equality2yrs2Y
I lean more toward pro-choice, but that the government could put some restrictions on it but to completely take it away altogether. Like, if the mother was raped, abused, in danger of dying or losing her child, or it was incest then she should have the option of abortion!
@9J4XM8JWomen’s Equality2yrs2Y
I believe that it depends on the situation to want to do abortion, like if you were sexually assaulted or forced then yes but other than that i feel like if you concentuilly had one then its yours. Or if the baby is killing you then it should be able to be aborted.
@9J384DKWomen’s Equality2yrs2Y
I don't believe abortion is right, but I also believe the only one who should make that decision is the woman herself.
@9HJD83VWomen’s Equality2yrs2Y
I think that they should be able to get abortions if they got raped or have some other issue, but if they are just going around getting pregnant every week/month and using abortion as birth control then I dont support that
@9HHGR4DWomen’s Equality2yrs2Y
I am 100% against abortion, I would never personally do it. I also believe anyone has the right to get an abortion if that's really what they feel they need to do. Even in cases of rape, incest, etc...I would never abort my child.
