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.

No, and criminalize performing abortions.
@9F6VPJXConstitution2yrs2Y
This should not be a political/government issue
@9F4DZHBConstitution2yrs2Y
if you wind up in the situation that you are pregnant you should have to deal with it by having the child with the only exception being rape.
@9D9JT7TConstitution2yrs2Y
It's not for me. But I will not tell someone what to do with there body.
@9D5HJKRConstitution2yrs2Y
Pro life unless the mothers life is in danger, rape, incest etc. But the government SHOULD NOT BAN ANYTHING NOR SHOULD THEY HAVE THE POWER TO BAN SOMETHING
@9Y7YDSHConstitution11mos11MO
I think from a biblical standpoint, it should be banned for everyone except rape and sexual assault victoms.
@9XNXVLSConstitution11mos11MO
It’s the choice of the individual. They have to live with whatever decision they make. It’s between them and God.
@9X4VDL3Constitution11mos11MO
I am mostly pro life and it makes sense because the baby did nothing to deserve the death penalty. it is debatable of rape victims and incest, but some things that are considered a abortion are not. and that being apposed is unacceptable.
@9WZQD8NConstitution11mos11MO
pro life even if the baby was made from trauamama, the baby is still one of Gods angels and we cant get rid of the lords angels.
@9WNFT7LConstitution11mos11MO
Should be allowed up to three months, but requires admission from the mother that it is the ending of a human life.
@9WHBS36Constitution11mos11MO
Pro-life however I believe if their are health issues and victims of rape and incest should be given this choice.
@9VXVQBFConstitution11mos11MO
Pro-Choice, because the government should not regulate anyone with what they do with anyone's body. Abortion is an ethical subject, not a political one.
@9VPVMSBConstitution12mos12MO
Pro- life. Ban after 3 months. No Government funding. An abortion is an elective surgery and should be treated as such by a medical professional covered by medical insurance. Endangerment should be treated like a medical emergency. Abortion is not birth control. In cases of rape or incest or child pregnancy there are ways of preventing pregnancy. Make women feel safe to get these seeing how a lot of rapes go unreported
@9THY4Y2Constitution1yr1Y
there is a time period where I think it should be someones choice but after say about 5 mounths it is to late to abort the baby
@9T2XBFQConstitution1yr1Y
Pro-choice. only if its after the first 3 months, a rape case, incest, or danger to the mother and or baby. It should still provide birth control, sex education, and more social services.
@9SWHKPRConstitution 1yr1Y
I am an abolitionist. They should be completely banded and everyone involved should be charged with the various levels of murder, manslaughter, etc.
@9SN64HZConstitution1yr1Y
that if a female is raped or forced then she has a right but if she does intentally or on substances then she has to take care of the child
@9NSQJZNConstitution1yr1Y
Legal abortion but greater push for birth control. Only insurance coverage for abortion, no taxpayer subsidy.
@9MVX2DZConstitution1yr1Y
Women should have the right to have access to the proper healthcare to deal with their own personal health problems. Abortion is sometimes just as necessary as a medical procedure as amputation. The government should not limit the amount of healthcare its citizens have access too.
@9LZ38NDConstitution 1yr1Y
Give everybody one abortion, than no more unless in cases of rape, incest, or danger to the mother or child
@9LH3XDFConstitution1yr1Y
Abortion goes aginst the U.S. Constitution so either way it doesn't matter what my opinion is because one is your body and two banning it is aginst the Constitution..
@9KSNRNWConstitution2yrs2Y
Pro-choice, you choose to have sex so in those cases you shouldn't be allowed to have an abortions unless it's rape, complications or incest.
@9KLSRVWConstitution2yrs2Y
It should not be allowed you choice to make the decision and you should have to face the decision you made.
@9K6X35DConstitution2yrs2Y
Both, as long as it's for someone who was forced to conceive and not for someone who just uses it irresponsibly and repeatedly.
@RicardoDavisConstitution 2yrs2Y
Pro-personhood, all innocent human life should be protected from homicide from fertilization to natural death
@9JRR9Z5Constitution2yrs2Y
Pro-Choice, should have clearly stated restrictions. birth control, sex education, and more social services should be provided
@9J7PL9HConstitution2yrs2Y
Pro life, but allow in cases of rape, incest, if the mother/child would be in danger, or within the first 3 months.
@9J6V3ZKConstitution2yrs2Y
Pro-life, and I oppose all abortions, and financial aid and other aid should be available for victims of any kind of rape.
@9HWRHQJConstitution2yrs2Y
Pro-choice but states have the right to determine banning laws. The individual then can choose where they want to live.
@9HRPT66Constitution2yrs2Y
Pro-life, but allow in case of rape, incest or life of the mother. Also provide birth control, sex education and more social services to reduce the number of abortions
@9H9PW6KConstitution2yrs2Y
pro-life, but in cases of rape allow but other than that it is not the child's fault it was made so you shouldn't ruin a new life being made.
@9GWZW68Constitution2yrs2Y
Pro vasectomies…. reliable birth prevention, reversible, inexpensive, day surgery. No longer have to worry about unwanted births because men sleep around.
@9GMH9F9Constitution2yrs2Y
If a woman is raped they should have the right to an abortion, but they have to chose at the hospital
@9G2LZKKConstitution2yrs2Y
Pro-life except in the cases of incest or the endangerment of the mother. Because its not the fault of the child that they were born from a cruel father or mother
@9FZJQL8Constitution2yrs2Y
Mostly pro-life but there are circumstances that can sometimes get better from an operation, although every loss is bad
@9FQNDHRConstitution2yrs2Y
Every American, living and unborn, has a right to life, and abortions take that right away before a person has the opportunity to live. Abortion should be made illegal nationwide, in every state. However, no part of the U.S. Constitution mentions abortion, as such, abortion laws should be made at the state levels, whether to ban or protect abortion. The federal government has no authority to make laws pertaining to abortion
@9FJ2W22Constitution2yrs2Y
Abolish abortion in all cases except the unlikely risk to health of the mother
@9F7VXPRConstitution2yrs2Y
As a man, I don't feel I have a say
@9F79QS2Constitution2yrs2Y
Morally: pro-life. Politically: this is a state/local issue and the states should determine legality.
@9DXPBXHConstitution2yrs2Y
Government should regulate safety of those practicing medicine and all procedures should be dictated by the patient and their provider in all cases despite my personal beliefs of when life begins.
@9DXJ43LConstitution2yrs2Y
Pro-life, but I think it’s an debate won through education and culture, not legislation and bans.
@9DWT6M4Constitution 2yrs2Y
Pro life. However, if the life of the mother is in danger and the baby is more than likely going to die during birth then an abortion should be allowed to take place. Only in extreme cases.
@9DLHWGJConstitution2yrs2Y
Pro choice, but cap it at 16 weeks.
@9DK8JB3Constitution2yrs2Y
Pro-life, but allow abortions up to 15 weeks.as long as it's not fu ded by the federal government.
@9DJW2SGConstitution2yrs2Y
Pro life, except in cases where mothers life is at risk
@9DF8VN3Constitution2yrs2Y
Pro-life, only for rape/incest victims or if dangerous to mother within first 3 months
@9D5JMFQConstitution2yrs2Y
Not a federal issue. Delegated by states
@9D58ZBZConstitution2yrs2Y
ok for rape, incest, health risk and if men are also able to opt out of being responsible for the child too - men should also be able to choose to not have a child just like a woman can choose to not have a child
@9D4R66BConstitution2yrs2Y
Pro-Choice, But those who get abortions should be permanently sterilized to prevent any further pregnancies.
@974FPHYConstitution3yrs3Y
@8T7GQZYConstitution4yrs4Y
Pro Life allowance for rape and incest WITH counseling and advocacy for adoption
@9ZJG2M5Constitution10mos10MO
i think that it should be leagal because what if a girl gets raped and they cant get rid of it because abortion is illegal and the hospitla and the goverment have to track that person that had a baby and they would check if its still alvive and I think that abortion should be legal
@93W4LV6Constitution3yrs3Y
I don’t think the government should have a say in it either way
@9XMYDH3Constitution11mos11MO
People should already not choose to kill there baby but if its going to kill them or harm them in any way then they have the option though i still don't think they should do it.
@9BKWJHFConstitution2yrs2Y
Abortion Should Be Legal as long as I Don't Have to Pay for It, with State or Government Funding like Panned Parenthood.
@9B5BV9ZConstitution2yrs2Y
This should be the only choice: Pro life. Yes to morning after pill and first 30 days. Consideration for Rape and incest to 90 days. Consideration for life of the mother possibly later. Encourage adoption and private funding. Criminalize abortion after the point a child can be viable outside of the womb.
@9B33SMRConstitution2yrs2Y
Pro-life, but allow if the mother's life is in danger and there is not way to save the child.
@99YF5JBConstitution2yrs2Y
Stop laying around having sex. Keep ya legs closed.
@96Q3P4NConstitution3yrs3Y
Pro-choice, but with reasonable regulations
@96MCFWTConstitution3yrs3Y
No abortion is against the bible shoulden't be alowed at all.
@96LKSVKConstitution3yrs3Y
Pro-Choice but if a woman decides to have a child but the father doesn't want it, he shouldn't have to pay child support,
@96F8C38Constitution3yrs3Y
Pro-choice until the 282nd month
It is a State Right. Let each state set their own rules.
@96BRK9FConstitution3yrs3Y
Pro-life, but allow if there is significant threat of danger to the mother
@95YVQZBConstitution3yrs3Y
The 9th amendment states that powers not directly given to the federal government are either reserved to the states or the people. Therefore, abortion should be regulated by the states.
@95ZBC94Constitution3yrs3Y
You should never kill an unborn person. A mother can have a caesarean section if giving normal birth would kill or harm her. Also, you should not kill an unborn person when the pregnancy is because of incest or rape.
@95WQ72NConstitution3yrs3Y
People need to be able to make decisions on what’s best for them.
@95GZ473Constitution3yrs3Y
Equal protection, baby from conception, all people implicated in abortion should be criminally tried for murder
@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.
@9582YFKConstitution3yrs3Y
I am Pro innocent life, and it is up to the States
@954N4FMConstitution3yrs3Y
personally, I think that there should be a paper BOTH of the parents should be able to sign an abortion paper saying that if one of the parents doesn't sign the form the parent that didn't sign the form should take and care of the child if none of them sign the form the abortion doesn't go through either but if both parents sign the paper the abortion goes through
@954K856Constitution3yrs3Y
its the womans choice to if she wants the abortion
@94K5XMPConstitution3yrs3Y
pro-life except in medical emergency situations.
@949PWCCConstitution3yrs3Y
Pro life except for the cases of rape
@94846KRConstitution3yrs3Y
I believe there should be restrictions such as: only in cases of incest, rape, life of mother or child, plus it shouldn't be done after a certain amount of time based on the babies heartbeat & development, but I also believe that you have to live with your choices and we don't have the right to tell you and vice versa what to do with our bodies.
@9428DSBConstitution3yrs3Y
Pro choice. Let the states decide
@93XWPWWConstitution3yrs3Y
Pro-life, but we need to reform the definition of abortion so mothers needing early deliveries to save both lives need to be available.
@93M8NWKConstitution3yrs3Y
Pro-life, and I oppose abortion for victims of rape and incest but allow in extreme cases of life or death to the mother.
@93L7W2CConstitution3yrs3Y
Pro choice up until 6 weeks then allow for cases of medical need, rapez and incest
@92RWZ5CConstitution3yrs3Y
Pro-heart beat Bill, ones the doctor can hear a heart beat it's a human that's protected by the Constitution.
@92BH2GSConstitution3yrs3Y
Pro Life, Unless the mother can't have the child without passing away
@92BBYYMConstitution3yrs3Y
Irrelevant, many options on the market to prevent pregnancy
@929F9R6Constitution3yrs3Y
Pro-life, after the baby has it's own heartbeat or danger to the mother or child.
@8ZWF7FSConstitution3yrs3Y
Abortions should be required for those on financial assistance.
@8ZM7KRXConstitution4yrs4Y
no kill just put the baby for adoption
@8ZH6Q6MConstitution4yrs4Y
Pro choice but I don't think a woman should be able to get one without fathers consent. If man wants her to get abortion and she said no. He is financially responsible for the kid. But if she wants one and father wants kid she should be prohibited from the abortion and have to pay father for raising kid
@8ZH5YL5Constitution4yrs4Y
Pro-Choice, although there are already birth control, sex education, and social services and programs doesn't necessarily remove the likability for unexpected pregnancy to occur. Bringing in life is a huge responsibility, so we'd want to make sure it's done in the best and in the best conditions possible for both the parent and the child. Although, it should be considered to put limits on that choice; Such as, how many abortions you can get in a year, the conditions one must be in for an abortion at a certain term, etc.
@8YTBWC9Constitution4yrs4Y
depends on the circumstances of the pregnancy
@8YKB9Y2Constitution4yrs4Y
Keep federal government out of it
@8YHRDJXConstitution4yrs4Y
Pro-choice, but the father also gets a say in abortion.
@8Y3X8C8Constitution4yrs4Y
Pro-choice, but should be legislated at the state level instead of the federal level
@8Y3M44DConstitution4yrs4Y
i think first trimester is understandable but past that it is immoral and wrong i think the only thing that should be allowed after 1st trimester is if its medically threatening
@8Y2273TConstitution4yrs4Y
I am pro-choice because of society
@8XYD9CKConstitution4yrs4Y
Pro-Choice, the government has no right to make mandates over someone else’s body
@8XWQLHRConstitution4yrs4Y
If you make abortion illegal you have to strengthen the culture around marriage. Marriage and family unitd is what protects women, men and children as a group.
@8XW5Z6KConstitution4yrs4Y
Pro-choice because there are so many situations where it is okay to have an abortion that's based on what the mother thinks
@8XT2QZVConstitution4yrs4Y
Pro-life, but allow in cases of rape, incest, or danger to the mother or child and providing birth control, sex education, and more social services will help reduce the number of abortions
@8XFJXXVConstitution4yrs4Y
I do not agree with abortion I only agree. If the woman is not ready to have a baby or has been raped by someone
