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.

@97CC9VT3yrs3Y
Abortions in any and all cases should be legal, as long as it is conducted before the 8 month mark.
@95N3W6TWomen’s Equality3yrs3Y
Pro-choice but victims of rape and incest should have the choice on what they want to do.
@95LVSD5Independence3yrs3Y
Pro-choice. Not your child, not your choice. Why do you care so much? NOBODY should have a choice in the abortion besides the parents.
Pro-life AND Pro-choice, as these labels are not antonyms. I would never want an abortion, but am not arrogant enough to force others to think like me. Your body, your choice, not mine!
@925KGVR3yrs3Y
Pro choice, but instead of it being just a choice for the woman, it's also a choice for the man, if he want this baby, or if the woman want the baby.
@8ZZZCQ53yrs3Y
it's stupid and shouldn't be allowed, it was their fault for not doing safe sex and should deal with their consequences
@8ZSQDK83yrs3Y
I don’t like abortion, and it should be discouraged. We need more education, planning, and adoption/foster care infrastructure. No late term abortion unless rape, incest, threat to mothers life.
@8YWHQ224yrs4Y
Pro-choice, abortions should be safe and legal but rare.
@8YVRRZT4yrs4Y
Pro-life isn't excatly the opposide of Pro-choice
@8YHN84H4yrs4Y
hell no, if you are thinking about abortion you are crazy you are murdering a living thing that can not do anything to defend itself. it should be illegal
@8YB9RRZ4yrs4Y
Limitations on abortions based on gestational age of the fetus
@8Y78HTBIndependent4yrs4Y
Combo of these two: Pro-choice, I don’t agree but the government has no right to ban it Pro-choice, and providing birth control, sex education, and more social services will help reduce the number of abortions
@8XYYLH94yrs4Y
Pro-life, but allow in cases of rape, incest, or danger to the mother or child but government should not ban or get involved.
People abort their children because they know that they are not in the right situation to properly take care of them. there are plenty of children whose parents have died or given them up that those who want a child can go and adopt.
@8XWKNHHIndependent4yrs4Y
Pro-Life, but it should be left up to the states
@8WHSSM84yrs4Y
Go after third-party factors that affect high rates of abortion, such as financial insecurity, the adoption system, and birth control. Parents planning to abort should also go through a "path to abortion" which lays out all alternative options and offers potential financial remedying from the government.
your killing a baby its dumb asf
@8V56PLYIndependent4yrs4Y
Pro Choice Until End Of 1st Trimester
@8V4C3Z44yrs4Y
Depends on what religion you are e.g Christianity is pro-life, Athiests can choose.
@8TZSBPTIndependent4yrs4Y
for me personally i wouldn't do it but if any close family members or anyone around me does i wouldn't judge.
@8TYHG5DIndependent4yrs4Y
Pro-choice, I don't agree with how many people are normalizing and glorifying it as its some type of birth control, but it's their rights. There should be more sex education provided.
@8TCKBXQ4yrs4Y
Pro-Life, but in cases of rape or incest allow it during a short 3 week period.
@8SQDS55Independent4yrs4Y
Pro choice but if you find a heartbeat you can’t have one
@8SM75WG4yrs4Y
Pro Choice by default, but as a male I believe this is an issue that women should decide. That said if a majority of women decided on a Pro-Life national legislation I would support that.
@8S6S7KPIndependent4yrs4Y
Pro-life, but allow in cases of rape, incest, or danger to the mother or child or if the mother and father can't provide a good quality of life for the child.
@8S6NN7B4yrs4Y
Pro-choice, but think there should be more education on contraceptions/birth control. I feel it's wrong to get abortions unless you couldn't control the situation (rape, incest, etc.). I think more kids should have a chance at life/being born
Pro-life, but allow in cases of rape, incest, danger to mother or child, and provide more birth control, sex education, and social services
@8CGQ5KV5yrs5Y
I am a man so my opinion doesn't matter!
@8PVTGR25yrs5Y
Some subjects are not for the federal goverment to legislate. This should be left up to local governments.
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.
@9993PN7Progressive3yrs3Y
Pro choice, and providing birth control, sex education, as well as other social services will help to reduce the number of abortions, and abortion is a medical procedure and there for should be kept private between the health care provider and the patient the government should have no say in it.
@97CTF2B3yrs3Y
I am pro life for myself. However it is absolutely unethical nor is it my place to tell someone else what they can or cannot do to their body or baby. Especially a victim of rape or incest.
@976SKCW3yrs3Y
Pro-choice until the point of viability, and providing birth control, sex education, and more social services will help reduce the number of abortions
@96ZGSZMLibertarian3yrs3Y
Better education is needed.
@92KCZ783yrs3Y
Pro-choice, and providing birth control, sex education, and more social services will help reduce the number of abortions, but banning it after first three and a half months.
@8QWZWTB5yrs5Y
Pro-choice, ban after the first three months and provide alternatives for women, along President Clinton's "safe, legal, and rare" maxim.
@8S4VH5F4yrs4Y
Pro-life, but I support abortions being legal and that it is up to you, your doctor, and your faith.
Pro-life, but i don't think the government has the right to regulate abortion
@8W3HLTW4yrs4Y
i think its not good but i is also is kida good becuse if you were raped and dont want the chiled it could be the last opchion
