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.

Forgive my crudeness, but, I can't help but point out that a huge portion of those who seek abortion are cowardly individuals seeking to avoid the consequences of not using protection during sex. Abortion something that doesn't seem as supportable when shown in that light, and it is the point of view of many pro-lifers. Like, if you can pay for an abortion surgery, you could've definitely payed for a pack of condoms.
Of course, this excludes those who have been sexually abused and/or are in danger of dying if they give birth, which only make up a very small part of people who abort.

Pro-life in my own personal life, but pro-choice when it comes to other peoples' decision. A ban after a certain time would be good, too.
@9LFCLS5Republican1yr1Y
pro-Life, pro-choice shouldn't even be an option it's the mother's fault that she got pregnant and it's here responsibility to at least give birth to the child. We shouldn't throw away a life just like that.
Allow in cases of rape, incest, danger to the mother and or child. Providing birth control, sex education, and more social services will help reduce the number of abortions.
@9JXB88RLibertarian2yrs2Y
Pro-Choice, ban after 3 months or a heart beat/brain waves are detected and also keep it in the states hands
@9J7XL2Q2yrs2Y
Pro-life, and heavily discourage but not outlaw in cases of rape, incest, or danger to mother or child.
@9HD784VIndependent2yrs2Y
Pro-life, but the constitution says that states have the right to make their laws and want to be allowed. The Federal government should not control it.
@9H6JJVC2yrs2Y
Pro-life, but the government cannot tell a woman what to do with her body, especially in cases of rape, incest, or danger to the mother or child
@9GWV8CH2yrs2Y
Pro-Choice, but support 15 week ban. Cannot take a woman's right away to make decisions about her body and we must all meet in the middle. Abortion is murder but is the right thing to do in rare cases.
@9GTDCZH 2yrs2Y
I believe it is taking a life after the first few months, especially after the first trimester. I also support providing birth control, sex ed, more education to ALL sexes, and more social services and less stigma for teen or surprise pregnancies.
@9GDY52L2yrs2Y
i feel like at the end of the day it’s the woman’s choice. however i don’t support abortion if both partners knew what they were doing. rape or incest is acceptable for abortion in my own personal opinion.
@9F8TCFJRepublican2yrs2Y
I dont have an opinion on either
@andrewkuyoth2yrs2Y
Pro-choice until a heartbeat; or if the child is putting the mother's health/life in serious danger.
@9DYKZ6C2yrs2Y
Only in exceptions of rape or incest or endanger to the mother
@9DYHZX62yrs2Y
I don't have much of an opinion on abortion, but when I do, I lean to the pro-life aspects when talking about rape, incest, or life of the mother or fetus
@9DPWP9J2yrs2Y
Pro-choice however I think it is understandable for cases of rape, incest, or if the mother is in harms way. However, it should be banned after 3 months
@9C9NX33Republican2yrs2Y
Pro-choice but no late term abortions, encourage and provide education for adoption, birth control and hold the father of the fetus/child responsible to some of the cost. Government should have no stake in the decision or cost.
@9BMWHV5Independent2yrs2Y
Pro-choice only in the early stages of pregnancy
@95KY6LHLibertarian3yrs3Y
Prolife, but only when the mother's and baby's life is at stake should abortion be legal.
@9463XN73yrs3Y
Pro life with exceptions in cases of rape, invest, or danger to mother or child. Providing social services
@92PBH663yrs3Y
Pro-life but ban after the first 3 months unless there is danger to the mother or child. The doctor should make the call. Now is the time to make birth control of all forms free to women and men in the US. The focus should be on education and prevention of unwanted pregnancies.
@8RQKS575yrs5Y
Pro-choice, I don’t agree but the government has no right to ban it, additionally I believe that above 3 months it should not be viable. I believe that abortion is being normalized and glorified and that's what bothers me more rather than the actual question of pro-choice or pro-life.
@8NQH2HP5yrs5Y
Pro-Life, with the heart beat or fetal pole being the point of protection.
@8N5QVG95yrs5Y
Pro life, except in cases where the mother is in danger
@jlaud035yrs5Y
Pro life, but only if the woman’s life is at risk or if she is a victim of rape can they get an abortion
@9BX8HMC2yrs2Y
My body is my choice, my life is my choice.
@9BW8KGJ2yrs2Y
Ban except for serious health conditions after 20 weeks
@98LKFDG3yrs3Y
Pro life but I don’t think that the government should have a part/say in the issue
@98L94H23yrs3Y
Highly pro-life but kind of at the same time I think the government should not have a say/part and the issues
@98KGWHC3yrs3Y
Pro life but it’s hard to accept that the government is forcing the woman to have the baby even though I do believe the fetus is alive in the womb.
@98J9PGBIndependent3yrs3Y
Pro life but at the same time I don’t think the government should have a say/part in this issue
@977VR6ZRepublican3yrs3Y
only women should have a say
