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.

Abortion should be illegal if you get pregnet then set the cild up for adoption don't kill it that is taking someones life witch is one of the biggest sins bloodshed.
@VulcanMan6 2yrs2Y
The child has no right to use your body against your consent in the first place. If you don't want it there anymore then you have every right to get rid of it, by any means necessary.
@9G9FM6V2yrs2Y
It is an actual human who might change the world and if you kill the baby you are killing a human and if you don't do it right then it can be called a murder.
@VulcanMan6 2yrs2Y
It's called bodily autonomy...
@8V2ZXVW4yrs4Y
I do not agree with abortion becuase of my religion and what my religious book states, but the government should not control what people do with their bodies because not everyone falls under the same religion or religious practices.
@B2JRMDK8mos8MO
Pro-choice:
- rape (if a woman is raped, they should have a right to an abortion.)
- incest (if a woman is incested, they should have a right to an abortion.)
- incest and danger to mother or child (an abortion can be allowed all three trimesters, this is critical)
but also:
provide birth control
provide sex education
provide social services and increase police spending to help reduce number of abortions.
@9D73CHT2yrs2Y
I am Pro-Life however, I believe that in case of rape, incest, or danger to the mother or child i also believe that we should provide better birth control, sex education, and more social services to reduce the number of abortions
@Equ4l1tyMatt2yrs2Y
do you think Planned Parenthood does a good job proving those services?
@8MPKGXW5yrs5Y
@8DDJQQB5yrs5Y
Pro-life, but allow in cases of danger to the mother or child within the first 3 months.
@B72MHR91wk1W
I am pro-life, except for the cases of rape, incest, or danger to the mother or child. I am pro-choice except after the fetus has a viable heartbeat. I am both of these, but there should be proper sex education, proper birth control for men and women, and an improved foster care system
@B72MCJKConstitution1wk1W
In my opinion, I am stuck between the two, I think if both party's were willing to have sexual intercourse then they should step up and have the baby. I also think that is any one been in cases such as rape, incest, danger , or told that one party wants to get rid of the baby and not help them then they should have a choice to do so.
@B72M2TH1wk1W
It's your choice, your own body; nobody should tell you to do something you don't want to do. If you wanna keep the baby, you can; if you don't, then you don't. They shouldn't ban abortions.
@B6YW6LN1wk1W
Pro-life but ONLY with providing birth control, plan b, social services, sex education, rape kits, and medical exceptions
@B6TJ6JB2wks2W
Pro-life, and provide needs for both the mother and child including paid family leave, crack down on corruption in adoption agencies, etc.
@B6TCHG72wks2W
Abortions shouldn't be ban since it is health care for women who don't want kids or who was raped/under age.
@B6S5GJQ3wks3W
You can do it only up to 12 weeks when the fetus is not fully developed because it doesn't feel pain but when its developed i think it should be illegal because it will cause pain to the baby. It should not be used as a form of birth control.
@B6R5CFX3wks3W
Pro-choice while banning after three months BUT plan b,birth control, and condoms should be cheaper and more available. Governments should not have a choice in what the women says
@B6R3VJ73wks3W
Pro-choice, along with increased contraceptive and sex education, with a cut off at a certain stage of development in the pregnancy
@B6QY3GM3wks3W
I do not agree with abortion and I never will. No one should have the right to be able to kill an alive baby.
@B6QVXC23wks3W
I believe this is your choice and what's best for you but don't make a decision based on what others say because it's your life is not theirs.
@B6QVQDNRepublican3wks3W
I feel like you should have a choice because what if you get kidnapped at a young age and can't raise a child
@B6P52Z34wks4W
Against it for religious reasons, but i also don't believe people should be persecuted for having one
@B6NZYVN4wks4W
I'm pro-life, but in cases of rape or incest, it is ok, but the government shouldn't of that much say in certain aspects.
@B6KV9XR1mo1MO
Pro-life, but there should be a last-minute option if the baby has passed while in the womb, and it is necessary to save the mother. There should also be a much higher educational standard in Sex Ed.
@B6K46SQ1mo1MO
In most cases, I am Pro-Life. But I think, IF a teenager had unprotected intercourse KNOWING the consequences of that, they should NOT be allowed an abortion. As for people who have been assaulted and have a kit from a hospital or such as proof should be allowed to abort if they want to.
@B6HPQTB1mo1MO
Pro-life, but if the mother is in danger during childbirth, prioritize the mother's life over the child without physically aborting the child
@B6GXZFGWomen’s Equality1mo1MO
I don't think a mother should abort their child. Unless the mother dies. And something happens to the child. But if they find out that they are pregnant I don't think they should abort. She can have the baby and if she doesn't want it she cant put it up for adoption instead of getting rid of it.
@B622QM9Libertarian2mos2MO
i am pro-choice. I do not think it should be paid for by insurance. if yu want to do it thats on you and the doctor, but it comes out of your pocket.
@B5XCFW63mos3MO
Not just a black and white issue with a few caveats... like every other question so far. Abortion should remain legal, but regulated like any other right — with limits on repeated elective use, strong protections for bodily autonomy, and a national push to expand access to contraception, sex education, and reproductive health care for all genders.
@B5VR2B73mos3MO
I believe that as a man I truly have no right to judge what a female chooses on abortion. However, I believe that it is wrong due to the fact that the child once it achieves a heart beat is a living human. There are instances that I believe this human should be allowed to be terminated with the instances of rape or if it is truly a danger to the mother or if it is in the early stages of pregnancy
@B5T57983mos3MO
Pro-abolition. All abortion should be abolished, and the mother and health care provider should be held accountable for murder.
Pro-life but increasing birth control, sex education, and social services. Also ensuring protection and care for women having miscarriages
@B5BJLXX5mos5MO
Pro-life unless the mother does not have a support system, birth is high risk, or child is a result of sexual assault.
@B57388J5mos5MO
I don't support it at all, its not fair for the baby the baby didn't do nothing wrong, If you don't want it don't kill it maybe adopted or if you got raped and don't want the current reminder adopted the baby don't kill it because its not the baby fault.
@B4YN54N5mos5MO
Pro choice up to 13 weeks/three months, but also still allow abortions for emergencies up till the window of viability have been reached around 22 to 26 weeks. After which, C sections to try and save both the baby and mother.
@B4HLHZCPeace and Freedom6mos6MO
Pro choice, up to a certain point like maybe after 3 months you can no ,onger get an abortion and provide forms of birth control
@B4HL4RKRepublican6mos6MO
I feel like this if you don't want a baby and you end up getting one then yeah abort it that's your decisions, but aborting it just to abort it and not with good reason no that shouldn't be did.
@B4C6RDT6mos6MO
Only in verified cases of rape or incest (verified meaning a conviction for rape victims or DNA test for incest cases) because without verification they'd just be able to say it was.
@B2K7F3Z8mos8MO
Pro-Life with the exception of rape, incest, and risk of the mothers life, with the exception of if it’s done earlier than 6 wks
@B2DGJYD8mos8MO
I dont think men should have a say in abortion, but at the same time people shouldn't just willy nilly with abortions, only in some cases is it okay.
@B2CXSPZ 8mos8MO
Pro Life, but with the exception of really young pregnancies, danger for the mother’s life, and deformed babies
@B244Y7JRepublican9mos9MO
I support neither choices. Abortion is wrong and should be avoided. If a person is sexually abused and is pregnant before time don't kill the baby just let it be adopted.
@9ZZJ52LPeace and Freedom10mos10MO
If in the case of a dangerous situation I can see abortion unfortunately being the only option however panning an abortion just because you want to abandon a child is dispicable
@9ZXDVT710mos10MO
I think abortions shouldn't be banned, I know there are other opinions on this but if someone isn't in good conditions health wise, isn't old enough, or isn't able to take care of that child it's better to just have an abortion, it's not murder because whatever child is supposed to come isn't even developed enough to be considered a human if anything it's just there. Regardless, it's better to just have an abortion then have the mother be in pain and possibly die or have the child live in very poor conditions because some parents of the pregnant child don't want to raise their child's kid so they can get kicked out.
@9YMF3XS11mos11MO
Pro-life, but the government should not be able to make any laws banning or allowing abortion. It should be a States right issue
@9YJBYHM11mos11MO
abortion shouldn't even be a question no baby deserves to die so their shouldn't be is it right or not yes or no their shouldn't be none of that its a no if your stupid enough to get pregnant when you don't need to or cant afford it put it up for adoption at least do not kill it don't even think about killing it
@9YGYCP3Republican11mos11MO
Pro-choice but people should not be getting numerous amounts of abortions. They should also pay for it out of pocket
@9Y7WD2511mos11MO
I feel like if you tried it used protection and tried to prevent a child, and if you still have a child or if the mother is mentally ill and cannot take care of a child, than it could be the mother choice if she wants abortion, but it do not like abortion.
@9Y4FH4N11mos11MO
Pro-life, but allow in cases of danger to mother or child. More hands on health assistance should be offered for all pregnant women; especially in cases of rape & incest.
@9Y485MM11mos11MO
Has to be before a heart beat but they also can’t keep coming and getting abortions cause they keep on getting pregnant
@9Y42ZFD11mos11MO
Pro-life, and more support should be given to crisis pregnancy centers, sex education, social services for single parents, etc.
@9XZGW5K11mos11MO
Pro-Choice, but after the third trimester it shouldn't happen. In cases of Sexual Assault, Incest, or danger to the child and/or mother it should be allowed.
@9XWPXWS11mos11MO
Abortion is wrong in every way it is the same as murder and if murder is illegal then abortion should be
@9XW3KHD11mos11MO
I think that abortion should not be an option. If they don't want the baby they can just have it and give it up to someone.
@9XVVS3R11mos11MO
I feel like it should be both because if its and planned pregancy but if its a unplanned like rape .
@9XVTL9811mos11MO
I don't feel that abortion is right but I do get why people do it. I feel there needs to be more sex education so that abortion can be prevented but I do get why people who do not plan the pregnancy do it.
@9XVTKPKRepublican11mos11MO
If you are a rape or incest victim, abortion could be used if you don't want a baby, but anything else I am against
@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
@9XVBL3K11mos11MO
CHOICE, if someone is raped, incest, or danger to mother of birth, ONLY IN the first three months unless by sake of life mandatory after then, abortion should be right. GOVERNMENT should not be allowed to ban.
@9XTM7YF11mos11MO
It is really stupid to kill an unborn child and it is a sin against God because God created that baby.
@9XTKW4M11mos11MO
I think it is good to have it because it gives you an option if you want a child or not and it is a better option then giving a baby up for adoption because that kid will be out in the world somewhere and you will miss it because you know it's out there.
@9XS2J4B 11mos11MO
I'd say Pro-choice, although my religion doesn't allow it, but I believe that the government should not control banning abortion and I also believe they should provide sex education in schools and social services as well.
I believe it is your choice because what if someone could have gotten raped. it is the woman's body and they should be able to choose what they would like to do with their body.
@9XFZNP711mos11MO
In a way both yes and no because people shouldn't take the life of a baby, but then again some people may have a baby from a rapist.
@9XC5YF211mos11MO
We shouldn't bother with making a procedure legal or illegal we should focus on fixing the reasons why women choose to have abortions instead.
@9X6MPK211mos11MO
You should have it if you run around or if you’re with someone but if you can’t support or provide, incest, rape, or danger to mother or child
@9X5FGHJJustice party member11mos11MO
Abortion is wrong and it should come to a end. if the parents do not want to deal with the baby, then they should think twice
@9X27PJN11mos11MO
It not my choice it's the woman choice. It can also be the woman and man if there married but the woman should have more power since its her body.
@9WMFCHS11mos11MO
it should be legal to be able to get an abortion as long as it’s not being used as a form of birth control. The first three are free.
@9WLXB7811mos11MO
I believe it should not be used as a birth control and that abortion should only be used under certain problems there are too many ways for you to prevent pregnancy if you are just using abortion as a birth control that's unfair to those who have been raped.
@9WJ5MHW11mos11MO
I agree to a women having a say, but I also believe in limits. I also don’t like government in our business.
@9WFHJDN11mos11MO
Abortion should be legal and is fine as long as the patient is paying and not receiving free/major assistance from government fundings.
@9W4JV8Q11mos11MO
abortion is against my religion so I would never get an abortion but I believe that every woman should have the option and right to be able to get an abortion
@9W2TV2H11mos11MO
Pro- choice, but not to be used as birth control. There should be a max limit of times you can proceed with an abortion before you are ordered to be medically sterile and no longer able to conceive.
@9W2MTT511mos11MO
Pro choice I don’t agree. There should be more education, access to birth control, and all options be made available. Fathers should have rights
@9VRL4WK12mos12MO
I think they should be legal because it should be the women's choice not the government, women should decide what they want to do with there body
@9VCWY6J12mos12MO
No I don't believe no one should kill their kid if they had the kid then they should take care of them or put the up for adoption.
@9VCJ83H12mos12MO
Pro-life unless absolutely medically necessary to save the mother, provide more sex education, and birth control
@9V6N5LM12mos12MO
Provide education and systems in place to naturally reduce abortion, and allow abortions under certain circumstances
@9V3ZVPF12mos12MO
Whilst my opinions on the matter are pro life, I believe that Americans have the right to choose, whether if I agree or not.
@9V37P6V12mos12MO
I think if you just decided to have unprotected sex that it's your fault because you made that decision to take that risk, but if it's rape I think the choice should be up to you.
@9TW8BGP12mos12MO
Pro-Choice. I would never do it but that doesn't mean that right should be taken away from others. I don't think it should be used as a form of birth control tho.
@9TN7H8N1yr1Y
I believe that if abortions are wrong but in certain cases like rape, incest, danger to the mother or child, and even if the mother feels as though she cannot carry the baby to term even to put the baby up for adoption then abortion should be available. Women who want or need abortions will find a way to have an abortion even if it is done unsafely and illegal. So why make a procedure that can be dangerous if done in an unsafe not clean back of the street illegal?
@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
@9THJGZP1yr1Y
I believe that it should be that person's choice on whether or not to have the child or not because some people aren't ready for any and everything that goes with it and some do so it shouldn't be decided by the government and shouldn't be banned anywhere at all.
@9T9DWBM1yr1Y
I disagree with the thought of abortion but I believe it should be legal in emergencies (Sexual Assault related)
@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.
@9SWDDYK1yr1Y
Pro life. No doctors should be forced to preform an abortion. Government needs to be less invasive in people’s personal life. There should be informed consent in all medical procedures.
@9SNGKHJ1yr1Y
It depends. If you are at a certain age it should be allowed like if you are not ready to have a baby and you are young/ not financially prepared.
@9SK837P1yr1Y
I feel like the government doesn't have a right to tell a woman what to do with their body and if jobs paid more they would probably be financially stable to take care of a baby. 9 times out a 10 moms abort their babies because they aren't financially stable
@9SF5865Independent1yr1Y
Pro-Choice, but there should be certain restrictions. Such as life/death, rape, incest, and there should be a restriction on how long you can wait to get an abortion.
@9SF43NKRepublican1yr1Y
Pro-choice, it should be allowed only under strict circumstances like rape or danger to mother or child with a ban after a certain amount of time
@9SCLJLW1yr1Y
I think no matter what the situation is that's still your kids and you should love it and take care of it always or let someone else love it don't kill it
@9RGH7S41yr1Y
Pro-Life, and spending the money previously being given to Planned Parenthood on sex education and more social services.
@9QYWJR9Independent1yr1Y
I support both choices. Women have the right to do as they please with their own bodies, but I also disagree with women who are reguarly getting abortions, instead of preventing pregancies. Women should be given free birth control to prevent unwanted pregnancies.
@9QQ4R8P1yr1Y
Pro-Life, but I don't support criminalizing abortion or making it illegal. Government and private institutions should be working to decrease the demand for abortion.
@9PWQZMW1yr1Y
Pro life- pro improved health care and better choices for women. For abortion in cases of life endangerment for women
@9NP46LF1yr1Y
Pro-choice, but ban after the first 3 months barring any medical issues that could put the mother or fetus in danger.
@9MGMD2V1yr1Y
I feel as though anybody that wants an abortion should be allowed to have one. That is their body not the goverments .
