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.

@B6WK3XY2wks2W
Don't Support it. If God has given someone a child, they have no right to end it's life. If they didn't want a child, they should have been more careful.
@9V9HNB612mos12MO
I am all for your body your choice, but you should not be allowed to have an abortion after so many months.
@9Q36CLL1yr1Y
Pro-choice, I don’t fully support it, the government has no right to ban it, but it should be allowed in cases of rape, incest, or danger to the mother or child
@8N6CWXJ5yrs5Y
Should be illegal, literally killing a living being.
@8MYMNJ35yrs5Y
A fetus may be living, however is has not developed feelings, a brain, really nothing yet. I respect your opinion, however I feel that sometimes it is better for the mother to not have a child yet, I do agree that it should not be aloud after the second trimester. Teens can make bad choices sometimes, it does not mean that they should raise a child and miss their education.
@9C6FT8NRepublican2yrs2Y
I’m pro life but people who have been raped, got pregnant through incest and other things should get the right to an abortion but only before 6 weeks. After 6 weeks it’s banned
@TruthHurts1012yrs2Y
I you were truly Pro-Life it wouldn't matter to you where the baby came from.
@Jersey-Todd 2yrs2Y
Pro-Life. But I want to States take the lead on this, and in the end, pass an Amendment that abolishes Abortion just like the 13th for Slavery.
@9DGB99H2yrs2Y
Pro-choice, but ban after three months and provide social services that reduce the number of abortions at the same time.
@8ZSKM5J4yrs4Y
Pro-choice, ban after the first month.
@8NYWSZ3Independent5yrs5Y
pro - life, providing birth control, sex education, and more social services will help reduce the number of abortions
@8N227VN5yrs5Y
i don´t want to answer that
@8DKDW3L5yrs5Y
It's your decision, not mine
@B7498FQ4 days4D
Pro-Life but based on my own personal beliefs, and every woman should have rights to make their own choices and go through with it based on their beliefs not others.
@B6YW9JR1wk1W
depends on their choice, whether they want the child or not. however it is a good idea to provide sex education, birth control and more social services.
@B6XVKT81wk1W
Pro-choice, except after the third trimester, UNLESS it is for health complications to the mother and/or baby
@B6VX59G2wks2W
Women should have the right to abortion but should not be able to make a habit out of it and they should be responsible for payment. There should also be a cap to how many times you can abort. And there should also be a time limit, meaning before the baby is viable.
abortion should be legalized. if someone is raped and ended up pregnant they should have the right to avort without prosecution.
@B6VL6XN2wks2W
Individuals should have the choice to choose whether or not to conceive a child however if this should occur more that 4 times that individual should not have the ability to kill a child for their ignorance and in the case of rape, incest, or danger to the baby and the child the men or women who helped conceive the child should face imprisement.
@B6J7LNS1mo1MO
I would say that I’m mainly pro life. However if there are extenuating circumstances such as rape, health issues, financial issues, etc… I believe an abortion is justifiable for the mother.
I believe that the issue of abortion should be mitigated through education, resources, role models and I believe that the topic of sex/reproduction should become less of a taboo topic in society in general.
@B5ZKV65Independent 2mos2MO
Pro-Choice, but it needs to be regulated. The father must agree. If he does then he has to accept full responsibility for the child. If he does not then he is not liable for support or any rights to the child or mother. Repeat offenders, say 3+ abortions (rape no counted) will need to either not be allowed or have their tubes tied. This goes for the mother and fathers. Abortion is not birth control. Also make condoms free. Make spermicides free. Morning after pills free.
@B5WQM293mos3MO
Pro life but allow for rape, incest or danger to mother or child also contraceptives should be provided for free to men and women and better sex education in schools
@B5HGMJR4mos4MO
States rights, and providing birth control, sec education, and more social services will help reduce the number of abortions
@B5DZ8M94mos4MO
I think that it is wrong to kill a baby and not get Introuble. Yes people have babies for other reasons but they should give them away not kill them.
@B4XNXM25mos5MO
Pro choice but a ban after 5-6 months or whenever the limit is before it becomes dangerous to do so. I agree that it is up to the states and that people should not be convicted in there state if they go to another state where it is legal and have an abortion and go back to that state.
@B4LLFBT5mos5MO
If the woman with it she can keep it, if under the age of 18 the parents/ guardians should have a say
@B4FTTT26mos6MO
Pro life, but can be allowed in cases of rape, incest, etc. But should not be allowed to get abortion 3 months
@B47GCDQ6mos6MO
It's not my choice to make, if a person belives that they need a aborition, even if it's for a bad reason, they have the right to get, however, depending on the situation, like if it's a emergency, they shouldn't be charged, but if it's for a stupid reason, they should be charged.
@B46JGLPNatural Law6mos6MO
Pro-life, however not able to abort after 3 months to prevent abusing it, as well as allowing it incases of assault or incest.
@B3T98PZ6mos6MO
I don't have a stance on abortion, but they can get rid of the baby if it's from rape, incest, or it's dangerous to the mom
@B3B4TG87mos7MO
Pro-choice, but each state has a right to decide whether or not to ban it after the first trimester.
@B2XJ36M7mos7MO
Pro-choice, but ban after the first 3 months UNLESS the birth of the child is a danger to the mother or child
@B2SM39W8mos8MO
I feel like if your to young to be having a child maybe yeah but if your above the age of 21 you decided to make that decision.
@B2RFBWW8mos8MO
I'm mostly crossed between the two but I don't really have a clear answer, mainly because I'm not the right demographic for this decision.
@B2MWCNR8mos8MO
Pro-life but birth control could be needed for health related reasons amongst females and that needs to stay.
@B2CX5H78mos8MO
Pro-Choice, After 12 weeks though there shall be a ban. Exceptions for rape, incest, or danger to the mother or child though.
@B2CCKWZ8mos8MO
pro Choice, but ban after time where it becomes unsafe and government has no right to bani it. We can also reduce the number of abortions with an additional services to aid the youth.
@B2628VM9mos9MO
Neither Pro-Life nor Pro-chioce the government should leave it to the states to decide whether or not to ban abortions.
@B25T8L6Progressive 9mos9MO
Allow up until the fetus can feel pain, and allow in cases of rape, incest, or danger to the mother or child.
@B25D8KQ9mos9MO
Pro-choice, sometimes people cannot afford to have a child, so aborting it is usually the way they survive that. Plus, some people have very bad healthcare while being pregnant so it can affect the probability of the birth going well and child being born healthy, which is why the government has no right to ban it and it should be allowed for people who're young or can't afford to raise young.
@9ZNFB3510mos10MO
I am a man, who should not have an opinion on something I, personally, could never fully understand.
@9ZJ5YHJ10mos10MO
abortions can only happen if the baby is at most 4 months in anything more they have been in the womb for more then half the time they will be in there
@9YLLQQ911mos11MO
Pro choice , but I don’t feel late term abortion or an abortion into the last three months if baby and mom are healthy is something that should be done BUT it should be between the woman and her Dr with what she decides and when.
@9YLG2QF11mos11MO
Pro-life, but the states should be the ones to decide if abortion is legal until the Constitution is either amended to outlaw abortion outright or abortion is legally defined as murder.
@9YBSQLR11mos11MO
They should allow people to have abortions if they don't want to have the kid, if they were raped or they had a baby by accident or they just don't want a kid, they should be able to have abortions, its a right to decide what you want to do with your own body.
@9Y8RPC511mos11MO
Pro choice but ban after baby is considered viable (after 3 months I think) but allow in cases of danger to mother or child
@9Y8P32S11mos11MO
It’s all circumstantial. You can’t loop everyone into the same because different cases cause for different things. I don’t believe you should be able to a part a child at a certain point but I also don’t believe you can ban abortion for all.
@9Y6LWCY11mos11MO
It should be a choice, but after 4 months, you can't abort because the baby exists and that is technically murder,
@9Y6L29511mos11MO
Pro-life but allow in certain situations such as rape, medical concern for mother or child, and increase sex education, birth control, etc to ensure that all women have the proper knowledge and support to make the appropriate decision for their situation as each is very different.
@9XY2Z8P11mos11MO
Pro-choice but would like pregnant woman to be provided with ample alternative choices to maintain the pregnancy to term with the leat amount of financial and emotional strain.
@9XXCVQ311mos11MO
Abortion can be allowed in certain circumstances. For example, rape, incest, or danger to the mother or child but regulated if any suspicion or repetition comes up.
@9XWJL5P11mos11MO
something I would have to stay is why would they kill babies like the babies don't have the fault something I have always told myself is that babies can be great in life when the time s right and I don't think abortion is good for the baby and for ladys that are going thru stuff.
@9XTL5WH11mos11MO
I am Pro-Life but under circumstances such as the death of the mother and rape, I think abortion should be offered.
@9XTF43F11mos11MO
should only be for cases of rape, incest, danger to the mom or child and unplanned teen pregnancies as long as it doesn't happen again
@9XSZTJL11mos11MO
Pro-Life if the baby is at 9 months stage, but allow in cases of rape, incest, or danger to the mother
@9XMPG5511mos11MO
Pro life, but for rape it has to be 18 years or younger in the 7th month or less, and if the mothers life is in absolute danger, and if victim of incest
@9XLS9KL11mos11MO
Pro-Choice, but providing easier access to birth control to reduce abortions and limit the amount of time that is allotted, 3 month cut off, after that if there is serious emergency, where the mother will die going through with it, that is the only time allowed.
@9XLFHKY11mos11MO
Pro-choice, but there comes a point where the baby is too developed to abort it, in which if it is, I feel that is robbing a child of their life, basically murder.
@9XL22MQ11mos11MO
pro choice only if they were raped or having the baby might cause them to die or affect thim in having more children.
@9XKCSP711mos11MO
I think women should be able to make that dessicion if they do it before it has a heat rate and brain waves which is about 1 month into pregnancy.
@9XK9WZG11mos11MO
Pro Life unless giving birth will kill the mother in those rare cases, but the child can be given to other families if the mother have a rape/incest and the mother does not want the baby.
@9XJZD4511mos11MO
I am Pro life, I think all life should have a chance, however having a choice in what a woman wants to do with her body is important too. I think abortion should be allowed for children under the age of 18, victims of rape, other forms of sexual assault and if they are unable to raise a child.
@9XJY88811mos11MO
I think the mother should automatically just get to choose whether she would like to keep her baby or not, it is her decision no matter the circumstances
@9XJQPZC11mos11MO
I think that abortion is cruel because it is a life and even if you do not want a baby at least give it a chance to live its live.
@9XGZX7G11mos11MO
Abortion shouldn't be illegal or perfectly legal it should have a fair court trial for each abortion.
@9XGPCHK11mos11MO
I think if you accidentilly got pregnant or if you are R#ped and got pregant you should get rid of the baby but having a abortion and purposely killing a baby is murder
@9XF58NH11mos11MO
Pro-choice, but ban after the first month and a half while providing birth control, sex education, and more social services.
@9XF4JJV11mos11MO
I believe that yes, it's up to the person because it is their life and they will face their time when they go to God. However, I believe that it shouldn't really be something that everyone should be doing. There's also other options maybe for example, the mother is young and get possibly take care of this baby well they can put them in another home (someone else possibly take care of them). Or put the child up for adoption. It's sad to say or think about but I believe they shouldn't to be a normal thing, at least see other options instead of just running to that option. Because for me, that wouldn't be an option that I could possibly do.
@9X83DZRIndependent11mos11MO
Pro life. Not for the government choosing what someone can do but they must pay for their own abortion if needed. Rape victims and severe medical reasons are exceptions.
@9X5BT3FPeace and Freedom11mos11MO
If you were not looking to having a baby like it was an accident, its kind of wrong but its your choice.
@9X3C4VF 11mos11MO
I am pro-choice all of the way. I believe that someone should always have a choice what to do with their body. The birthing person matters! Don't take away their rights.
@9WZ85VD11mos11MO
There shouldn't be pro-anything and any human life has the right to live. Abortions help people live (danger to the mother or child, rape/incest victims should have the right to abort, people should just have to power to choose b/c it's all life/choice.
@9WZ583B11mos11MO
I would say it depends, I do agree if you are raped or incest or danger to the child you have the right to vote up to a certain point in the trimester
@9WWKGKC11mos11MO
Pro-life, but abortions until end of 2nd trimester; restructuring of child support, legal marriage and mandatory child paternity at birth
@9WTJTWF11mos11MO
Pro-choice, but make it compulsory in cases of rape, incest, if the mother or child is in danger, or the mother is under 20.
Pro-choice, and allow it unrestricted completely. Also provide free birth control, sex education, and contraceptives.
@9WPG57P11mos11MO
Let people choose how they live. If they want to keep a child, sure; if they want to abort it, sure. If they have to abort it for health concerns, understandable, but forced abortion or vice versa should never be allowed.
@9WNGCDL11mos11MO
Anti-baby murder, except in cases of immediate, severe threats to the mother’s life, and with the father’s consent
@9WJ5F3G11mos11MO
pro-choice, its a woman's body and she can do whatever she wants. It's also for if she gets raped or birth control didn't work
@9WGN9R311mos11MO
I believe abortion should be allowed until around 10-11 weeks of conception. We should also increase education of protection and contraceptives.
@9WGFNJPRepublican11mos11MO
States rights, and providing birth control, sex education, and more social services will help reduce the number of abortions
@9WFHMMX11mos11MO
i think you should let the girls or women have their own choice for their own body but at the same time they are hurting themselves and i think that you should maybe just give birth and give up the baby for adoption because if you keep on killing the babies you won't be able to have a baby anymore soon. Also there are many families who want children and can't have one because something is wrong with the woman or the man so I think there should be no abortion but it is still our body.
@9WDQK23Independent11mos11MO
There is no objective answer in what a life is. Whatever the state decides in good faith is good enough.
Pro-Choice but it is highly dependent on the circumstances. In the case of rape, incest, threat of death or if the mother is underage then I believe in abortion. However if it is a grown woman, who had sex with her husband that no longer wants the pregnancy then you enter a grey area.
@9W6J4WF11mos11MO
Pro-life, I also disagree with abortion, But if cases for rape, Incest, or other non-Consented cases. It will turn into a pro-choice at that point.
@9W5ZQ5411mos11MO
Pro-life, I think if the parent(s) are unable to care for the child the child should be put up for adoption, but still have connections back to their parent(s). God has a plan for every unborn baby, even before it is conceived. I think that every baby should get a chance at life, and a chance to become something great, since the possibilities of it just being conceived are so low.
@9W5P4LK11mos11MO
That child has a life it could miss, a wife, graduation, having children, starting a family and soon not being able to share memories to their parents or kids and be able to laugh about memories. All that will be taken away because of selfish abortion.
pro-choice its the choice of the person pregnant its there body not the goverments especially victims of rape and teenagers.
@9W37CYW11mos11MO
I agree with pro-life if it's not more than 3 months or not a case of rape or anything. Worse case scenario if you can't handle it, have another family member take care of it or adoption.
@9W3535T11mos11MO
Pro choice but not after the first three months except in cases of rape incest danger to mom or child.
@9W2G6KL11mos11MO
pro life and if you dont what this child then give it to somebody who wants kids but cant have any them selfves
@9VZDKKJ11mos11MO
I'd say pro-choice because what if I do get a girl pregnant I'm NOT trying to be stuck with a kid I don't want.
@9VZ5MY2Republican11mos11MO
You could just put the kid up for adoption if you don't want it. Why kill a kid where they have a chance to live a full life.
@9VZ3WT2Peace and Freedom11mos11MO
abortion is bad but sometimes good. if you have been raped abortion may seem like a good opportunity if you don't want a child at the moment.
@9VW3K3M11mos11MO
Pro-choice with exceptions for rape, incest, danger of mother, limited otherwise to stage if brainwave activity, measure same as end of life at beginning.
@9VRX9R711mos11MO
Pro choice ban after the first trimester, except the three acceptations, we should provide more opportunities for parents and kids to try and lessen the number of abortions
@9VRTZX711mos11MO
A child is made when two people of the opposite sex, male and female, come together and have intercourse. With signed consent from both sides, a pregnant woman should be allowed to have an abortion. If the pregnancy is because of rape/incest, then the woman only needs to have her own consent and not the man.
