I agree with this statement. if the pregnancy puts the persons life in danger physically or mentally they should be able to have access to an abortion

 @9H5CTBQSocialist from Virginia  agreed…1yr1Y

I agree that abortion should be available in all cases, but especially in victims of rape and for the safety of the mother. Personally I don't like abortion, but I respect that it is up to each individual to decide for their own bodies.

 @9H5H67Z from California  agreed…1yr1Y

This is why planned parenthood would be needed, so that these victims have the option to abort instead of forced to raising a kid that they didn't plan or can call their own kid.

 @9H5CZYV from Virginia  agreed…1yr1Y

I think the government should still fund Planned Parenthood because not everyone can afford to have a baby nor give them a stable life like all kids should have, and even if people were to stay that they can put them up for adoption there are many other kids stuck in the adoption/ foster care system and aren't doing nothing about. I also think that it should be funded because it will also help out a lot of rape victims and help them figure out what they want to do with the baby because having a baby isn't something easy, and that's something many people don't realize.

 @9H5CDB2Democrat from Illinois  agreed…1yr1Y

This is exactly what I have been saying, and every time i bring it up, people just start listing "facts" that are only situationally correct.

 @9H5D8C2Democrat from New Jersey  agreed…1yr1Y

IN these cases, abortion is neccessary and should be granted to every person in need of one regardless of circumstance.

 @9H5CQG5 from Michigan  agreed…1yr1Y

I believe that any woman should have right to an abortion. Many woman may not be ready for a child and the foster care system is over flowing.

 @9H5X52Z from Tennessee  disagreed…1yr1Y

Murdering an innocent baby is never the right answer to any situation. It just adds another layer of pain.

 @9H5SHMH from Alaska  disagreed…1yr1Y

It’s not about whether a woman aborts her child or keeps the child. There needs to be instant execution for rapists and pedophiles. But I do completely agree that abortion is murder so women shouldn’t be allowed to freely have as many abortions as possible. A woman that has had multiple abortions should be charged with murder and executed.

 @9H5FCFD from Indiana  disagreed…1yr1Y

Would you kill an innocent human being just because they grew up in a bad home? No, you would get them help putting them in a home that would be able to care for them.

 @9H5CRQ9 from Ohio  disagreed…1yr1Y

in a case of rape there can be things done such as a c-section to help save the mother and the baby if their life is in danger and god controls what happens I am a triplet I was a miracle I believe that if something were to happen that god can control it.

 @9GZ4B6DRepublican  from North Carolina  commented…1yr1Y

I disagree with the disrespect towards religion, but victims of rape and women endangered by their pregnancy should be allowed abortion care (unlike the average citizen). Additionally, Planned Parenthood covers much more than abortion, and overall is beneficial to the American society.

 @9H5KGFM from Nevada  agreed…1yr1Y

all women should have the access to safe abortions and birth control for it is their right to their body and what they want to do to it. there is no harm in taking preventive measures when it comes to reproduction.

 @9H6NFJ2from Maine  agreed…1yr1Y

I don't really understand the argument as it seems they are pro? I really don't understand, but since the challenge is to debate I guess I will and it seems to be negative? Well yeah the points you raised are valid, we should help victims of rape and dangerous pregnancy, and also, why is it so hard to give a person control of their body? In the USA you can buy hundreds of guns as a private person but you shouldn't have the right to get an abortion? What kind of country are you guys running? Also planned Parenthood has other important function, for example for us trans folks.

 @9H5CX5PProgressive from Minnesota  agreed…1yr1Y

I say that abortions are key in preventing people from having their physical, mental, and financial health utterly destroyed.

 @9H5SNBRSocialist from Texas  agreed…1yr1Y

Yes I agree, because banning abortion is very inconsiderate of the lives of those who WANT abortions and those who are against abortion are either going by just because their special little religious book tells them to OR old out of touch soon to be skeletons who don't know **** about what women have to go through daily. And those who give EXCEPTIONS to an abortion ban don't realize the main reason why many get abortions is to FIX their twisted reality of it occuring due to rape and a life-or-death situation.

 @9H5JZB8agreed…1yr1Y

do everything with love for that is the path god has put on us dont ask god why be but say god it is me

Netanyahu Shifts Focus to Iran After Cease-Fire with Hezbollah

Israel approved a cease-fire with Lebanon that is intended to bring a halt to more than a year of fighting with the Hezbollah militia and could help defuse a broader regional crisis that has threatened to ensnare the U.S. and other world powers.“I have some good news to report from the Middle East,” President Biden said on Tuesday, announcing a cease-fire that he said would begin at 4 a.m. local time on Wednesday.Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu backed the agreement earlier in the day, saying it would let Israel focus on the threat from Iran, allow the Israeli military to rest and rearm, and isolate Hamas.“The continuation of the cease-fire will be dependent on what happens in Lebanon. We will enforce the agreement and respond forcefully to every violation,” Netanyahu said.Lebanon’s prime minister, Najib Mikati, welcomed the agreement, saying it would bring “calm and stability in Lebanon and the return of the displaced to their homes and cities.”The Lebanese cabinet is expected to meet on Wednesday to approve steps to enforce the cease-fire, including sending government security forces to areas of southern Lebanon near the border with Israel.Hezbollah has indicated openness to a deal in recent days. “What concerns us are Lebanese national measures and the protection of sovereignty,” Hassan Fadlallah, a member of Parliament affiliated with the group, told The Wall Street Journal on Tuesday.The announcements came after a day of heavy bombardment of Beirut while Israeli ground forces advanced deeper into Lebanese territory. Minutes after Biden spoke, a series of explosions thundered in Beirut. Northern Israel also came under renewed rocket fire.There was no immediate public comment from Hezbollah on the announced cease-fire.If implemented, the agreement would be a diplomatic success for Biden in the twilight of his administration, after more than a year in which the White House has tried to fend off the possibility of a wider regional war. It could also change the landscape that President-elect Donald Trump will face when he takes office in January.

Mexico Slams U.S. Policies as Trump Renews Border War

President Claudia Sheinbaum suggested Tuesday that Mexico could retaliate with tariffs of its own, after U.S. President-elect Donald Trump threatened to impose 25% import duties on Mexican goods if the country doesn’t stop the flow of drugs and migrants across the border.Sheinbaum said she was willing to engage in talks on the issues, but said drugs were a U.S. problem.“One tariff would be followed by another in response, and so on until we put at risk common businesses,” Sheinbaum said, referring to U.S. automakers that have plants on both sides of the border.She said Tuesday that Mexico had done a lot to stem the flow of migrants, noting “caravans of migrants no longer reach the border.” However, Mexico’s efforts to fight drugs like the deadly synthetic opioid fentanyl — which is manufactured by Mexican cartels using chemicals imported from China — have weakened in the last year.Sheinbaum said Mexico suffered from an influx of weapons smuggled in from the United States, and said the flow of drugs “is a problem of public health and consumption in your country’s society.”Sheinbaum also criticized U.S. spending on weapons, saying the money should instead be spent regionally to address the problem of migration. “If a percentage of what the United States spends on war were dedicated to peace and development, that would address the underlying causes of migration,” she said.Sheinbaum’s bristly response suggests that Trump faces a much different Mexican president than he did in his first term.Back in late 2018, former President Andrés Manuel López Obrador was a charismatic, old-school politician who developed a chummy relationship with Trump. The two were eventually able to strike a bargain in which Mexico helped keep migrants away from the border — and received other countries’ deported migrants — and Trump backed down on the threats.

Missiles for Moscow: North Korea's Secret Factory Fuels Russia's War Machine

North Korea is expanding a key weapons manufacturing complex that assembles a type of short-range missile used by Russia in Ukraine, researchers at a U.S.-based think tank have concluded, based on satellite images.The facility, known as the February 11 plant, is part of the Ryongsong Machine Complex in Hamhung, North Korea's second-largest city, on the country's east coast.Sam Lair, a research associate at the James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies (CNS), located at the Middlebury Institute of International Studies at Monterey, said the plant was the only one known to produce the Hwasong-11 class of solid-fuel ballistic missiles.Ukrainian officials say these munitions - known as the KN-23 in the West - have been used by Russian forces in their assault on Ukraine.The expansion of the complex has not been previously reported.Both Moscow and Pyongyang have denied that North Korea has transferred weapons for Russia to use against Ukraine, which it invaded in February 2022. Russia and North Korea signed a mutual defense treaty at a summit in June and have pledged to boost their military ties.North Korea's mission to the United Nations did not respond to a request for comment for this story.The satellite images, taken in early October by the commercial satellite firm Planet Labs, show what appears to be an additional assembly building under construction as well as a new housing facility, likely intended for workers, according to the analysis by researchers at CNS.It also appears that Pyongyang is improving the entrances for some of the underground facilities at the complex.A disused bridge crane that was in front of a tunnel entrance, blocking easy access, was removed, suggesting they might be placing an emphasis on that part of the facility, Lair said."We see this as a suggestion that they're massively increasing, or they're trying to significantly increase, the throughput of this factory," Lair said.The new assembly building is about 60 to 70 percent the size of the previous building used to assemble missiles.

Biden will issue a pardon of his son Hunter Biden

President Joe Biden has decided to issue a pardon for his son Hunter and is expected to announce it Sunday night, according to a senior White House official with direct knowledge of the decision.The decision marks a reversal for the president, who has repeatedly said he would not use his executive authority to pardon his son or commute his sentence. The pardon comes ahead of Hunter Biden’s Dec. 12 sentencing for his conviction on federal gun charges. Hunter Biden also is set to be sentenced in a separate criminal case on Dec. 16, after pleading guilty in September on federal tax evasion charges.The pardon is expected to cover both Hunter Biden’s gun charges conviction and guilty plea.The senior White House official said Biden decided over this weekend to grant his son a pardon and began to inform his senior aides on Sunday. Using his pardon power to assure Hunter Biden does not spend time in jail comes as the 82-year-old president is near the end of his term in the White House and has no future election to face. In recent months Biden has said he would not pardon his son or commute his sentence.“I will not pardon him,” the president said of his son in June after a jury found him guilty on three federal gun charges.President Biden has discussed issuing a pardon for his son with some of his closest aides since at least Hunter Biden’s conviction in June, two people with direct knowledge of the discussions about the matter said. They said a decision was made at the time for the president to publicly say he would not pardon his son even though doing so remained on the table.White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters earlier this month that the president’s position has not changed.
