There should be exceptions, but abortions should not be available for everyone just because they don't want a baby

Not to mention that Planned Parenthood offers many more resources than just abortion, like adoption, insemination, IVF, and surrogacy.

Yes, but they would be more way to prevent and they should be taught more often in schools because someone don't want to have a baby but don't know very well how to prevent it.

 @B8BZ24ZDemocrat from California  agreed…7mos7MO

Planned parenthood is literally in the name of its company. The point of the abortions is to give women a chance to CHOOSE and PLAN when they begin parent hood. There's many reasons why people don't want babies, they may not be financially or mentally ready to bring another human to the world, some may have health conditions that could but their, or their babies life at risk, and many more. While I do agree surrogacy is an option, its still expensive and unaforable.

 @B8BTDN2Reform  from Utah  agreed…7mos7MO

I agree. I believe that abortions should only be allowed if: it threatens the mother to be pregnant, the baby won't survive anyway or would have some major disability that drastically shortens the life span, the baby was from incest, or if the baby was from rape. these are the ones I can think of off the top of my head, the list may grow as things come to mind.

 @B8BT76SDemocrat from Kansas  agreed…7mos7MO

disagree because abortions should be legal for everyone, while I do belive that peope shouldnt be allowed to get as many abortiosn as they want trying to draw a line between whats should be legal and illigal will always wrong people so its best not to do so.

 @B8BT67V from California  agreed…7mos7MO

I agree that there should be funding for the parenthood as they go through so much and you could of never know what could happen to them.

 @B8BSTDPWomen’s Equality from Kentucky  agreed…7mos7MO

An abortion should be available to any female with a quick background check. If the female has not gotten a unreasonable amount of abortions she should not be denied one.

 @B8BPJX7 from Minnesota  disagreed…7mos7MO

abortion should be banned entirely and democrats try to dehumanize babies by calling them a clump of cells instead of babies

 @B8C22PW from New Mexico  agreed…7mos7MO

Every person should have the right to all forms of Healthcare. Abortion should be a basic human right. If you force people to give birth when they do not want children there are chances that the resulting babies will not have a good life and it could cause harm to the parents.

Israeli Bombings Kill 2,300 In Lebanon in 3 weeks

Lebanese authorities say Israeli bombing has killed more than 2,300 people and injured almost 11,000, mostly in the past three weeks, with Israeli attacks reaching areas far beyond Hizbollah’s traditional bastions of support in the south.The Israeli military has ordered people living in more than a quarter of Lebanon to flee, according to a UN calculation, as its fight with the Iran-backed Shia militant group Hizbollah threatens to engulf the Mediterranean country.Lebanese authorities say Israeli bombing has killed more than 2,300 people and injured almost 11,000, mostly in the past three weeks, with Israeli attacks reaching areas far beyond Hizbollah’s traditional bastions of support in the south.More than 1mn people have fled their homes in Lebanon in under a month, according to its government, a dramatic forced movement of the population in a country of only about 5mn inhabitants with a land mass smaller than the US state of Connecticut. Israeli forces began a ground offensive in south Lebanon two weeks ago, in their fourth invasion of the country in under five decades. They had already destroyed large parts of the densely populated southern Beirut suburb where Hizbollah had its headquarters, and killed many top militant commanders in air strikes, including former leader Hassan Nasrallah.Rema Jamous Imseis, Middle East director of UNHCR, told journalists in Geneva that “over 25 per cent of [Lebanon is] under a direct Israeli military evacuation order”. “People are heeding these calls to evacuate and they’re fleeing with almost nothing,” she added, saying that 80 per cent of the shelters opened by the Lebanese government — mostly in schools — were now full.

A Moment of Darkness': Washington Post's No-Endorsement Decision Ignites Media Firestorm

Even though the presidential race between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris is neck and neck, The Washington Post has decided not to make a presidential endorsement for the first time in 36 years, the publisher and CEO announced Friday."We are returning to our roots of not endorsing presidential candidates," Will Lewis wrote in an opinion piece published on the paper's website. He referenced the paper's policy in the decades prior to 1976, when, following the Watergate scandal that the Post broke, it endorsed Democratic nominee Jimmy Carter. The last time the Post did not endorse a presidential candidate in the general election was 1988, according to a search of its archives.Colleagues learned the news from the editorial page editor, David Shipley, at a tense meeting shortly before Lewis' announcement. The meeting was characterized by someone with direct knowledge of discussions on condition of anonymity to speak about internal matters.Shipley said that he told other editorial board leaders Thursday by management that there would be no endorsement, though he has known for weeks. He added that he "owns" this decision. The reason he cited was to create "independent space" where the newspaper does not tell people for whom to vote.Colleagues were said to be "shocked" and uniformly negative. Post corporate spokespeople have not responded to multiple messages left by NPR on the subject.Former Washington Post Executive Editor Martin Baron, who led the newsroom to acclaim during Trump's presidency, denounced the decision starkly."This is cowardice, a moment of darkness that will leave democracy as a casualty," Baron said in a statement to NPR. "Donald Trump will celebrate this as an invitation to further intimidate The Post’s owner, Jeff Bezos (and other media owners). History will mark a disturbing chapter of spinelessness at an institution famed for courage."A similar decision by Los Angeles Times owner Patrick Soon-Shiong led this week to the resignations of the paper's editorials editor and two editorial board members. Soon-Shiong said that he had asked the editorial board to draft a "factual analysis" of Trump and Harris' policies and plans. In her resignation letter, editorials editor Mariel Garza said the decision made the paper look “craven and hypocritical,” given its past reporting and editorials on Trump.
