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.

Pro-choice but I do not think tax payers should be funding to fix other people's mistakes. If you want an abortion you should pay for it yourself.
I'm both, it's the mothers choice to keep it or give it away. However it could be better if the child was given to a good off family that can take care of the child if the parent can't possibly take care of the child due to money, neighborhood, and/or problems with housing and living. If the mother wants to get rid of it because of rape, incest, or danger to both of them she can abort it or let someone else have the child to care for.

Pro-choice, but once there is the development of a mind that is able to experience pain then it becomes morally ambiguous/wrong.
Pro-choice, but I prefer abortion not to happen and better education an the topic would help with that.
Personally pro life, but pro choice for 1st trimester, limited abortion rights 2nd trimester, 3rd trimester only for life or urgent physical health of the mother.
@9MHWXZMIndependent12mos12MO
i support both decisions, u can do what u want with ur body but no more than 3 abortions in a lifetime
Pro-abortion, and providing birth control, sex education, and more social services will help reduce the number of abortions, but abortion should be restricted after 24 weeks, because consciousness is developed and most abortions occur before the 3rd trimester.
I personally do not care what people choose to do with their own body, if they decide the do or do want an abortion doesn't affect me at all.
@9M7BT851yr1Y
I would never personally do it unless it held a health risk on me, but I'm not gonna tell another women what she can and can't do with her life, unless she is using it like birth control and is constantly having one
i against the abortion no matter what or how don't do that is a life inside on you you will be a killer/murder
@9LTF9V91yr1Y
I believe in both I believe that you should be able to choose depending on the situation but I also believe that a child is a blessing and He is there for a reason
I feel as though it's extremely situational, while I see the argument on both sides. I think that choice makes sense but I don't think is morally correct.
It's the person carrying the baby's decision, why should we decide for them when we know nothing about financial situations, health situations, and living situations?
This is another state issue. However, I believe that abortion should be legal up until the first three months, or first detection of a heart beat.
@9KLS47K1yr1Y
Pro-Choice, If the government provides birth control, sex education, and social services that would help prevent abortions. However, Abortion should be banned after the first three months.
@9KCFZ3CLibertarian1yr1Y
I would never get one, but I would never judge someone for getting one because that simply isn't my business, and I don't think that they should be banned.
@9KBBK4T1yr1Y
Pro-choice, but ban after the first three months, but disregard in cases of rape, incest, or danger to the mother or child and providing birth control, sex education, and more social services will help reduce the number of abortions
It’s is not right but if you got rape or had something wrong with you the. You gotta do what you gotta do
@9K5CQ471yr1Y
I believe it should still be available, because people who are in different positions that affect the child in life, but I do agree that after a certain amount of time an abortion should be illegal.
@9K4J4JG1yr1Y
I think that abortion should only be a thing if the suspect was raped or the mother is in danger giving birth
@9K4FBXF1yr1Y
I think it can be sad at times and wrong but for me if I were to abort a baby then I would regret it. In other people’s cases, I don’t know how they would feel but I hope they would feel it was something they did wrong.
I think the women that have the money, and time, then I think they should not be allowed to abort, but if they have something that does not allow them to have their kid then they can have the option to abort
It should be illegal but if they person wants to have an abortion then after birth giving birth, they can give their baby to a family member because that is a life an angel that didn't do anything wrong.
Pro-choice, as long as it isn't used as a birth control method because the adults weren't being responsible.
Pro-life, as long as it isn't used as a birth control method because the adults weren't being responsible.
@9JLQLX41yr1Y
i don't really care, I wouldn't kill a baby just because I am not a killer, but I don't really care what others do with their body.
I'm absolutely pro-choice, it's a woman's decision and if she wants that anyone else can forbid it because no one know her motives.
@9J9F4R21yr1Y
Should be allowed for adults only in medical circustances but needs to be banned when the person is 19 years of age and less
Government should not dictate the legalities of individual medical procedures proven to be be safe and effective.
I don't believe abortion is right, but I also believe the only one who should make that decision is the woman herself.
i personally do not agree, but i do not care what others are doing, i think its silly that its so open right now, as in most anyone can get one no matter the circumstance or age. i think there should be regulations.
@9HK6CMJ1yr1Y
I am a man of god. Our god. Not Allah, not Jesus, not budduh, but the god that truly made all of us.
That being said
At the end of the day- the woman can choose to do whatever she wants it’s her stomach that’s altering. She should be able to chose I fully support that.
pro choice because it's their body and teens and rape victim might not be able to afford a child at that moment
I am 100% against abortion, I would never personally do it. I also believe anyone has the right to get an abortion if that's really what they feel they need to do. Even in cases of rape, incest, etc...I would never abort my child.
It really depends on the situation, if it's for the right reasons then yes an abortion is fine, but if you made mistakes multiple times and keep coming back then that's on you
pro choice if the mother is in danger or the baby , or if the baby if going to die anyway during birth
I am pro-life. However, I believe that women should be allowed to in cases of rape, incest, or danger to the mother and child. Additionally, I believe the government should provide birth control, sex education, and more social services to help reduce the number of abortions. I also think the government should provide more resources to mothers needing help caring for their children.
pro Life but supporting people who get into that situation, providing free birth control everywhere, sex ed, and more social services, and allowing abortion in cases where it is harmful to the mother and child.
I don't really care people can do what they want with their body as long as they are being responsible.
@9G62FFTWomen’s Equality2yrs2Y
i think people should be able to do what ever they want with their body just not abuse the power given
No, unless if you were raped or impregnated without permission to have sex, you have to go through and have the baby.
If the child is still in its fedus stage then yes but if it's considered a living being then no
@9FPQ9TD2yrs2Y
@9FP59JN2yrs2Y
I am neither, It depends on the person's medical history, belifes, requirment or readyness to take on the responsibility, even financially supported or have been sexually assulted
@9FNLH6F2yrs2Y
Do you man. idc what you do with your body
@9FN4Y7C2yrs2Y
i really have no say in what happens its the mothers who do
If a woman was raped and got pregnant, she has the right to abort the child if she wanted to.
I don't really care as I'm too young to have an actual say in this
I don't think I should answer this question, as I will never be affected by this
@9FDJ4ZW2yrs2Y
i belive that it depends on the situation if the baby and parent are in trouble the mother or others should no longer have the choice but to abort the baby but somtimes birth control and plan b dosent work and they should have the desicion to abort but after 2 months they should no longer have that desicion.
@9FBNP4L2yrs2Y
It doesnt matter only base on the women who going through the stuff
@9F9XH4Q2yrs2Y
Unless the mothers life is at stake, I do not believe in aborting a fetus as the fetuses life matters the same regardless of the situation. The bible also has a very clear statement on the value of life in everything.
@9F852TD2yrs2Y
I don't actually care as much as others. If you wanna get rid of then than that's your choice. Doesn't affect me at all.
@9F6ZVZ32yrs2Y
Pro-choice, while my religion would not allow me to have one, I do not think its my choice to push my beliefs on what someone else does with their body.
@9F3DVZZ2yrs2Y
abortion is right, only for patients who have some physical disability
I believe a female should be able to do anything that they want with their body, even if they are killing another human being, Cause the baby technically isn't a human until it comes out. Currently its closer to a fish than a human.
@9DWPHGS2yrs2Y
Pro-life, but prefer social services and robust support systems over bans
I do not believe that abortion should be banned, but I do believe that without a valid reason an abortion should not be granted. Valid reasons including the health of a mother, rape, incest, child pregnancy and etc.)
I'm pro-choice only for the reason of if someone is raped and gets pregnant, then they should be able to have the choice to abort the baby.
if you ask me i don't agree with it but i do at the same time because if your gonna be unsafe and dumb enough to do something and get pregnant just have it and take responsibility for it. but something else that could happen like if a women was taken advantage of and say she couldn't afford the baby then it would be understandable
I am a man and should not be the one making this decision
Abortion should only be legal for women who were sexually abused
im pro-life but other people can do whatever they want with their body
@9DGLF7R2yrs2Y
Depending on what the Woman wants to do she should have the option available to her. And especially in cases of rape or incest, abortion clinics should be open and paid for by the government.
It should be both the man and womens choice
I am 100% pro-abortion, just as I am any medical procedure.
ban this its basically killing someone
I am pro-choice, but personally, I do not agree with abortion unless there is a case of rape, incest, or some significant health issue. I also believe more education needs to be done on responsible behavior, birth control, etc.
@9D7FCDC2yrs2Y
all for abortion especially with cases like rape, teen pregnancy etc
1 Child Policy like China used to have.
@8YYYNBL3yrs3Y
Its your baby do whatever
Pro choice, ban after three months and provide birth control, sex education, and more social services
For religious reasons, I'm pro-life for myself but I worry what might happen to families and victims if abortions are banned.
@9X232QP6mos6MO
I think the mother has every right to not want the fetus but only for certain reasons such as rape, but I also believe if the mother just doesn't want the fetus she should have every right to abort the child unless she's been carrying the fetus for over 3 months.
@9X22XSF6mos6MO
I think every women should have the right to speak on what she wants done for herself and her wellbeing.
Pro-choice, but cut off after the first three months unless of any medical reasons come about. I also think they should provide birth control, after care help, and abortion social services.
If the baby is guaranteed to die and/or it will kill the mom, abortion is necessary or if they are a victim of rape, abortion is also allowed.
If women where to get sexually assaulted and have a baby that comes from their abuser they should have the right to have an abortion.
Pro-choice, women should decide what they want to do with their bodies, and it may be necessary in some cases.
Pro-choice and all of its aspects along with the addition of letting the mother have an abortion if not financially stable.
@9K6PVN51yr1Y
They should keep abortion legal because really it's the parents choice and no one should have any say in it.
its a pro choice because if your the one carrying a child in your body nobody has the right to tell you to keep it or not its all your decision.
@8HXFKBK5yrs5Y
I don't really care do what you want with your body
Give people resources and SAFE Abortion access. People shouldn't decide something for someone else's body
@9CH2V5R2yrs2Y
I believe that there should be a federal government intuition put in place that regulates this. Allowing 1 abortion, and fines and felony charges afterwards. Rapes are exception. People should take accountability and responsibility.
@9BVTKBX2yrs2Y
Pro-choice it ain't my body
keep it. we need to get rid of people
@9BTJBMW2yrs2Y
Whatever they feel like is the best choice.
@9BM324P2yrs2Y
Pro choice but I don’t think you should have an abortion after the first trimester, there should also be more accessibility to birth control and sex education.
@99BGFQK2yrs2Y
I believe abortion is wrong in any case.
Pro-Choice, though abortion should be a last resort once all other options have been exhausted
@96QGMG83yrs3Y
It's not up to me if women want children or not.
