Pro-life, but allow in cases of rape, incest, or danger to the mother or child

Abortions are no more than medical procedures that women should be able to receive whenever they should want to.

Abortion should not be shamed or looked down on. If a woman or girl gets raped or isn’t ready to be a mother they should have the choice to do what they wants with their body.

Abortion should be treated the same as any other medical procedure. you wouldn't criticize somebody for getting their appendix removed, because it doesn't concern you. why are people pro-life when many mothers' lives are endangered by a birth or pregnancy? In my opinion, it's an excuse to control and criticize women.

Pregnancy can pose various health risks to women, and the decision to have an abortion should be a matter of personal choice, ultimately resting with the pregnant woman. Similar to the principle that no one is obliged to donate their organs to save another person's life, a pregnant woman should not be compelled to continue a pregnancy if it's not her choice. Furthermore, situations arise where a woman may genuinely desire to have children but finds herself in a precarious financial position, making it challenging to provide for the child's well-being. In such cases, the option…  Read more to terminate a pregnancy should be available, irrespective of the reasons involved.

Abortion should be allowed regardless of purpose because some people can't afford to support and home a child.

pro choice is not just about physical safety when it come to the health of the mother. caring for a child takes alot of finacial stability, positvie mental health, access to child care services, a good living enviorment, among other things. so even if the mother and the baby would be perfectly healthy that does not mean that it is the best to have that baby.

i think they should have a choice either way even if it isnt in the case of any of those, if shes just not ready for a kid she is allowed to get an abortion

You should have a choice no matter what as long as the baby hasnt actually started like fully growing

This is a human right, women deserve the right to their body and we should make more options to make them feel safer.

It is the mothers decision, ultimately it should be their choice especially if it was something like this that happened.

Everyone should be allowed to have an abortion, if people start saying that "Oh, only people who were raped (yada yada yada) can get an abortion" means that others can start claiming that women are like, pretending to be raped just to get an abortion which is an abuse of power and very icky.

if someone isnt in a good financial situation and cant afford to have the child then once the child is born and older it will affect the child a lot mentally or any other way. or what if a 6 year old gets pregnant? she could die.

A human being should be able to choose what they do with their body, and what their body goes through. If a women gets pregnant but is to young to support them, does not have enough money to support them, or just DOES NOT WANT TO HAVE A BABY then they should have the option to not go through with the pregnancy. Just because some people disagree with abortion does not mean that is should be illegal. It should be an option. Everyone should be able to choose how their life goes, for some that does not involve having a child, or giving birth to one. No matter what the circumstance a person should be able to make their own decisions about their body.

I think People should have the right to pick what they want to do with their body. Its their life and its not right for us to have to make them have a baby when they are not ready or underage.

Women aren't always in the right circumstances to have a child and its their bodies they should be able to choose what happens to them

i say forget pro-life. im 100 percent pro-choice, and so should everyone else. no man should have any say about a woman's body.

I think we forget mental health in this situation because even if something terrible hasn't led to the reason someone is pregnant there are people suffering with mental health issues that if they are forced to have a child they don't want will compromise the quality of care they give to that child.

If you accidentally get pregnant, you should have the choice to reverse it. Like if one night you want to then realize what you did, then you should be able to change that.

Not all dangers to the mother or child are clean cut answers, sometimes it is not completely physical harm that people are avoiding it is mental harm that they can cause to themselves or to the child. Teen pregnancies are increasing and plenty of those teens are not able to care for that child causing mental problems on themselves and to the child if they have them. However, this is not always the case but only the women is able to correctly identify if they are able to create a positive and healthy life for a child.

Children born out of incest are likely to have issues which would mean more stress on the child and more stress on the mother. If a woman is raped and becomes pregnant, not allowing her the right to choose is essentially forcing her to have a child that will remind her of a very traumatic experience. Health risks are a huge concern in many pregnancies, and in some cases having a baby could be fatal for some women and if you are actually pro-life than you should value the life of someone who has actually lived.

You shouldn't shame someone for getting an abortion no matter the circumstances, it's their body. What if they aren't financially ready for a child?

Absolutely agree with the latter point, but we can’t forget that many women who are seeking an abortion are doing so because they are financially and socially disadvantaged. It can be more harmful to bring a baby into a situation where they are not properly cared for, fed, clothed etc.

If you would allow a child to be aborted in these cases, why does the mothers wishes and desires become anything less than the reasons provided? Even if she is in a happy situation and doesn't want a child she should be allowed to do what she wants with her body as long as she isn't harming anyone.

if you have to argue about rape, incest, or danger to a mother or child over the fate of a cluster of cells, you're going to hell, my dude.

Ultimately, the decision of what a women should be able to do with their own body should be left up to them. If someone is not ready to have a child, then they should not have to.

People still make mistakes, maybe they were irresponsible but that doesn’t mean they should still be taken away the right to do something of their choice to their body. The case isn’t always that they were irresponsible, there’s been many cases where these happen by accident which means that having a child wasn’t what they wanted. Even if it wasn’t rape, incest, or danger to the mother or child, its still the mothers body and it should still be here choice if she wants to keep the child or not.

The women is a victim and she should not be stuck with a child she may not want nor be able to take care of in some situations.

A child can always be a blessing in someone's life, I believe that instead we should be fighting for the government to fund more money towards financial help for single mothers, low income families, and teen pregnancies.
As well as increase the prison sentencing for rape or incest.

people should have the choice. Starting a family is difficult thing that not everyone can handle mentally and financially.

I agree to a certain extent but i still believe it should be someone’s choice because it’s their life and their body

It is not a woman's burden to support another person, with the risk of great bodily harm to herself, without her consent. Ever. She is free to withdraw that consent at any time.
This position recognizes at least in theory that a woman should have to consent to being pregnant, but it implies that just because a woman becomes pregnant that is somehow "consent."
No! People can have sex just for enjoyment, we live in a free society. The insinuation that having sex automatically means you want to get pregnant is sexist and rooted in a backwards ideology that women only exist to bear children. Women should have total control over their bodies.

I think of a mother is raped or sexually assaulted then she is able to abort. it’s that plain and simple.

I am Pro-Choice, but only until 5 weeks, after 5 weeks once the fetus develops a heart, i am pro-life. However if it is rape, incest, or a danger to people involved, then i would allow it past that 5 week mark.

If a woman's pregnancy is dangerous to her and she will die unless the baby is aborted, are you going to let an already living, breathing, loved human die instead of a fetus that nobody has ever met?

although this could be a way to solve what is happeneing in the usa, i beleive that any woman who has a become pregnant should have the choice to keep it or not in any situation.

I think that a woman should still have a right to abortion as if she isn’t in a financial situation to be able to provide the baby with a proper life than it is only endangering the baby.

I think that no matter how it happens, it should always be the womans choice. Its her body and other people shouldnt decide what to do with it.

You should agree with Pro-life because in a lot of cases besides any of the ones listed above when a woman has unprotected intercourse, they know that there is a possibility of them getting pregnant. And if the woman takes that chance, it is them agreeing that if they get a baby, they get a baby. So in that sense, if a woman gets pregnant and wants to abort that baby, they shouldn't be able to since they already had a consensus that they may become pregnant and has decided to take on that responsibility.

"Danger to mother or child" is too hard to define. It should be the woman's choice what happens to her body.

I feel that we should have the choice to do abortion because it is something that happens to our body and we have the right to choose what we do with our bodies.

Women should have a right to choose what their body goes through, pregnancy is traumatic even when wanted. Also, there is enough pain/trauma associated with being raped or incest, so why would you want to force a reminder onto the woman of what happened to her? Even if she were to give up the child for adoption, there will still be stretch marks and 9 months of her life reminding her. Regarding danger to the mother/child, why would someone bring a child into a situation where their life is at risk? That is unfair. Project the child. They deserve to be raised in a safe and loving environment, by the choice of their parents. If that isn’t possible, then abortion is completely a valid option

if it isnt the mothers fault or they simply cant take care of that child at all, i think an abortion can be prescribed to them.
