Rape victims and young girls are more negatively effected by giving birth than positively. Why should somebody else be in charge of your own body? If wanted, girls and women should be able to have abortions to their liking and it shouldn't be anyone's business, especially not a mans or a male politicians.
@9F9LYRM2yrs2Y
Children being way too young to give birth, women who are not financially stable enough to have a child, women who are on drugs and will have a disabled child do to drug use, women and children who were raped and became pregnant, should all have the option to have an abortion.
@9FFKG3D2yrs2Y
children who are too young to have children, women who are not financially stable, children who are being born into families that don't love them or being born into families that are going to abuse them. Women who are on drug who will have children with birth defects that will drastically reduce their quality of life. It is a woman's body that is being used for 9 months and it is them who have go through drastic pain during and after child birth. It is their body they should have the right to choose.
@9FF5T972yrs2Y
I think a woman has a right to abortion because what if she was raped or a victim of abuse if I was a victim and wanted an abortion I would want to be able to. And if the women got pregnant and felt like she wasn’t fit to be a mother or couldn’t afford it show be able without a problem should get an abortion
@9FDNDS8Conservative2yrs2Y
If you physically or mentally cannot take care or have a child you should have as many options as possible.
@9F749X92yrs2Y
I believe that it should be pro-choice no matter what circumstance. A women may not be in a good enough state to provide for the child and it is not their choice to be in that circumstance. The child could also be a reminder of that traumatic event so it could be hard for the mother to have a connection and sense of love for the child.
@9FB299K2yrs2Y
abortion actually gives women more trauma based on statistics in Europe. unfortunately our healthcare system doesn't record data on abortions after the fact. But women are at higher risk of suicide and drug abuse after an abortion even if the at the time wanted it done. You don't answer trauma by pilling more trauma on top of it.
@9F74W7F2yrs2Y
"you would rather bring more unwanted, unloved babies into this world to be abused to turn into the next generation of abusers? Allow a family to choose when they are ready, accidents happen no matter how safe you are... look at you after all"
@9FB299K2yrs2Y
that's why you just don't have sex. It's not that hard to resist urges like that
@9FDNH5FNew Democratic2yrs2Y
That you are taking away women's rights by not giving them the choice to be able to choose whether they have the baby or not.
@9FDGX7J2yrs2Y
Only woman should have an opinion because they are the ones that have to go through 9 months of pregnancy, labor and the rest of their lives being changed. It is their personal opinion.
@9FCB7V62yrs2Y
How is it correct that we place a higher punishment on the victim of assault than the person committing the crime? Why is a not-yet-complete life more important than one that is being lived? If it is such a big issue that this life is being aborted, place the barriers on the men who can procreate many, many more times in a given time period than the women.
There is no valid argument opposing abortion. Abortion needs to always be accessible regardless of the reason or circumstance, and any reason for not wanting to continue the pregnancy is sufficient without argument. "Would you rather have safe, ethical, medically performed abortions, or ban them and end up with traumatized teens overdosing or cutting into their own uterus to try to abort the fetus on their own?"
@9FDLV5J2yrs2Y
Life quality over life itself, some are not in the proper condition to raise a child, the kid will grow in a not ideal environment. it is terrible for society.

@9FB7JQL2yrs2Y
Many people that get abortions, get abortions because they can not take care of a child, whether it be because of financial or health reasons.
Some people just don’t want kids and would prefer to focus more on different things like their career.
Some people who need abortion dont need it because they were stupid and decided to have sex and regret it, some people who need it have gotten raped and are a child. Children or even adults should ALWAYS have the choice to keep or abort their baby.

@9F9SDTQ2yrs2Y
People should have their own choice on weather or not they give birth because it can affect the pregnant person.
Pro choice is the fair one because every person should be able to control there life and if they were a rape victim the chill could be triggering or even not healthy and if it’s very unhealthy it could not only die but kill the mother
@9F82BXZ2yrs2Y
Would you want to raise a child that reminds you of a terrible time in your life? or, Would you want to be raised by someone you know doesn't want you or have to go through the foster care system?
@9FB299K2yrs2Y
pro life people are not forcing women to raise the child. Were just simply asking not to kill another human being. There's huge waitlists of people wanting to adopt newborns

@9FB299K2yrs2Y
I think men should have a say in babies especially there own as it takes two people to create a baby. Just because women carry the baby in them doesn't give them more say. It should be 50/50 when it comes to reproductive rights
@9F9HJRD2yrs2Y
God gave us free will and it is very ignorant to take that away from women especially when most of decisions regarding women’s body are made by men.
@9F889LL2yrs2Y
Every person has the right to choose what happens to their body and the Fetus isnt actually a person yet so its not murder.
@9FB299K2yrs2Y
the definition of a fetus: an offspring of a human or other mammal in the stages of prenatal development that follow the embryo stage.
its a human being by definition meaning its a person. A human can only make another human
@9F85PFS2yrs2Y
victims of rape and incest should be allowed to abortion since they did not agree to that decision and giving birth to a child that you didn’t like would be a torture to them and might increase the rate of suicide
@9FB299K2yrs2Y
abortion actually puts women also at a higher risk of suicide later on based on scientific studies. So you're gonna answer the increased risk of suicide with an even more higher risk
@9F9NGVL2yrs2Y
I think that if you are pro-life and are oppose to abortions that you should keep that opinion to yourself like why does it matter if others get abortions.
@9FB299K2yrs2Y
we in the pro life movement do make it our business because its a moral issue. That's like saying murder should be okay so keep the opinion to yourself. People have to stand up when something horrible is going. How do you think slavery ended in the states, people stood up to it. Justifying abortion is just as bad as the holocaust
@B2RX3TQ2mos2MO
if you are under 16, you should have the right to have an abortion, other-wise you should not be able to have one. I know this is ironic considering an adult should be able to choose more and easier, so maybe depend on their life status if they are too poor to sustain a child.
@9HP53Y61yr1Y
I believe that if the abortion is because of rape its fine but if you just had unprotective activities then they should keep it
@9FHK5S8Conservative2yrs2Y
i think thats super **** ed up. if you are raped/raped by a family member it should totally be your decision to terminate. **** in religious people man
@9FDTJXXNew Democratic2yrs2Y
Life quality over life itself, some are not in the proper condition to raise a child, the kid will grow in a not ideal environment. it is terrible for society.
@9FBZP3HNew Democratic2yrs2Y
It’s quite obvious here. A rape victim no matter the age shouldn’t be responsible for something they weren’t given the choice of conceiving.
It’s a woman's and doctors choice only, and that’s that.
@9FBTX3T2yrs2Y
I would ask how somebody making a desicion to have an abortion affects the person saying this, and why do they care? How would you feel if you needed some sort of surgery, but you weren't aloud to?
@9F7H3DF2yrs2Y
My body my choice. If a fetus is should be protected men should be paying child support from conception if they are not involved. If a fetus is a person we should be able to take out life insurance from conception.
@9H6CZY41yr1Y
I think victims of rape should have the ability to have an abortion because it was not their fault and they don’t want to live with a child remembering how it happened.
Policies that lean toward the pro-life stance take away the rights of women who genuinely need those services.
@9FH4KHS2yrs2Y
Victims of rape is there choice to do what they do and pro-life is not dicidet by a man it dicidet by a woman
@9FGRQ442yrs2Y
Women's rights are being violated by men who do not understand the single struggle of having a child. Why force someone to have a child, who many live an awful life full of hate and neglect after.
@9FGQ95GConservative2yrs2Y
Women who do not want babies are shamed. Women who do want babies are also shamed. It's her choice, and her body. If a women is raped and wants to abort, she should be able to. The women could be unready and the child will be raised in an awful position. Neither of them deserve that.
@9FGL7Y8Conservative2yrs2Y
People should have the right to chose what they do to the baby they should be able to abort until the baby gains councious ness
@9FG5HKM2yrs2Y
It is a violation of human rights to force a decision on someone. Also, given the current state of foster care if the mother can’t provide for the child it will not have a positive life. Finally, rape is a crime and victims should not be forced to bear the weight of it.
@9FFP36Q2yrs2Y
You best be prepared to support the mother and child for the next 18 years if you take away their choice.
@9FFLT2H2yrs2Y
Say if a child is a victim of rape or incest they are forced to have a baby at an age where they could easily die from giving birth. The same goes for adults. If they cannot financially take care of the child or if they birth the baby they are at risk of dieing it would be better for them to abort the fetus. Since the child could end up in the foster system/up for adoption.
@9FDCCNN2yrs2Y
children getting raped or single homless mothers who cant afford to give the baby a good life, everyone shoukd have the choice to choose what they do with their own body
@9FDCBYC2yrs2Y
it should be a womens choice no matter what she is the one who has to bare a child for 9 months and have to live with that so if she dosent want to or isnt ready then thats her choice.
@9FCPXVY2yrs2Y
Some people have to suffer because of others' terrible, disgusting, criminal actions, and they have to at least be able to decide for themselves whether or not they wish to deal with the after math of the event.
@9FCC6CV2yrs2Y
Everyone should have the choice of abortion without it Some one could end Up with a baby they Can't care about. people could end up with a baby they did not want or not ready for.
.
@9FBVJZB2yrs2Y
no one should be forced to have a baby, wether they are ot mentally ohysicaly or finataly not ready, have been raped, or for medialal reson. everyone should make the choice for themselfs and not have others belifes forced on them
@9FBHTTM2yrs2Y
it’s is not your body, if someone does not want to care for and birth a child they shouldn’t have to and should be allowed an annotation.
@9FB2D3Q2yrs2Y
Everyone should be able to do whatever they would like with theyre body especially if they were forced to have sex and do not wish to have a baby.
if a child cannot legally adopt another child. then a child should have the right to abort one. if they are rape victims it increases the chance the child will be abandoned or abused which clogs the child protection services even more.
@9F9HXBW2yrs2Y
Let people have a choice. If you get raped and have the baby that's your choice. But if someone doesn't want to, why force them? God loves all beings and their sins so who are you to judge, God???
@9F928G62yrs2Y
My body, my choice. There is no logical reason to ban or oppose abortions, for anyone, but most especially for victims of rape and incest. Abortions need to be performed by trained Medical Professionals and be safe and accessible regardless of the reason or circumstance. Without it, we see an increase in unsafe, unsupervised abortions that risk the life of not only the fetus but the mother as well. You can never convince me you are Pro-Life if the life of the mother doesn't matter to you. Pro-Life is just another way for people in power to exert control over women and their bodies. Healthcare is a Human right.
@9FFM5Y52yrs2Y
In cases of rape and incest, a woman should 100% have the right to choose whether she wants an abortion or not. It is important to realize that cases of rape and incest are very traumatic experiences, and forcing someone to go through with a pregnancy happening from such a situation can just add on to their suffering even more. You should consider the mental health of the survivor, and not just whether or not the child will live or not. Not letting a woman access to an abortion in situations like these can also lead to lead to legal problems, which may require victims to go through a long pro… Read more
@9FFHTTCNew Democratic2yrs2Y
I think human life is so valuable because we have so much intellect, the ability to feel emotion, process thoughts and make connections with other people. And while yes a fetus is valuable, it;s valuable for the potential of all these things. It doesnt exist, yet. While I;m not saying it isnt valuable, a pregnant woman's life, is more.
@9FFH58D2yrs2Y
The trauma endured from victims of rape and incest deserve a choice on what they should do with their OWN bodies.
@9FFC6GG2yrs2Y
You haven’t experienced what they have, and having a product of trauma
in your body for nine months can be severely traumatic. If you’re pro life and want to give children a chance, promote more adoption and the education and healthcare of children, instead of controlling other peoples’ bodies. These fetuses aren’t even fully developed, and they don’t think or feel anything. It would be humane to let people get abortions.
@9F8F8HY2yrs2Y
Birthing and raising a child without maturity and readiness is like killing the child alive. So parents better have child when they feel ready in any circumstances.
@9F88JX42yrs2Y
If it is not your own body it is simply not your choice, you do not have control over what others choose to do with their body. If it is going to cause more harm and stress to both the pregnant person and the baby the individual should do what is best for themselves
@9F84WWS2yrs2Y
Your body, your choice as long as an abortion is gone through before the baby is significantly developed
@9F7X2GH2yrs2Y
A person should be allowed to make their own choice in the matter since their choice does not harm others. And if you call yourself pro-life but you would advocate for the life of a fetus over the life of a mother then you’re not pro-life, you’re controlling and insane.
@9F7VL4K2yrs2Y
You don’t have to get an abortion if you don’t want, but you can’t tell someone else not to. It’s not your body, it’s not your choice.
@9F7TMWF2yrs2Y
You worry about the unborn baby, what about the women? What about the baby who will be put up in abusive foster care systems or neglected by the parents? No one wants to have an abortion, they are likely forced due to financial, health or age problems.
@9F6TF762yrs2Y
I think it's disgusting that people think they get to make choices for somebody else, especially if they were raped, because that is not something that you can control. Your rapist does NOT love you,. they are disgusting, horrifying people, and your body is your choice.
@9FG39FJ2yrs2Y
There is some people who have issues and have been raped or incest who can be harmed or possibly die if they don’t and they might not be able to take care of a child because they don’t hav ethe money or food
@9FFZJJS2yrs2Y
I think that abortion for everyone should be legal as it is your body and you get to decide what you do with it. No one else should be able to decide if you can get an abortion or not.
@9F8S4M82yrs2Y
if you were SA'ed and complacations started happening wear the doctor says you will unless you abort, will you chose your life or the life of a child you didn't want to have?
@9F7SYL7New Democratic2yrs2Y
i believe that pro life is not OK because you are giving the mother who is carrying their own child right to decide to abort her child or keep it.I feel no matte the person you yourself should have the right to make your own decision based on what is going on and how far/old you are.
@9F6TCRZ2yrs2Y
There is no valid or compelling argument opposing abortion. Abortion needs to always be accessible regardless of the reason or circumstance. Any reason for not wanting to continue the pregnancy is sufficient without argument. The uptick in unsafe illegal abortions concerns me less than the impact of children born into unstable situations on society as they grow older.
@9F66Q822yrs2Y
I believe in pro life but when is comes down to teenager who kill an unborn baby because of they age and the consequences that come with unprotected sex at a young age. I don't agree with
@9MKCM4B 11mos11MO
The argument that opposing abortion, especially in situations involving rape and incest, ignores the suffering and injustice endured by those who have survived these horrible crimes is a strong refutation of this viewpoint. It is inconsiderate to force victims of rape or incest to bear a pregnancy to term since it compromises their physical, mental, and emotional health. Refusing survivors' access to abortions perpetuates damage and undermines their basic rights to autonomy and bodily integrity.
@9FDC9Z32yrs2Y
Rape is when someone is forced into having sex against their will and everything that happens is against their best interest. If someone were to get pregnant from it you're now forcing them to live with something traumatic. Chances are they aren't in any position to care for a child and adoption shouldn't be the go-to choice. She now has to carry a child created from trauma and abuse to term and deal with the possible complications pregnancy can have. If a child is raped and becomes pregnant it is also significantly more dangerous to carry a pregnancy to term. Pro-Life shouldn't just be for unborn fetuses who can't survive on their own but also consider the life of the mother. An unborn fetus is far less important then the living, breathing human being force to carry the child.
@9F9BZ5K2yrs2Y
do you have a uterus? if yes, do you think it is appropriate for the government to mandate vaccines, medicines, and other scientifically beneficial health measures to every person? the likely answer is no, which leads to the conclusion that abortions are unconstitutional.
The fact that life begins at conception is attested to in the entirety of the body of scientific evidence. The words fetus and embryo are Latin for little one, child, or offspring. Any other standards beyond conception used would justify genocide of people who are already born; whether it is through denial that there is life in the womb or justification on the grounds of "compassion" to prevent them suffering in poverty, neglect, illness, etc.
@9GFQNYD1yr1Y
Banning abortion will also make young women more hesitant to have sex if they can't abort, and children of victims of rape and incest also deserve the right to life, just because their parents did not intend to have them does not make them any less entitled, because they have no control over their parent's circumstance.
Banning abortion causes more death and harm through unsafe abortions, children raised in neglect, and mothers dying through child birth and in losing autonomy and control over their own bodies and remainder of their lives as a result
