Pro-life

that women should have the right to do what they want with their bodies because it's their bodies and it effects them

There are many reasons why a women would want to get an abortion. The baby’s life may be harming her own life, she is unable to support a baby at the moment, or she may have gotten pregnant from a traumatic situation. For any reason a women should have the option to do what she wants with her body, whether its an abortion, adoption or having the baby that is completely the women's choice. No one should be able to tell anyone what they can and cannot do with their own body.

The government has no place in mandating a woman's control over her own body, it is out of their jurisdiction.

Pro-choice has so many more opportunities for healthier or safer babies and protecting women from any hardships that a baby would put on their mental health, financial situation, education, and even physical health. It also provides the option to terminate the embryo due to forced SA. The women/men/those who are ready and prepared to have a child will make the decision to keep and those who are not for any reason will decide what is best for THEM and THEIR bodies. There are already medical restrictions in place to protect babies who are past the stage of abortion. If they can choose to safely abort it should be their own decision with guidance from a medical profession who supports them.

Women should have the right to make choices for their OWN bodies; we never know what the circumstances are. It could either be dangerous for women to give birth, they could not afford to have a child, or someone could be raped and have to deal with the remainder of a child and perhaps not treat that child properly because of it.

The truth is we must ask god, is it our right to kill that baby because it's inconvenient? If we say yes for rape victims it's just going to progress to all women. Do I think it's wrong that the woman got raped? yes but two wrongs don't make a right. If the mother really dose not want a child she can adopt it out but murder is out of the question.

Women should be allowed to choose what they do with their bodies, no body should be making the decision for them.

Forcing women to have a baby when they are either too young or they could die is awful. People have the right to health care and to make decisions about their own bodies.

The "My body my choice" argument is a very strong one. No one should be able to control what someone else chooses to do with their body.

Pro-choice does not mean pro-abortion. Pro-choice is allowing the woman to choose what to do if she is pregnant. There are multiple factors why a woman might not be ready or able to have a baby. These can include; being very young, complications with the fetus, being raped, incest, etc. No woman should be forced to do something with her body, it should be up to her and her only.

If it is not your body you should not have the chocie on what they should do with theirs. Many people that do get pregnant are not capable or in the position to take care of a child. Rape victims should not have to go through with something so traumatic and life threatning. In some cases the mother and the baby will die if they are not aborted. With in the first weeks of a mother being pregnant the "baby"is a bunch of cells forming, it is not a human life yet.

Pro Choice is not pro abortion, it is just giving the woman her own choice for her own body. pro life cant be said when the life hasnt even been created/formed

Any position that isn't letting the woman carring the fetus make her own decision and have the services to enact that decision is opresssion.

It is your body. Not anyone else's. It doesn't matter what anyone else thing or wants all that matters if what you do. This is a major step back for women rights. What about the men? Why aren't we taking away their rights? If we cared as much about guns as we do about abortion then maybe just maybe people might actually get to feel safe in this world.

My body, my choice. The decision for people that have a uterus is not affecting you, so why do you care?

There is a 3 month old baby and 3 growing fetuses and small jars in a burning house. You can either choose to save the baby or the fetuses, which do you choose to save?

The men who preach pro-life, do not actually care about the children they claim to save, they only care about oppressing women and taking away their right to do what they want with their bodies.

What happens to all of the unwanted children that would be a result of abortions are banned? Are the pro-life people trying to get more funding for orphanages, and places that will provide a safe place for unwanted children? Ultimately, there will be an increase of children in foster care.

There is no child that is being killed, it is simply a fertilized egg that has the potential to turn into a child. As well, if the child cannot be cared for, it will end up in fostering. If the concerns are about childrens lives, start by helping the millions of kids in the foster system. As well, men who have a significant stance just want more control over women and their bodies. Women should not be forced to have children.

People need to be more aware of their sex life, and be more cautious and think more that with an always chance of having a kid, if it is necessary to take the risk.

Everybody should get the chance to live their best life and make the world a better place even if they weren't planned. the fact that people would take these poor people and just throw them out like garbage is also disgusting.

Women should be allowed to choose what to do with their own bodies. There are women that are raped, accidental pregnancies, teenage pregnancies, addicts, etc that end up getting pregnant and to force them to have a baby is setting that child up for trauma. Yes there is options like adoption but it still comes back to the woman having control of their own choices and bodies. That woman will have to deal with the trauma of giving a child up , have to go through a full pregnancy, potentially have to stop school or work due to the pregnancy, and deal with the stigma of giving a child up because of choices she has made.

eople should be able to choose for themselves. If you don't like abortions don't get one, but don't prevent those who want or need it from getting them.

Those seeking abortion will do so regardless if it is legal, therefore leading to unsafe measures. A woman's reproductive rights are untouchable.

A woman should have the right to choose what happens to her body. It is her own, and no one other than her should be able to tell her what to do with it

it's your body and your choice. No one else should make the decision on what you do to your body but you.

My best counter argument to the Pro-Life position on Abortion is what if a girl is Sexually assault and gets pregnant. She should be alound to get an abortion.

I agree with pro choice, I don't think any male should have an opinion on this because its not their body, if a woman was too young or couldn't afford getting protection they should still have the right to have an abortion, pro life doesn't even make sense because people say you cant "kill" a baby, there's not even a live baby in there when you get an abortion there's a very tiny cell like thing but there's nothing developed enough to be hurt or know what is happening

You should be able to choose, if you don’t want one don’t get one but if you want or need one you should be able too

The same people who will complain about people having an abortion will complain that said person cannot support their child. If someone does not feel ready to have a child they shouldn't have to have one. Birth control isn't 100% effective.

before you decide to care about children before they're born, look at what happens after they're born and fix that. (also it's the mothers choice and the fetus could cause the mother to die and that doesn't sound like LIFE to me hmmm???)

Abortion should be a decision made by the woman for her own body, so that there is not a risk for infections from the baby if it is deceased, etc., and women shouldn't be forced to go through with the pregnancy. It is not a choice of someone in the office across the country, and should be solely made by the person that is directly affected.

Every woman should have the right to make choices that affect their body. There are many situations where a woman may get an abortion. They may not be able to support a child. The baby may have been the product of rape or sexual assault, mo matter what happened, the woman should always be able to make that decision

You do not know the circumstances impacting someone seeking an abortion, and it is not the government's decision to decide this. Many people are struggling to make ends meet, there could be a medical or mental health reason, or they are just not ready to be a parent.

A women should have control over her own body and be able to decide what is best considering her own circumstances. The law should not dictate her life for her.

It should be the mothers choice on if they want to get an abortion or not, because someone could get pregnant and it could be from the result of rape, or something out of their control. I don't think abortion is murder because you'd just be aborting a clump of cells and not an actual human.

I think it should absolutely be someone’s choice as to whether they would like to abort their own child. It should be up to them not the government.

everyone deserves the right over theri own body no body lse shoudl have the right to say something about someone elses body

Womens bodies are the ones that are ones carrying the baby, and makes the biggest sacrifice so the woman should have the choice on their bodies

a woman should have every right to do as they wish with their own body and should not be held the right to a safe and legal abortion. if they do not have a safe option then they will find a way to access it illegally and in a way that may harm them, so instead when legalizing the procedure it will be safer and easier for women to make the choice they wanted to in the first place.

Take religion out of it. its not your body, its not your choice. if you dont want one, dont get one. you have no right to decide what other women want t do with THEIR body.

If you propagate rights for the unborn, you should equally propagate for the living, meaning you cannot be homophobic and transphobic and pro-life

I think it should absolutely be someone’s choice as to whether they would like to abort their own child. It should be up to them not the government

The counter argument to the Pro Life position is that abortion is a complex and deeply personal and emotional choice. Women weigh many factors like their health, their age, financial stability and how they got pregnant. (like rape or incest) The pro choice argument says that it is not the government or society's place to dictate these deeply personal decisions for women.

if its not your body you dont have a right to tell someone what to do with theirs: my body my choice

It is a woman's choice what she wants to do with HER baby, especially people who have no way to have on should not have an opinion. What if the woman was raped? What if the woman doesn't have enough money to support herself and the baby?

pro life will increase ptsd in humans along with child abuse, neglect, or more homeless families and people may resort to unsafe ways to self abort that can harm themselves

Social analysis argues forcibly for the need for safe, legal and affordable abortions. Approximately 1 million women had abortions annually until the 1973 decision legalizing abortion, and abortion had become the leading cause of maternal death and mutilation (40 deaths/100,000 abortions compared to 40 deaths/100,000 live births according to National Abortion Rights Action league.) An estimated 9000 rape victims become pregnant each year (FBI 1973); 100,000 cases of incest occur yearly (National Center for Child Abuse and Neglect, 1978). Two-thirds of teenage pregnancies are not planned, beca…  Read moreuse many do not have adequate access to contraceptives (NARAL). And the taxpayer price of supporting a child on welfare is far greater than that of a Medicaid abortion. But the issue that provokes such anger surrounds the fetus's right to life--its status as a potential human being. Anti-abortionist proponents usually take the position that conception is life and therefore abortion is murder and violates the rights of the unborn, or that there is an inherent value in life and abortion is murder because it destroys that value.

If the dad wants to leave the mom then the mom should be able to abort it. If the mom was raped, she should be able to abort a child that would only be a hassle and traumatic for her causing some sort of neglect or abuse.

no law should be able to govern a women’s body as that takes away their humans rights, and thus you give more rights to an unborn blob of cells more then an actual human being.

Anti-abortion is an inhumane measure. There are many situations that may lead to the need for abortion, and anti-abortion policies are largely measures dictated by men and do not adequately take women into account.

A child is alive. Being woven together in its mothers womb as said in ps 139. Also find me a single person who was born from someone who didn’t bring something to this world and make some degree of impact.

The protection of women and young girls. In cases where there is a rape, health risks for the mother or child, and not being emotionally or financially able to give the child the best possible outcome there needs to be a safe way for women to have a legal abortion.

It is important to consider the wishes of the person who is having the baby. It is not appropriate for someone else to make decisions on their behalf.

Every person should have autonomy over their own body and a right to choose as their choice affects the entirely of their life. They also could have conceived under traumatic circumstances such as sexual assault and should not be forced to go through with such a pregnancy.

what another person does with their body is none of your buisness. what happens to the baby of the 14 year old that your brother raped, your forcing her too give birth to this baby but you dont care what ahppens to if after. the foster care system is horrendous and your not doing anything to change it, not to mention the affect birth has on the body and the mind. your beliefs mean jack **** to everyone else so shut your mouth and mind your buisness. nobody asked you anyways. - a 14 year old

Parents unable or unsuitable to raise a baby will only make the baby/child suffer throughout their life.

Just like the government and individuals have no right to limit people’s religious choices they should also not be allowed to limit a woman’s right to choose.

A baby is, at one point, essentially a parasite and is not obligated the use of its host any more than people are required to donate organs - this is a choice.

If someone found out they were pregnant but the child had multiple medical issues and the mother and baby were not going to survive the birth then how is that pro-life if you're ending two lives.

It’s the women’s body, they have to carry that baby and should be able to decide for themselves what they do

it's the woman's choice mostly, a 20 year old shouldn't be having a kid unless the kid has a guaranteed safe and stable upbringing. remember the woman is the one who has to go through with raising the child for 9 months and abortion needs to be available. especially in cases like rape. But the woman should have the most say and final verdict. remember, not everyone should be a parent. My own father is a good example as he ran away when I was 2 years old and had 2 more kids the same year with another woman. And he was much older than my mother. My mother was not ready to be a mother with her conditions.

It is the woman’s body, and her choice. No one has the right to tell the woman what to do with her own body.

It’s the person body if they want it keep it if they don’t then don’t, it’s technically not a baby but a few cells combined. Also if they aren’t ready adoption might now be the answer cause it can ruin their body with all the symptoms and is painful

Hold a baby in one hand and an embryo in the other... now you have to drop one. Why did you choose the embryo?

If you had a child who got raped, and if they had the child they would die. 100% confirmed, that they'd pass during the birth of this child. Would you rather save your own child? Or the product of a rape?

women being to young or unfit to raise a child, a woman being raped, not being ready to raise a child, illness, many more

pro-life is not giving someone the freedom or opportunity of choosing what they want to do with their body. sure its killing something incredible but you would need to see it through their eyes they wouldn't want to keep the child of someone who r worded them or sexually abused them and if they don't want the child that is their choice. it's their body so they get to do what they feel to need to do to it.

yes, pro-lifers are trying to do the right thing for the baby but what about the mother and her choices? if the mother was raped and she got pregnant would she have to keep the baby? No, she should not have to keep a baby of on of the worst moments of her life, and that baby may remind her of that. That situation is not good for the baby or the mother.

Those who have a uterus should have the right to decided what to do with their own bodies. If the pregnancy is harmful and could kill that person they should not be forced to have that child. I would not want to have a rapist’s baby.

It should be up to the person who has the pregnancy to decide what they wish to do. It is their body and their autonomy. There are health risks that could risk the carrier’s life, there are genetic issues, there are soo many different cases where it would be best not to carry on with the gestation. Birth control fails. Sexual assaults happen. It should be up to the woman.

A woman has the right to choose what she wants to do with her body. There shouldn't have to be a counterargument because this topic should not be debated. Any reason that a woman does not want to have a child is a valid reason.

Abortion is a human right. People who are pro-life and want to have laws that ban abortions don't really care about children, they just want to have a say on women's choices and bodies. If you truly cared about children and babies, why are you not at the adoption center right now?

the government has zero authority to be instating restrictions on women’s right to reproductive health. any reason to have an abortion is a valid reason, and there should be no regulations placed upon the right to do so

You cannot force a victim of rape, or a child, to keep a child they do not want to, or are not ready to have and keep, educate, etc...

A fetus is not yet viable for life. Abortion can save a woman's life, especially in the cases where she could die from a pregnancy.

There are many different reasons someone may want to terminate a pregnancy, I think it is ultimately up to the individual carrying the fetus to decide what is best for them. We live in a time where the medical risk for properly terminating a pregnancy is super low and every individual should have the freedom to choose what happens to their own body.

Everyone will always have different opinions so for what I find best as a Christian is to stick to God's word and not let a baby die just because I don't want to keep it. Might as well let someone else adopt it who will take more care for it.

No one besides the mother and father of the child should have any choice in whether they keep the child or not.

A person with a uterus is a person and not an organic incubator. Their life—their health and well-being—come first. The decision to end a pregnancy should involve nobody but the person who is pregnant and their medical provider.

There are so many different components to look at when addressing pregnancy, a woman should not be forced to carry the baby to term for multiple different reasons, whether that’s being raped, health wise, financially, or just simply not ready to have one. Everyone is entitled to their opinion but my stance is every woman should have a choice whether that’s to carry to term or terminate and nobody should be forced or shamed for the decision they make because that decision is never easy.

You aren't Pro Life. You're Anti Woman. You Conservative ****** s love to rag on women to keep their babies because life is sacred or some **** . But the moment its born all of a sudden all that caring goes right out the window.

People People who who know they can’t take care of children should Have the right to have an abortion

People should have there own rights to themselves. It is not a free society if people are being controlled to babys that aren't scientifically alive whats so ever

People have the right to make choices on their own bodies. Lets say you get raped at a young age, you are living under your parents supervision and still in school trying to get an education. Being forced to have your rapists child would go against your human rights and the child would live a hard life due to the fact you do not have the necessities to support that child.

It should be the mother’s choice, it is her body, she knows the reason to why she wants an abortion.

That pro choice creates a better and safer environment for women to be in without knowing that can’t do anything about themselves if something happens that they didn’t want.

Some people seeking abortion are in difficult situations and they feel like they don't have a choice. I believe there should be options and support available for women in these tough situations. However, it doesn't seem fair for the government to decide this for them. I still don't agree with abortion, but I also don't agree with the government making that decision for someone.

A woman has the right to choose what she wants to do with her body. There shouldn't have to be a counterargument because this topic should not be debated. Any reason that a woman does not want to have a child is a valid reason. People who use the excuse of adoption being an option don't understand that many pregnancies are complicated and some women just don't want to be pregnant, and that is COMPLETELY FINE!

If a teenage girl gets pregnant what happens if she can't have the baby due to possible medical issues?

I am the opposite with pro-life, I am pro-choice, I think men should leave women the hell alone, it's not a mans decision to keep the baby, it's the women choice the one is is actually growing the baby, not the man who had sex with her.

Should a women who was raped at 13 have a baby? is she mentally and physically prepared to care for a child? No
