Social › Abortion

What is your stance on abortion?

M>M Personal answerOverall, I want to see whoever my politician is working on ways to increase adoption and speed up the adoption time frame. Advocating for adoption, I believe it allows women freedom if they are not ready for motherhood; and people who don't want abortions to happen. Regarding abortion, I think they are okay in cases of rape, incest, or danger to the mother or child. Ironically, the GOP claims to be the party of small government, yet they make a big-government move by restricting abortion.
