What is your stance on abortion?
Abortion is a medical procedure resulting in the termination of a human pregnancy and death of a fetus. In the UK abortion is legal in the first 6 months of pregnancy as long as the procedure is carried out in a hospital and women have the approval of two doctors. Abortion is currently illegal in Northern Ireland.

Abortion is not a choice, where it is necessary for a woman's health to abort a fetus then that has to be legal, if possible the fetus should be transferred to an artificial incubator.
@David-A.-C.Conservative1mo1MO
I don't see where we would get the funds to do this. Unless you mean we should ban it for most, but only allow it if the woman's life is in danger, and then transfer the fetus, if so I agree.
@93J328FLibertarian2yrs2Y
Allow only in the case of failed contraceptive.
@8Q5Y3FW3yrs3Y
Pro-choice but a ban after 4 months, and providing birth control, sex education, and more social services will help reduce the number of abortions.
@93P794R2yrs2Y
Pro-choice, but if the female has been a victim of rape, then abortion should be the only option
@93K7SD72yrs2Y
Pro-Choice, but third trimester terminations should need exceptional medical grounds.
@92WCD8X2yrs2Y
Pro-life, but provide sex education, and more social services will help reduce the number of abortions.
@93XHFQC2yrs2Y
Pro-choice because it is the women’s body so it’s their choice in what to do and nobody else’s
@93VGXT32yrs2Y
Pro-choice in all scenarios however increased education and free contraceptives will naturally reduce the amount of excess abortions required
@97Q5RFN1yr1Y
Pro-choice but only during the 1st trimester or if the baby is developed via rape, incest or is a threat to the mother’s life.
@962VZL81yr1Y
Pro-choice. More money should be invested into education, keeping young women sage, social services and birth control.
@8RNJF8N3yrs3Y
Pro-choice, I don't agree but the government has no right to ban it however providing more birth control, sex education and more social services will help reduce the number of abortions
@8W855JCConservative2yrs2Y
Pro-life, and I categorically oppose abortion in every single case, including rape and incest. No exceptions.
@9KXHDNZ2wks2W
Pro-choice, I would not like to engage in it myself, though I think the option should be there for others. More in-depth sex education regarding birth control should be made availble to all genders.
@9KJRS9X3wks3W
Anti-abortion. Do not call it pro choice or pro life. I oppose ABORTION. I am anti abortion. I am also pro choice: choose in the bedroom, choose between 20 types of contraception.
@9KG22MR4wks4W
Pro life, but from the view abortion needs to be legal to reduce further mental and physical trauma to the mother
@9J3L3H2Conservative 3mos3MO
Pro choice, but it can only be done by agencies that adhere to strict regulations and have special licenses. It should also be offered by the NHS
@9HX7MKN3mos3MO
Pro choice but in the case of a fertility crisis pro life apart from in the case of rape, incest or danger to mother or child
@9HTJYRSConservative3mos3MO
Pro-life, including for victims of rape and those who engage in incest; but allow where there is danger to the health of the mother. We should greatly improve children’s social services and also improve the sex education curriculum.
@9GC3RGW5mos5MO
Pro-choice. A woman should have the right to make the decision for themselves. Also we should provide better sex education and access to sexual health and social services.
@9GBG4HD5mos5MO
Pro-choice, those who make the decision need to live the social consequence but also cases of rape and incest take too long for a decision to be made
@9G8S5XJ5mos5MO
This is not a simple pro life or pro-choice issue. I support an abortion ban after the first three months when the rights of the unborn child should attract legal protection. Abortion decisions should never be taken lightly. Providing birth control, sex education, and more social services will also help reduce the number of abortions
@9FXHRMC6mos6MO
It is a woman's choice. Only her opinion and her judgement matters. No one has the right to agree or disagree or judge her decision.
@9JHYPPS2mos2MO
Pro-life in all cases, but allow doctors to decide to save the mother rather than the child in life-threatening cases, and work with charities to support single mothers or adoption of unwanted children.
@9JG967S2mos2MO
Pro-Choice, and abortion laws should be the same regardless of whether the child has Down’s Syndrome
@9J3PXNN3mos3MO
Pro-life, but allow in cases of rape, incest, within the first three months or a danger to the mother or child
@9HQSR2G3mos3MO
Pro - Choice. The government doesn't have the right to ban people's freedom of choice, and people have the right to their own beliefs. However it should be banned after 3 months, unless there are unforeseen circumstances which threaten the quality of life of the mother of child. Instead we should provide sex education and birth control too prevent abortions.
@9GZSCZP4mos4MO
I think people should be better educated in sexual matters and take such relations more seriously, rather than believing they may be frivolous with their bodies and abort children later. I am pro-choice strictly on medical grounds. I support abortion of children with genetic defects which would cause harm to the child.
@9GJ4MT75mos5MO
Pro choice but their should be a time limit except cases of rape, incest or danger to the mother in which there should be no time limit
@9GH9YLF5mos5MO
Pro-choice, but aborting a child solely because that child is disabled should not be allowed. Disabled people deserve to live, abled people should not be making that decision for them. Especially since their decision is inherently ableist.
@9GDTBXJ5mos5MO
Pro-choice, but allow only allow tax-covered healthcare to pay for cases of rape, incest, low income, or danger to mother of child. All else should be paid by the mother herself if she's deemed fit to raise the child.
Pro-choice, but both parents should be involved in that choice unless one of those parents raped or sexually assaulted the other. There should also be better birth control, sex education and social services provided by the government to reduce the number of abortions necessary.
@9FJTRQQ6mos6MO
Pro-choice, with a mandatory pre-op appointment with an advisory councillor to discuss the situation and provide support where needed.
@9FCJK6X6mos6MO
Pro-choice but ban after the first 20 weeks. and providing birth control and sex education will help reduce the number of abortions
@9F6MT9P7mos7MO
Abortion is murder,say no to murder!
@9F5XTD7Conservative 7mos7MO
Pro-Life Unless you are under 18 and/or got pregnant from Rape. Or if the child would have little to no quality of life.
@9F5P6F67mos7MO
Changes over time as science develops
@9DXR5CD7mos7MO
Pro-choice up to the point of the Viability Standard. Once the standard has been reached and exceeded, then abortion must be prohibited.
@9D4CKK28mos8MO
No abortion after 24 weeks unless there are special circumstances where the mother may abort the fetus after 24 weeks.
@9D2QSTD8mos8MO
Pro-choice, but also allow the father to opt out of providing financial support if the mother chooses to proceed with pregnancy if he doesn't want to
@9D2Q9YK8mos8MO
Pro choice but it should be limited to 18-20 weeks
@9CXN88RConservative8mos8MO
Pro-choice, but ban after first six months and allow in exceptions afterwards in cases of rape and risk to mothers and child’s life
@9CX6RQS8mos8MO
Pro-Choice and ban after 6 months, but allow in cases of rape , incest, or danger to the mother or child.
@9FM6CLM6mos6MO
Pro-choice, and the father should also have the ability to formerly object to abortion/keeping the child.
@8PMR63Z3yrs3Y
I support abortion but it’s shouldn’t be used as a contraceptive.
@emmapearson3yrs3Y
pro life but don’t think i have the right to take away the choice from others who are pro choice.
@9BBYWHZ12mos12MO
Pro-life. It is the mother's decision if they have an abortion or not. No one else should make that choice for them.
@9B88THNConservative12mos12MO
Pro-choice before a certain amount of weeks (12 to 16) however if the child has a huge health defect or is made from rape or incest, abortion should be available after that and should be greatly encouraged.
