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.Conservativedisagreed…2yrs2Y

Pro-life

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.

 @93XHFQCanswered…4yrs4Y

Pro-choice because it is the women’s body so it’s their choice in what to do and nobody else’s

 @9MN4P2Sdisagreed…2yrs2Y

Let's not forget there are TWO bodies in the woman's body. For nine months, the woman is responsible for herself and ALSO another human.

 @9PP2YLWcommented…2yrs2Y

Pro-choice

A fetus is not a body nor a person. If the woman wishes it to become one, then she can get the help and support provided by society. If she cannot or does not wish to be an incubator, at great pain distress and damage to her health, then we cannot live in a society where she is forced to be one. If a human wishes to be pregnant then great, if a human wishes not to be pregnant, that is great too.

 @93VGXT3answered…4yrs4Y

Pro-choice in all scenarios however increased education and free contraceptives will naturally reduce the amount of excess abortions required

 @8S2PQLZLiberal Democratanswered…5yrs5Y

Let women decide this

 @9PP2YLWcommented…2yrs2Y

Pro-choice

Indeed. Why is this such a problem for some people, to understand that women are human beings who have the Right to decide what they want for their lives? And don’t give me the ‘the fetus is alive too’ nonsense. We know this is not true or it wouldn’t be inside another living being; there is more than enough research into this topic to know that a fetus is just that for the first 4 months.

 @8RNJF8Nanswered…5yrs5Y

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

 @8Q5Y3FWanswered…5yrs5Y

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.

 @962VZL8answered…4yrs4Y

Pro-choice. More money should be invested into education, keeping young women sage, social services and birth control.

 @8W855JCConservativecommented…5yrs5Y

Pro-life, and I categorically oppose abortion in every single case, including rape and incest. No exceptions.

 @9PP2YLWcommented…2yrs2Y

Pro-choice

A female to you is not a human then, which means you do not see females as human and negates your opinion on this topic, which is the accepting that female humans are human and must be treated as such to live in a civilised society.

 @8SLXW43answered…5yrs5Y

Only if its the result of trauma. And not used as another form of contraception

 @9NLKPW9answered…2yrs2Y

Pro-abortion, everyone woman should have the right to decide if they want to terminate a pregnancy at any stage. Life doesn't start until the baby is born. Specialist should determine at which point a pregnancy can be terminated safely for the mother.

 @9MY8X8Canswered…2yrs2Y

Pro-choice and victims of rape which result in pregnancy should be given more support than they currently are in their choice.

 @8SNKB6Wanswered…5yrs5Y

Abortion should be a couples decision rather than just the women's, so therefore if a man doesn't want to pay child support if the decision is made to keep a child then it should be his decision.

 @8M8KXQRGreenanswered…6yrs6Y

Pro choice with heavy counselling for the mother to take to term after mid-pregnancy (earliest known survivable premature birth). Ultimately it should remain the mother's decision.

 @93P794Ranswered…4yrs4Y

Pro-choice, but if the female has been a victim of rape, then abortion should be the only option

 @8KJS969answered…6yrs6Y

The right to safe and legal abortion is a fundamental human right. Abortion performed by a certified clinic or hospital should be allowed at any point between conception and viability, subject to a 5-day waiting period. After the first trimester, 2 doctors must consent to treatment.

 @8M9SM86answered…6yrs6Y

Pro-choice, but a woman should be sterilised if they have more than two abortions.

 @8SG9YF5Labouranswered…5yrs5Y

Pragmatic Pro-life, incentive and support women through government funds and connecting them to private charities that can help them care for themselves and the babies. As well as educations and job opportunities - family courts may also be involved to see if they can make stable and safe home space.

 @93K7SD7answered…4yrs4Y

Pro-Choice, but third trimester terminations should need exceptional medical grounds.

 @8RZJ2XPanswered…5yrs5Y

Allow abortions under 3 months. Ban on over 3 months but exeptions on a case to case basis for those who have been raped, for those who feel their mental health will be severely effected if they give birth or similar situations.

 @8FTGQXTanswered…6yrs6Y

Pro-life, but allow in cases of rape, incest, or danger to the mother or child and Ban after the Two Months mark also Incentives and support needs to be give to Single Mothers and Low Income Families

 @8TM8XH6answered…5yrs5Y

 @BDPLX8Sanswered…1mo1MO

Pro-choice up until 24 weeks, at which point it should only be allowed for medical reasons or cases of rape and incest. We should also be providing more resources to support people like sex education.

 @BCW3YH8from Florida  answered…2mos2MO

Pro choice but ban after 20 weeks unless life of mother is at risk or fetus is determined unviable.

 @BCLSMCF answered…3mos3MO

Pro choice, but with more support for the woman to make the choice in difficult circumstances and time limits on when they allowed.

 @BDHDCMHanswered…1mo1MO

if it is rape i agree to abortian but if is just because you want to get rid of a kid i dont think it should be aloud

 @BCX46BSanswered…2mos2MO

Pro autonomy. The way this subject is always discussed is ridiculous. No - one CHOOSES an abortion. It's not a day in the park! Whether a developing embryo/fetus is alive and human is scientifically obvious. Saying otherwise is intentionally stupid and inflammatory.
But No-one should be forced to have their body used by another person for any reason. Not By government, family or religious institution.
Acknowledge the loss. But people have the right to decide what happens to their body without coersion.
And tougher penalties for those who commit rape, especially if it results in a pregnancy, regardless of whether the mother decides to continue the pregnancy or not.

 @BC2TR34answered…3mos3MO

People have the right to choose but I am personally pro life. Abortion should be legal but it’s morally wrong.

 @BB8D3D9answered…4mos4MO

Pro-choice, anytime for medical reasons, rape and incest. But should be limited after so many weeks along for other reasons.

 @B9ZLTM6answered…4mos4MO

Pro-life, but rigourous sex education should be required in various stages throughout one's school life, from learning about body parts in pre-school to more advanced and explicit education in secondary school/college.

 @B95KYZZLiberal Democratanswered…6mos6MO

Pro-choice, with reasonable time limits, and offering more contraception, sex education, and social services to reduce abortions.

 @B6ZMWBGanswered…9mos9MO

Pro-choice, but should be banned after 3 months & social support should be provided (as mentioned above) to reduce the number of abortions

 @9NZ3BFLanswered…2yrs2Y

I am all for abortion as long as it’s early on and as long as you haven’t had one within the last 5 years. I think people who have had children removed from their care for good should be forced to go on implant or be forced to abort if pregnant again

 @9NXHSGBanswered…2yrs2Y

Pro-life but the mother can choose in certain circumstances to release the child into the care of the state. Abortion should only be sanctioned in medical emergencies.

 @9PP2YLWcommented…2yrs2Y

Pro-choice

You cannot force a human being to produce a child if they do not consent to it.

 @Jaakato answered…2yrs2Y

Either the law needs to be updated to match the medical advancements that have been made following its adoption, or it may remain unchanged but with clarification as to why it has not been reformed to fit the principles it was founded on.

 @9NV3PVCanswered…2yrs2Y

Pro-choice but unless the pregnancy arises from irresponsibility, abortion is illegal. The father also has a choice to be involved.

 @9NT65BZ answered…2yrs2Y

Pro choice but under 3 months unless there is a risk of death to the mother or baby. Also do not agree with late abortions for chromosome disorders

 @9NRH9BJanswered…2yrs2Y

Pro choice, but men should also have the right to choose to not have responsibility for a child, if decided pre-birth

 @9PP2YLWcommented…2yrs2Y

Pro-choice

Let us start by solidifying the rights of the female. Rights of the male will follow.

 @9NQCGDNWomen's Equality answered…2yrs2Y

Pro life but make birth control widely available. Abortion only to save the life of the mother or in the case of birth defects.

 @9NNWBG8answered…2yrs2Y

I am personally pro-life, but I do not think others should do as I would. I feel we have agreed on this issue as a collective now.

 @9NNPFQHanswered…2yrs2Y

I think everyone is entitled to a mistake but people who have multiple should be given a contraceptive rod put in their arm whilst under anaesthetic

 @9NMTZF8answered…2yrs2Y

Time must be reduced, and all circumstances considered, not a pro one way or the other - it is a complicated issue that cannot be reduced to one answer

 @9MQVJQYanswered…2yrs2Y

I believe the issue is too nuanced for a single stance solution. I believe in the freedom of choice, but also that there is a human value in the feutus. We should allow a decision to be made by a trained mediator, with clear guideline on what is acceptable. I don't believe that one should be permitted to end a life without a considerable reason.

 @9MQSTGRUKIPanswered…2yrs2Y

Women that become pregnant and rely on state handouts, Drug addicts , alcoholics , special needs , phycological disorders , rape , incest and any type of mental disorder, should have an abortion by law

 @9MPZR7D answered…2yrs2Y

Somewhere in-between Pro-Choice for the first 12 weeks but after allow in cases or rape, incest, danger to the mother or child or finally with proof of specific genetic conditions (up to the current legal amount of weeks)

 @9MPSLZNanswered…2yrs2Y

Pro choice for the 1st trimester for any reason, easily accessible without the need for doctor permission. After this only if the fetus has severe disabilities, unlikely to survive pregnancy/birth or real risk to the mothers life.

 @9MMP8S4SNPanswered…2yrs2Y

As a man i belive tbat my opinion on abortion should not matter and woman should debate this matter instead

 @9MM9HWSLabouranswered…2yrs2Y

Mostly pro-choice. I think you should have a reason to have the abortion but, then again, who gets an abortion without a reason? Also, as a man, not really my place to comment lol.

 @9MD996Qanswered…2yrs2Y

I would say I am ambivalent on these issues because I feel it is not within my field to talk about an issue that affects a specific group of people

 @9MCNSCVanswered…2yrs2Y

Pro-Life, but the government needs to solve many issues making childcare difficult- e.g underfunded education, poverty- before making it illegal.

 @9M8QX9Vanswered…2yrs2Y

Abortion should not be criminalized, but we should put more funding and effort into providing resources and support services so that women feel they have viable alternatives.

 @9M3SYT8answered…2yrs2Y

This should be decided by the female in question. As a male, my role is only to support the decision either way

 @9LVZWY4answered…2yrs2Y

More education services, more social services which can help out anyone who needs to make that choice.

 @9LLTYD5answered…2yrs2Y

Pro-choice, but in moderation - in cases of rape, incest or a danger to the mother or child is fair but if a woman has multiple abortions or uses abortions as a form of birth control/contraception, that shouldn’t be allowed

 @9GBG4HDanswered…3yrs3Y

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

 @9G8S5XJanswered…3yrs3Y

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

 @9FXHRMCanswered…3yrs3Y

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.

 @9N8RYZ9answered…2yrs2Y

Pro-choice

No man should control a woman's right to abortion

No man or misogynistic government should be allowed to control what a woman does with her body, which everway the fetus is made.

 @BDF72CLanswered…1mo1MO

Pro choice but with a cut-off beyond which it should be determined by strict criteria

 @BDCKVDVanswered…2mos2MO

 @BD39LT4answered…2mos2MO

Pro-life except in cases of rape, incest or serious danger to the mother or child, but I don't think the government should ban it.

 @BD37SV9answered…2mos2MO

It depends on the context of abortion. If it is due to discrimination (e.g. selective abortion due to their gender or ability), then it should be pro-life for the child. Otherwise, it is pro-choice for other circumstances. But really, just because someone is pro-choice, there is no need to attack other women because she wants a child.

 @BCZ9LK5answered…2mos2MO

Pro-Choice but the time for abortion should be shortened to less than 10 weeks

 @B8P4DSJanswered…7mos7MO

Pro-choice. I support it but personally believe individuals do not have a right to impress their opinions on others.

 @B8DPGZ6Liberal Democratanswered…7mos7MO

Engaged Abortion

Pro-choice, I'm a bit squeamish when it comes to abortion but it is the woman's body, not yours. However, I would ban after the baby becomes viable.

 @B89N5M3answered…8mos8MO

I think abortion should be illegal unless it was rape, incest or the mothers life was in danger. However the baby shuld not be killed after 3 months

 @B7ZZ2GManswered…8mos8MO

Pro-choice; I don't agree as I value life and don't appreciate how many people use it as a form of birth control for casual sex. but the government has no right to ban it or ever take away a woman's right to decide what she does with her body.

Also, providing birth control, sec education and more social services will help reduce the number of abortions. For example, it is not at all well known that if you're over a certain weight the morning after pill is less effective.

 @B7T4BHYanswered…8mos8MO

Generally pro choice but believe it is silly to dismiss the fact that abortion is the ending of a life, and do not believe that it should be allowed for simply disliking an aspect of your baby, for example the gender.

 @B74RJZ7answered…9mos9MO

Pro-choice, but only as the lesser of two evils and only before the third trimester with the exception of threat to life.

 @B6WFF53answered…10mos10MO

Pro-choice, I don't agree but I agree even less with forcing women to carry unwanted pregnancies to term

 @B6KNRDRanswered…10mos10MO

Gender-specific issues should ideally be handled only by the gender it most affects, in this case women.

 @B62FY6LLiberal Democratfrom Illinois  answered…12mos12MO

Pro-life, but allow in cases of rape/incest before the baby gains a soul (around 4 months in); if the mother is endangered, then it is their choice to abort the baby

 @B5RSL6Ranswered…1yr1Y

Reduce by half and only make it legal in case if death and nothing else. Make elite academies for most children unwanted by their disgusting parents.

 @B5N86Z9Reform UKanswered…1yr1Y

Pro-life, but allow doctors the discretion to save the mother if both cannot be saved. Regardless, increase financial and counselling support (in partnership with private and charitable organisations) for mothers and families having children in circumstances where they might otherwise abort.

 @B4ZXXFD from Maine  answered…1yr1Y

Pro-choice, but ban after the first three months

It's not our choice to make, it's the woman's. Before 3 months the fetus is undeveloped and is not yet a human life and aslong as abortion occurs before human life forms then it is up to the woman

If the father wants the woman to have an abortion then he should be given the option to give up his rights as the father and legally not be connected in anyway to the child, including child support.

 @B2ZYHSBanswered…1yr1Y

Pro life but NOT right wing. Pro choice and PRO life but middle ground. I support the middle ground.

 @B2HM3NJanswered…1yr1Y

Personally Pro-Life, but don't want to force that view onto everybody else, so support access to abortion.

 @B26SFFFfrom Florida  answered…1yr1Y

in a perfect world pro-life, but because people don't have access to birth control and proper sex education, and because doctors should not fear being prosecuted for saving the life of the mother, pro-choice.

 @B26JGX8answered…1yr1Y

Pro-choice, but ban after the first three months and if over 3 months allow for the child once born to be adopted etc.

 @9WQKFWKanswered…2yrs2Y

I am Anti-Abortion, I do not accept the terms Pro-Life or Pro-Choice because such terms are no longer relevant in contemporary times, it has gotten to a point what you're either Pro-Abortion or Anti-Abortion and I side with those that are against Abortion so that makes me Anti-Abortion.

 @9W9PYH3answered…2yrs2Y

Pro-choice, but each case is unique and needs consensus between the mother, a physician and a psychiatrist.

 @9QDLP2Manswered…2yrs2Y

Reduce abortion by providing supported alternatives and no up to birth abortion. Rights of the child, right to survive after conception. Pro life but not by aggression or hatred towards pro choice.

 @9QCMWHWanswered…2yrs2Y

Pro-choice however every time birth control and other similar items are sold the buyers ID should be registered if it is bought every 3 months or more regularly that person should be banned from the purchase

 @9Q9Q6H7Reform UKanswered…2yrs2Y

I'm neither for or against abortions, I feel that it is down to the Individual's choice. However I believe Sex education should be taught earlier and Birth control products should be available in all Secondary schools and Pupils are able to go and talk to a sex education nurse who can advise on birth control.

 @9Q9LSTQanswered…2yrs2Y

This is a very personal choice and a woman should have the right to choose what is best for her and the unborn child
