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.

Allow only in the case of failed contraceptive.

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

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.
