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.
@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
@8RNJF8N4yrs4Y
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

Pro-choice. More money should be invested into education, keeping young women sage, social services and birth control.
@8Q5Y3FW4yrs4Y
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.

Allow only in the case of failed contraceptive.
