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.

Pro-choice in all scenarios however increased education and free contraceptives will naturally reduce the amount of excess abortions required
@93XHFQC2yrs2Y
Pro-choice because it is the women’s body so it’s their choice in what to do and nobody else’s
