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.

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

 @93VGXT3answered…4yrs4Y

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

Pro-Life, and Abortion in every single case should be treated the same as 1st Degree murder

 @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.
