I know what many of you are thinking not another. The fact of the matter is abortion is a determining factor in politics.

So what's your opinion and why?

Are you asking how I feel about abortion itself or how I feel about abortion being a determining factor in politics

I'm personally opposed to it for reasons of not wanting a child (put a glove on), to cover an indiscretion, or other personal reasons (sue me for judmentalism :shrug:); I'm iffy in the case of rape; I'm categorically not opposed for medical reasons for dangers to the fetus and/or mother, though the entire situation is sad. In any case, I believe it's the mother's right to choose.

Many women will attempt to end an unplanned pregnancy. Always have, always will. So it's best that abortion is legal, safe and accessible.

I'm personally not a fan of abortion past the 5-6 month range as a birth control option. If it is medically indicated, either for the health of the mother or the general un-viability of the fetus, then that's a different story.

Anything below that range, I have absolutely no personal moral squirms about abortion as birth control.

At the end of the day, though, we have to choose, and I choose the right of the mother, who is a fully formed conscious adult, over that of a fetus. Too many issues arise when you try to restrict that woman's autonomy over her own body.

I support the legality of abortions through the second trimester, as this provides a woman with the greastest amount of time to make decisions. Beyond the second trimester (beyond 27 weeks), I do not legally support the abortion of a pregnancy after this point. After this point, when there there are are medical concerns which may jeopardize the pregnancy, labor is usually induced.

I have moral and religious objections to abortion, but fully support it being legal.

Yes, in special cases not because people are too lazy to use contraception

I always feel that woman should have the right I just disagree with the specific cut off time of when she can get an abortion. I wish what was called "late term" could be pushed back by about 2-3 weeks. But I've already discussed this several times in the past.

If I was supreme benevolent dictator, I would make 3rd trimester abortions illegal (with health exceptions)... but I would ramp up sex education and access to other forms of birth control, as well as free and readily accessible pregnancy tests.

Personally, I'm against abortion except in extreme cases, like where the mother's life may be at risk during conception. However, socio-politically, I support the woman's right to choose. I know this is a mind-blowing concept for some, but yes, it is possible to hold this idea.

In favor of abortion up to 20-24 week stage. After that there must be a medical reason or special circumstances reason to abort.

Sadly I was unable to cast a vote due to the narrowness of the choices.

I can understand why someone is pro-life and at the same time I am pro-choice

I am in favor of a woman having access to safe and legal means to terminate a pregnancy at any stage. Therefore, I support abortion before viability, and induced labor after viability, to put it simply.
