cases of rape and incest should result in abortion, but is the mother is financially stable then the baby should be born
@9GQMBHC6mos6MO
The pregnant person should ALWAYS have the right to choose, regardless of the situation, but especially deserves the right to abortion in the case of rape.
It should first and foremost be the mother's choice. If she does not want or did not plan for a baby, then she should not be forced to carry it to term. Being financially stable does not mean you are prepared for or want a child.
@9GR8XN76mos6MO
The mother should be able to decide to keep or abort the baby, regardless of her financial situation
@9GQQQ6V6mos6MO
Its the womens decision on what she wants done to her body if it was or wasn't a cases of rape and incest .
@9GKFN3Y 7mos7MO
Pro-life unless the victim was raped or if its a danger to the mother or child because if you knew the consequences between having sex and conceiving a child then you need to follow through with it. And its not the babies fault you are irresponsible
@9GKTD787mos7MO
It's quite possible (and easy) to have protected sex and still get pregnant; condoms fail 13% of the time and birth control fails 9% of the time. So chalking it up to irresponsibility is dismissive and ignorant. And aside from that, prioritizing the rights of a glorified tumor over that of a mature human being is very backward logic.
@9GL7WK27mos7MO
While it may not be the baby's fault that they were conceived, regardless of how or why, it will inevitably affect their childhood and treatment once they are born. If a woman is being forced to have a child, if she is confident in the fact that she would be an unfit mother or is in an unfit situation to give birth to and raise a child, the child's life under this mother's care will be substantially worse than a child who was wanted and loved from the beginning. If the mother chooses to put the child up for adoption, the child is still entered into a corrupt system of foster… Read more
@9GM92NH7mos7MO
In America there is not enough education to prevent pregnancy and people glorify children like everyone wants them and every female needs them. Maybe if we could get free birth control or better education on sex then there would be no reason for abortions.
@9GLBVPZRepublican7mos7MO
Not everyone has the resources needed to prevent an unwanted pregnancy and as well as this accidents just happen sometimes. How good is the life of that unwanted child really going to be? Plenty of people neglect and mistreat children that they didn't want and the foster care system isn't much better. People should not be forced to birth children they don't want.
@9GTMQ8Y 6mos6MO
I believe that a fetus is a human with a determined fate/future from conception, and that abortions should only be done in cases that it's absolutely necessary for the pregnant persons' life is in danger. And should be considered murder if the procedure is preformed under any other circumstances, abortions should not be done past the 10 week mark.
@9GTQY246mos6MO
A fetus’ heart is not fully developed and beating until 17-20 weeks, while the sounds of early “heartbeats” are heard, they are actually electric pulses. I believe fully in abortions done before the 17-20 week mark and I don’t think they should even be in the same area as murder. That being said, doctors who do not believe in abortions should not have to perform them as we should respect people who don’t support abortions the same we expect to respect those who do.
@9GTPL5M 6mos6MO
A person cannot be forced to give birth to a baby that they either do not want or are not able to take care of. Giving birth to a baby is only the choice of a mother. The United States is growing increasingly more overpopulated, so there should be no concern to add as many possible births to our country.
@9GTVNZL6mos6MO
I believe that a woman should be able to chose if she wants an abortion or not, it is not anyone else's body. Say a 14 year old girl is raped, she should have an option to get an abortion due to the fact that she could die during birth. It is not considered murder because a fetus cannot move, think, or act in a fetus form.
@9GTYWHK6mos6MO
I believe that women should be allowed to have abortions up to the 16-week mark of their pregnancy. Any woman who doesn't feel capable of being a mother shouldn't be forced to have a child. From when a woman finds out they are pregnant before 16 weeks there isn't a baby formed yet it can't feel or hear or talk it's a spec.
@9FP59FN 8mos8MO
if it is a rape baby the victim should not be lead to keep the baby that is very traumatizing to the victim no one should go through that
@9FPBFGQ8mos8MO
I do agree, there are some instances where abortion is acceptable, like rape. But if you accidentally concieved a baby and don't want it, you should not have the option to abort it.
@9FPBFB98mos8MO
That it should be up to the mother if she wants to keep the baby or not specially in that circumstances.
@9GHPVK2 7mos7MO
Abortion should be illegal under certain circumstances. If you have been raped, the child is a product of incest, you are not financially able to care for the child, or if giving birth can risk the mother or child’s life then they can have an abortion.
@9GHRL4KLibertarian7mos7MO
Abortion should always be legal. The persons who's body it is should have complete and total control. We should worry more about the starving kids that already live here than the ones who aren't born yet.
@9GYJKRTConstitution 6mos6MO
Cases of rape and incest should allow for abortions. Underage minors should be able to have abortions. Legal adults who consented should not be allowed an abortion.
@9GYQ2J86mos6MO
Anybody should be allowed an abortion. In cases of rape, Incest, minors, or simply for health, anybody should be able to have one.
@9GYPP4N6mos6MO
I think everyone should have the ability to get an abortion if they want or need one. If you otherwise your a bozo
@9GYQRDR6mos6MO
Im in between with this response. First, I agree with the fact that people who have been raped, and/or didn't consent they should be allowed to have an abortion. Second, people who have consented and ended up getting pregnant is basically their fault or their doing for being reckless with their responsibilities.
@9GYPXDG6mos6MO
I think that any woman that is able to conceive a baby should have the choice to not have the baby I don’t see it as a life unless it’s born bc there is no consciousness in the womb
@9CKPDTW 6mos6MO
In the case of rape and danger to the mother the child is very likely to have a bad life and it will be a significant scar for the mother who had to endure a rape incident or is very likely to die from having the child. I the danger is to the child then it would just be mercy to stop its development before it can develop neurons and feel the pain of death. Lastly, in the case of incest, the child and the mother will be gravely affected socially and physically by the mother's decision of committing incest and the child's possibility of developing life-threatening and chronic illnesses that no human should have to deal with.
@9JT37HLRepublican3mos3MO
I do agree with such statement, yet it is a sin to have premarital sex.
@9CKPDTW3mos3MO
True but some people will sin regardless, so we can save the baby (or if any of the cases apply then do the procedure) while they repent for their actions.
@9H2H38WWomen’s Equality6mos6MO
Post partum depression will affect the mother regardless of if the loss of the child was intentional or not, In the case of rape there is always the fact that it was fate and it was meant to be.
@9FPDH5S7mos7MO
A child being born from a rape will eventually grow up and learn how they were created, and that'll cause mental turmoil for anyone, because who would wanna learn that their whole existence was created from a rape? But, if the sex was consensual from both parties then that child should be given a chance at a life regardless if the pregnancy was accidental or not.
@9G7X4NH7mos7MO
If 2 consenting adults have sex, and that results in a pregnancy. The US government should have no say in what happens to that fetus. You do not know the financial situation of those 2 adults. If those 2 adults are mentally available for that child.

@9G7V5NQ7mos7MO
I think Abortions should not be abolished because that person has an option to either keep the child or not it's their decision to either wanna keep their child or not it's not the government decision and me i don't believe in abortions causes it's just sad , and that person is going to want to go back and think about it and no matter to rape even though it's craul just keep the child because she or he might turn your life around make it even better no matter what.
@9GW47R7 6mos6MO
So many people want to adopt but are unable to, so it should be made easier to adopt and if the baby is unwanted then give the baby to someone who would cherish him or her. Furthermore, if you don't want a child, then don't have sex unprotected.
@9GW7GPBIndependent 6mos6MO
Everyone deserves a choice. There are so many reasons what someone could need an abortion and that is up to them and their doctor. What if it was because of Rape? What if it was because of a medical issue? What then? What if a condom broke - they weren't having unprotected sex. Look the bottom line is we have a right to choose that is up to us. Maybe someone wouldn't survive childbirth to put the child up for adoption. Maybe someone couldn't bear knowing they got raped and had to have the child even if putting it up for adoption. Who are you to force that on someone. - especially when the adoption process is so expensive, hard, and not all children are treated well.
@9GW75T56mos6MO
Having protected sex can still lead to pregnancy, just because a contraceptive is used does not automatically mean there is no possible chance of pregnancy.
@9GW6N2K6mos6MO
Not everyone who tries to adopt has good intentions when adopting. People get rapped they should not have to carry around something that reminds them of that every day. If 15-year-olds can't vote or adopt they shouldn't be forced to have a baby they don't want. When someone has a baby they don't want that where child abuse starts to take place.
@9GW72TL6mos6MO
I think abortions should still be made legal. Some people are victims of rape, so they did not have a choice to have unprotected sex. Nobody would want to carry the child of someone who ruined their life. Some may say that they could just put the child up for adoption, but who's to say they would have a good life with the new parents? Or if it stayed with the original parents, how would they feel knowing they were a child of something horrific?
@94DTQXB2yrs2Y
If we are truly pro-life, then why are we okay with exceptions? If being pro-life means to be anti-abortion, should we not be against abortion in all cases, no matter how the child is conceived. Abortion always takes the life of an innocent human being and harms women in more ways than one. Statistics show that 65% of women who have abortions deal with various psychological challenges afterwards. Abortion does not help women but harms them. There is no case where abortion is medically necessary due to medical advances.
@VulcanMan6 1yr1Y
“Statistics show that 65% of women who have abortions deal with various psychological challenges afterwards. Abortion does not help women but harms them.”
Actually, studies show that the vast majority of women who received an abortion feel relieved more than anything; after all, if you aren't ready/don't want to have a child, then having a basic medical procedure that achieves exactly that would obviously be a huge benefit for you. In fact, recent studies show that over 95% of women feel they made the right call in having an abortion: https://www.ucsf.edu/news/2020/01/416421/five-years-after-abortion-nearly-all-women-say-it-was-right-decision-study
@WhatisaWoman?12mos12MO
I don't care what studies you have, killing an innocent life, no matter how relieved the mothers say they feel, is wrong.
@VulcanMan6 12mos12MO
If someone is using your body without your consent, then they are fundamentally not innocent. Even if you consider a fetus to be "a life", it would still be perfectly justified to kill it so it doesn't continue to use your body. Even if you were connected to a grown *** adult person, who was hooked up to you to live, you would still have every right to sever that connection, even if it means killing him.
No other person has the right to use your body without your continued consent; not the government, not a stranger, not your family, not a fetus, no one. You have every right to stop them from using your body if you don't want them to, including killing them if necessary, because they are the one violating you and your bodily autonomy. They are inherently not innocent if they're using your body without your consent.
@ConceptualSynthesizerLibertarian12mos12MO
I totally get where you're coming from. Imagine a scenario where you wake up one day and find yourself connected to a famous violinist who needs your body to survive. You were never asked for permission, and now you're stuck with this person. In a situation like this, it would be understandable to feel the right to disconnect yourself, even if it means the violinist won't survive. That's the thing about bodily autonomy; it's a deeply personal and individual right that no one should be able to violate, regardless of the consequences. So, what are your thoughts on the importance of personal autonomy in shaping our moral and ethical decisions?
