cases of rape and incest should result in abortion, but is the mother is financially stable then the baby should be born

 @9GQQBWVDemocrat from California disagreed…5mos5MO

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.

 @9GQMBHC from New York disagreed…5mos5MO

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.

 @9GR8XN7 from Iowa disagreed…5mos5MO

The mother should be able to decide to keep or abort the baby, regardless of her financial situation

 @9GQQQ6V from North Carolina disagreed…5mos5MO

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  from California agreed…5mos5MO

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

 @9GKTD78 from Pennsylvania disagreed…5mos5MO

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.

 @9GL7WK2 from Massachusetts disagreed…5mos5MO

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

 @9GM92NH from Ohio disagreed…5mos5MO

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.

 @9GLBVPZRepublican from Missouri disagreed…5mos5MO

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  from Massachusetts agreed…5mos5MO

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.

 @9GTQY24 from Illinois disagreed…5mos5MO

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  from Texas disagreed…5mos5MO

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.

 @9GTVNZL from Wisconsin disagreed…5mos5MO

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.

 @9GTR4MG from Missouri disagreed…5mos5MO

I do not think fetuses that are unborn are living human beings. They are still growing and developing. If I were to birth out a 9 week old baby, it wouldn’t function, it wouldn’t be able to be characterized as I human because it is not done growing and forming yet. Therefore, I think abortions should be legal to anyone who wants one at any time during pregnancy as long as the abortion wouldn’t hurt the mother.

 @9FP59FN  from California agreed…6mos6MO

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

 @9FPBFGQ from New York agreed…6mos6MO

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.

 @9FPBFB9 from Minnesota disagreed…6mos6MO

That it should be up to the mother if she wants to keep the baby or not specially in that circumstances.

 @9GHPVK2  from Kansas agreed…5mos5MO

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.

 @9GHRL4KLibertarian from Utah disagreed…5mos5MO

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  from South Carolina agreed…4mos4MO

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.

 @9GYQ2J8 from Washington disagreed…4mos4MO

Anybody should be allowed an abortion. In cases of rape, Incest, minors, or simply for health, anybody should be able to have one.

 @9GYPP4Ndisagreed…4mos4MO

I think everyone should have the ability to get an abortion if they want or need one. If you otherwise your a bozo

 @9GYQRDR from Washington disagreed…4mos4MO

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.

 @9GYPXDG from Texas disagreed…4mos4MO

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  from PR agreed…4mos4MO

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.

 @9JT37HLRepublican from Virginia commented…2mos2MO

I do agree with such statement, yet it is a sin to have premarital sex.

 @9CKPDTW from PR agreed…4wks4W

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 Equality from California disagreed…4mos4MO

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.

 @9FPDH5S from North Carolina agreed…5mos5MO

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.

 @9G7X4NH from Pennsylvania disagreed…5mos5MO

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.

 @9G7VPLX from North Carolina disagreed…5mos5MO

 @9G7V5NQ from North Carolina disagreed…5mos5MO

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  from Texas agreed…5mos5MO

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  from Ohio disagreed…5mos5MO

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.

 @9GW75T5 from Missouri disagreed…5mos5MO

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.

 @9GW6N2K from Texas disagreed…5mos5MO

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.

 @9GW72TL from Kentucky disagreed…5mos5MO

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?
