Pro-life, but we should work toward creating a society where family planning is promoted and all families have economic security.

I think it's cruel to force lives into being, when they cant or wont be cared for and the Pro-Life folks don't care for them either. Once every child born is properly cared for, then we can begin to do away with this poor choice: abortion. But always for rape, incest, health reasons, etc.

After the mother and father assuming he is in the picture agree. If the father wants to keep the baby he should be allowed even if the mother does not.

I'm pro-choice for first 20-24 weeks. If no abortion by then, woman HAS made a choice. No abortion after point fetus would survive if born.

Abortion should not be a government issue. It should be left up to the individual.

Allow one abortion but tie tubes during procedure

Pro life, but it's not my right or the government's to ban abortion, and the government should not require taxpayers to fund it.

Mandatory counseling for girls under 16 if she chooses not to tell her parents and gets an abortion or even if she does tell her parents. While the decision might be the correct one, to terminate a baby beginning to grow inside a female is a traumatic one and one which will haunt her many years later as an adult. I am not saying they need counseling before abortion, simply afterwards.

Pro-life, except in cases of rape, incest, or danger to the mother or child's health while also providing proper amounts of sex ed in schools, birth control and social services reducing the number of required abortions but I have no right to force my opinion on someone else to force them to have the child.

The male and female have to agree to abort the fetus. If the male wants to have his child spared from abortion the female should have to deliver the baby and pay child support.

Pro-life, but society needs to expand access to providing birth control, sex education, and social services that could help reduce the number of abortions so it is only an option in extreme cases of rape, incest, or danger to the mother or child's health.

Prolife for me, pro choice for everyone else

Should not be used as birth control method, if not rape or incest the father should be allowed a say in the process, should not be easy except in case of rape, incest or danger to mother.

The abortion rate is a big problem. But, we have much bigger problems. Until we can stop killing each other in senseless wars, and killing our host planet, the general solution of Pro-Choice is the only that makes sense.

Abortion on demand, no limits, no explanation required! Birth control and sex education should be mandatory. A woman should have 100% autonomy over her own body and privacy.

I am against abortion though I do support a woman's right to choose. I recognize that not all people share my religious beliefs and that each person should decide what is best for their own life.

It should NOT be an option for birth control, but a safe option if needed to save a life, and in rape and incest cases. Placing a blanket ban on something that is a PERSONAL choice, should be left alone

Pro-Choice: Actions have consequences. You chose to have sex intercourse and got pregnant, the baby should live. You didn't choose, rape or incest, then immediate abortion should be available & the responsible party punished accordingly. No thinking - there was not any to begin with.

Limit time for abortion to pre-viability around 20-22 weeks unless continuing pregnancy endangers the mother's life.Insist on sex educational programs that are age appropriate and timely. Make information and access to birth control available to anyone of childbearing age.
Provide social services to men and women coping with unexpected and unwanted pregnancies
no matter what their choice about continuing pregnancy. Provide family therapy.

No questions ruing first trimester, counseling before procedure in second trimester, no third trimester abortions unless the mother's life is threatened. Mandatory (non abortion) birth control education in all schools and serious punishment for those who intentionally procreate without the ability or intention to provide for those kids.

Ban after first trimester, and require a neutral third party to provide information on all choices available (including abortion and adoption). Abortions would require first that the pregnant female obtain a referral from this organization, if that is the option she chooses.

When something is totally wrong with the pregnacy, then do what has to be done to protect the mother, otherwise, let the child come into the world and let society care and protect the child for the mother. Help the mother through the ordeal regardless of cost.

I am opposed to abortion but think criminalizing it, sending mothers, fathers, doctors, nurses and others to prison would be cruel and impractical. Without imprisonment what sense would criminalizing it be? I am Catholic but don't agree with or believe the Church's ban on contraception. I think the Church's and other people's "just say no to unmarried sex" abstinence solution is naïve, simplistic and unrealistic. People who have sex who don't want to get pregnant should use the most effective birth control they can. Pregnant women who don't…  Čitaj više want to become mothers should be encouraged to give birth and give their children up for adoption. The Church's prohibition on abortion to save the life of the mother is absurd and medieval. Anti-abortion activists too often are political conservatives who don't want to help poor women with children with personal charity or government assistance. Their political and philosophical views perpetuate abortions as much as pretending its nothing. I don't think abortion can be ended. It should be limited as much as possible by persuading women not to abort.

Woman's choice, The Government has no right to tell a female what she can or can't do with her body.

yes, but they should only be covered by insurance in cases of rape or incest

The government has no right to impose religious decisions on ANYONE.

Ban after first trimester UNLESS product of rape or incest, or danger is posed to the health of the mother or child.

Pro-choice, but the government should not be involved in funding it or financially supporting it in any way. Insurance should not be forced to cover the cost. And if abortion is deemed legal then criminals who murder pregnant women should not be held criminally responsible for the death of the fetus. It cannot be murder in one case and not in another.

I am male, therefore my opinion is not relevant.

It's a personal moral issue. Government should have nothing to due with it, including providing taxpayer funded abortion. If someone wants an abortion, they should pay for it themselves.

Rape and incest do not invalidate the value of the baby. Adoption is always an option. To save the life of the mother, I believe abortion is acceptable.

Pro choice, but there should be a time limit to terminate. In cases where window is missed, aid should be given if child is to be surrendered for adopted.

LET THE WOMEN CHOOSE AND LEAVE THE MEN OUT OF IT

Ban abortion after the second trimester

Ban after first trimester except in exceptional situations.

Each person needs to decide for themselves what is right. I choose to be pro-life, but pro-choice for other people.

Pro-Life, I don't agree with abortion, but its not my right or the government's to ban abortion

Prochoice until the 26th week. At that point the baby is viable outside the body and thus a human.

Sovereignty over one's own body is not surrendered to any government at any level. Federal mission statement, Constitution's Preamble, is to defend liberty, sovereignty of self is a critical aspect.

Federal government shouldn't be involved.
