Yes I am pro-choice, I do not believe in late term abortions unless it is medically necessary. I am sorry but as a women if you couldn't figure out that you were pregnant until the child could be medically viable outside the womb, a few more weeks is a reality, because that is a baby if it can survive on its own without being inside you we have no right to kill it.

The fact that it happens at all makes it worth bringing up. For the sake of argument, cannibalism is an extremely rare part of murder, but it's still charged as a separate crime. So why should partial-birth abortions be ignored?

Yes, but not late term.

I'm fully pro-choice! I feel everyone should be able to make their own choices in life. Personally I couldn't take care of a child, and I feel I'm too selfish to carry a child and give it up. I'd rather end the pregnancy then have it and not be able to take care of it.

Yes I'm pro choice

I'm with Lildrummgurl7 on this one- when you make something illegal, it makes it way less safe. I'd rather see a society where women are able to make decisions concerning their future without government intervention. As a side note, I also do not think I would ever get an abortion unless medically necessary, but would leave that option open to others.

Yes. Women have the right to choose their future.

I believe the choice should be made by the woman.

"I strongly believe there are those who should never be parents and there are those who aren't ready to be parents. They should be allowed to have options that are in safe and sterile environments. Making abortions illegal would only resort desperate people into using coat hangers and other things that are very dangerous for their own health. It's going to do much more harm than good.

Late term abortions are rare because most people know if they want that child or not, sooner. However, I don't think they should be allowed if the unborn baby is at a stage where medically, it could survive. If that is possible, we should try to save that life. I'm sure someone would adopt those babies."

This. I'm -ing you so hard right now.

We've been trying to have a baby for 17 years so I would never, ever consider having an abortion. However, it's not my place to make this type of decision for anyone else and I would never want someone to decide for me so I'm pro-choice.

Opening one's checkbook is totally different than totally changing one's life and one's body. There is NO similarity between financially supporting a child, and carrying that child INSIDE your body, risking your life giving birth to it, and then giving up your life to take care of it. Nothing in common.

One is a slight financial commitment and the other is that person's entire fricking life. Opening one's wallet is not the same things as gestating and raising a child.

I've got three kids, if you want to know. There's more to gestating and raising kids than opening one's wallet.

Plus, it's a fallacy that anyone uses abortion, (they are too expensive and too hard to get) especially the rare and rarely used "late term" abortion for "birth control." Saying so is just Right Wing propaganda. In most states abortion simply cannot be performed after 18-20 weeks. I've known patients who didn't know that the fetus had things like Trisomy 13, 16 18, (incompatible with life most of the time) until after 20 weeks and had to go out of state to end the doomed pregnancy.

NO ONE can "walk into an abortion clinic the day before the baby is due" and request an abortion. Anyone who tells you things like this is LYING. That's not the way medicine works.
