That's a pro-choice position, not a pro-life one.
Which is why I put “prolife” in quotes.
I prefer people choose life.

I don't know how old you are. But young people get caught up in the moment. This has been the case since Adam and Eve. You're not going to change that.still cannot figure why women just don't take the pill......obviously this is not the total solution to the need for an abortion as some women cannot use the pill due to physical reasons but looks like it would eliminate part of the problem......in addition why have sex if you do not want a pregnancy......
Whatever the legal merits of Roe v. Wade, most Americans think the gestation guidelines are a reasonable compromise. A six week embryo is a choice. A twenty six week fetus is a child. In between is one hell of an argument.
Abortion should be legal in all or most cases.

No.
Abortion should be legal up to the point the developing cells have achieved a level of development such as to make it a baby human being.
IMO at that point and thereafter that human being deserves all the same protections as any other citizen of the USA.
The rare exception being if the continued development or birth FACTUALLY poses an extreme risk of death to the mother.
That will change over time. Once Americans learn that slaughtering unborn children is a bad thing they'll come to their senses.
How many no’s are men I wonder?
Interesting that Sandra Day O’Conner, the 1st woman on the SC & a Reagan appointment, wrote the decision on Roe v Wade. It’s mostly men who want to kill it.
I don't think we should be asking anyone about their medical decisions.Definitely not all cases but the only restrictions should be:
1. Eugenics should never be the reason.
2. After viability, it should be illegal.
Of course, by eugenics I am not talking about severe medical defects such as Trisomy 13. If she knows her baby's life will be very short and does not want to waste thousands of dollars keeping a seerely disabled infant alive, I don't care when it is diagnosed. But wanting to kill a fetus because of its sex, shape, or color? No way is that ever a good reason to have an abortion. I would ban that.
How many people only had sex when the were trying to get pregnant?still cannot figure why women just don't take the pill......obviously this is not the total solution to the need for an abortion as some women cannot use the pill due to physical reasons but looks like it would eliminate part of the problem......in addition why have sex if you do not want a pregnancy......
Republicans love to talk about babies. Then they refuse to help take care of them.
I voted yes. I will just note that the MS law being ruled on by the Supreme Court actually leaves abortion legal "in all or most cases".
It's about controlling women. That's it.They don't even talk about loving babies. Their only concern is lying about totally objective facts relating to human zygotes, blastulas, embryos, and fetuses.
Not in all or most cases after 15 weeks.
No.

That's not what the poll question asked. Most cases of abortion occur before 15 weeks. The vast majority, in fact.
It's about controlling women. That's it.
Because there's enough conservative women that think being controlled by men is the correct, biblical thing to do.So why are many women against abortion?
I don't think we should be asking anyone about their medical decisions.
No, I mean people going to have a medical procedure (abortion for example).The decision has not been made yet.

They don't owe us explanations.
Okay, you're being willfully obtuse.There is no explanation before she makes a decision. Duh.
