Is this a vote for what one would like to see as law or what one thinks is possible?Please provide more detail on your answer in comments.
By "extreme cases" I mean rape, incest, danger to mother, etc. You can pick this option if any apply, even if you don't agree with all of them. Feel free to specify which in comments.
For time cutoffs, please specify in comments a range of what you think would be acceptable to you.
Just out of curiosity...if you have trouble supporting yourself and get pregnant...I would say that to the pregnant woman, that is pretty "extreme". Would you?Please provide more detail on your answer in comments.

I would say first trimester to first half of pregnancy.I can live with that, if you want to select an option where that would matter. Please explain in a comment after you respond.
Abortion is a private medical matter. It should be between a woman, her family and her doctor only. The abortion laws in conservative states are were made by legislators trying to manage women's lives without their consent as they have done with women and their money.I clarified -- what you would like to see as law.

This is the danger of drawing a line. If you have your period every month and haven't had it in 3 months....something should click and tell you you're pregnant. But not every woman is so "regular".That would be good with me too if all pregnant women knew about their pregnancies before Week 10. Sadly, stuff happens later that make a fetal abortion necessary
There are abortion laws in liberal states as well. Are the the legislators in liberal States trying to manage women's lives without their consent?
No woman plans a late term abortion. They are legal only to stop legal barriers to providing them when they are life saving. That has been the case forever
No, I would say to the pregnant woman: "That was pretty stupid" if she did it by choice. Otherwise, that could be extreme.Just out of curiosity...if you have trouble supporting yourself and get pregnant...I would say that to the pregnant woman, that is pretty "extreme". Would you?
Interesting POV. If a woman decided she no longer wants to have a child at week 34 would you be OK with her having an abortion?Where is the option : It's done of my ****ing business. The choice is between a woman and her doctor.
If that doctor says it's a medical necessity to do so yes. But again I have no say in it. Not my pregnancy or my body.Interesting POV. If a woman decided she no longer wants to have a child at week 34 would you be OK with her having an abortion?
I appreciate your answer. I rely on science to help me make informed opinions. If science tells me human life begins at X weeks. I then have a stake in the ground. Same for the other medical procedures you cited.If that doctor says it's a medical necessity to do so yes. But again I have no say in it. Not my pregnancy or my body.
Would you (general) like people to be able to decide whether or not you are allowed to have that hip replacement or heart surgery? It's a slippery slope and I hope people don't go there but if they do they can expect a lot of push back. If I don't have say over what happens with my body you (general) sure as hell don't.
