Abortion is one of those controversial subjects in American politics. Democrats are pro-choice (abortion should be legal) while Republicans are pro-choice (abortion shouldn't be legal). What is your stance on abortion? Do you think that women should have the right to choose what to do with their body, or do you think that abortion is immoral and kills unborn babies.

 
For me, I've chosen other (or compromise). I think that abortion should be legal in the first trimester while states should decide whether or not abortion should be legal in second and/or third trimester.

 
I'll sum it up like this: if you have a religious objection to abortion, we have this thing called the separation of church and state and you should stay out of my life and I'll stay out of yours.  If you have a non-religious objection to abortion, it's illegal to abort past the time of fetal viability in most places in the United States, meaning there are no developed human beings being harmed - just clumps of cells.

That's all that needs to be said.

Render unto Caesar and all that.

 
what it comes down to is this... it is the woman's choice whether or not to have a child... it is HER choice, not the state's... HOWEVER... if she chooses to have the abortion (or have the child for that matter), it is HER responsibility to pay for it either way, not the taxpayers (through taxpayer money used to fund government paid projects). It's her choice, her body... the government doesn't OWN her OR her unborn child..

It's not really "abortions bad, y/n?"

It's a terrible line to draw. I'd say there's one line within the first trimester, one line between the second and third trimester, and another line between the third trimester to 1.5 years after birth. Babies in the third trimester can already communicate and play.

If you think that killing a 3 month old baby is okay, then third trimester babies are okay to kill too.

I think it all boils down to the fact that killing anything cute is unethical. Killing and eating fish, sure. Cats? Hell no. Killing kittens should be punished by jail time but not killing chickens.

A baby is significantly cuter than an unborn blood covered semi-baby, and thus unethical to kill.

Abortion is technically legal in the United States because of the Supreme Court case, Roe v Wade. However, individual states can set their own restrictions on abortion. For instance, in North Dakota, abortion is illegal once a woman has been pregnant for 6 weeks while in New York, abortion is illegal once a woman has been pregnant for 24 weeks. Some states don't have restrictions on abortion at all like Colorado, New Mexico, etc.

see, here is where I have my biggest problem with a lot of things... that 1 phrase, "is bad"... bad is not something that is set in stone as globally acceptable to all people as an exact set scientific value... "bad" is different for everyone based on their beliefs, values and perspectives. For instance, I believe that speeding is bad, whereas most of my fellow motorists believe that the sign saying speed limit is more like a sign that says speed suggestion. I believe that doing anything to advance your "lot" in life is NOT ok if it hurts another person in you doing so.... most of the "rat race mentality" people believe there are different acceptable levels of hurting another to advance your place in life.While I know that neither of these examples equate to the gravity of the whole abortion debate, they DO equate to abortion debates in the fact that personal opinions are used to form laws surrounding the topic...and one person's opinion isnt always everyone's opinion :)

 
Not only hentai teached me that abortion is bad but they teached me that you can be impregnated in many different ways

My Personal view is basically what Sargun said. While I can understand going against abortions during the 3rd trimester, most abortions happen before then. Also, the gov't should probably subsidize births, as some people probably cite cost as a reason for abortion. I think the claim that Republicans are pro-life is an inaccurate statement, it would be more precise to state that they are pro-birth.

Any politician in general can be quite misleading to persuade people to agree with them. It's like saying that 100% of people who drink clean water will eventually die. When asked why, they would say that drinking clean water leads to death by natural causes (age).
