Of course it should be banned. Abortion became legal in America in the 1800s and was banned -became illegal - when Americans got their consciences back through a spiritual revival across the nation. At the bare minimum abortion is the taking of one person's life. But when you consider that most people have children and their children have children, it opens a whole nother door regarding the massiveness of just one act of abortion. It equals genocide - on a massive, massive scale. My position is that abortion is unconscionable and should forever be banned and illegal. Side: Yes it should be

Abortion became legal in America in the 1800s and was banned -became illegal - when Americans got their consciences back through a spiritual revival across the nation. What's funny is that the number of abortions performed were higher when abortion was illegal than when it was legal, and since Roe vs Wade, abortions have continually decreased, especially since the 80s. And, keeping it illegal doesn't stop abortions from happening. It never has. So instead of a legal procedure, being conducted in a safe environment, we're going to end up with a bunch of illegal abortions, in unsafe and unregulated environments. At the bare minimum abortion is the taking of one person's life. At the bare minimum, it's the destruction of an accumulation of cells. Depending on the week or trimester, a zygote is not alive--can't even respond to stimuli, and therefore cannot be murdered or killed. But when you consider that most people have children and their children have children, it opens a whole nother door regarding the massiveness of just one act of abortion. No, it doesn't. A zygote isn't a "class of people", it isn't even a person yet. There are more murders My position is that abortion is unconscionable and should forever be banned and illegal. So? Unconscionable doesn't mean it should be made illegal. Side: no it should not

sigh I want to say yes for the most part. I think if people are mature enough to have sex (knowing the consequences of it), they should be mature enough to handle the fallout from it. It should not be used as a form of birth control. If you don't want a child, don't have sex. Simple as that. BUT, then the issue of rape comes into play. Along with the health of the mother at risk. These are two major issues that throw a wrench into my thoughts on abortion. But those would be the only reasons I feel abortion would be "acceptable". Side: Yes it should be

I personally believe abortion is an awful thing to consider for a person. If someone in my life tried to get an abortion, I would do everything in my power besides actually tying them to a chair to keep them from getting it. But I absolutely do not believe the government should ban abortion. That is completely out of their jurisdiction and authority. I believe greater education is the answer to prevent teen pregnancy and the fallacy that abortion is just another form of birth control. This will make the choice of aborting your child a much more serious question and the personal decision will be made more responsibly. Side: no it should not

I think that you shouldn't have more than.... 3 abortions. Birth control... there's an idea! I'm against abortion with the exception of rape and ABSOLUTE emergencies. I don't know... I've never been in that situation before, but accidents happen to everyone. So it's mos def possible. Side: no it should not

if abortion was illegal it would still occur. it would be dangerous to the mother as well. it was legallised in england out of pity for the women who felt they had to resort to it, to protect their well being and the rest. it should stay legal, it will always be something that happens. some women perform self abortions with metal clothing hangers and end up dead. if abortion was not possible at all meaning whether illegal or not just not physically possible then i bet a lot of the women who desperately need them would kill themselves. Side: no it should not

If someone is a strict constructionist who interprets the Constitution word for word, the sanction for abortion is given under the Fourteenth Amendment.
The Fourteenth Amendment of our U.S. Constitution defines a citizen “a citizen” at birth. If a woman is carrying a fetus in the womb, the U.S. Constitution does not designate the fetus as “a citizen.” It would take an amendment to the U.S. Constitution to declare a fetus a citizen. You have to be born in order to be recognized as a citizen. Therefore, a woman does have the right to choose. A fetus inside the womb is not designated as a citizen according to the U.S. Constitution so by default is not entitled to life, liberty, or prosperity. You have to be born in order to be endowed with those privileges. To conclude, neither the Federal government nor any of the States can deny a woman the right to choose.
If abortion is murder, abortion would have been terminated years ago due to the cruel and unusual punishment clause under the Eighth Amendment. Again, proof that a fetus is not recognized as a citizen of the United States of America. Side: No it should not
