I take more of a middle ground stance on abortion but I definitely lean towards a pro-life ideology, mostly because I believe that the woman and the unborn child's perspectives are both equally important, that is why I believe that there is a time and a place for abortion being in the first 12 weeks and when the mothers life is at risk and I would leave the rape/incest issue up to the states. Side: Pro-Life!

So it's ok to kill children before a certain age? The way I see it is you're either for abortion or you're against it! Abortion is the cowardly way out of things! Why not put your child up for adoption if you're not ready or willingly to raise them? That's a win win! The child gets life and a licing family who may not have been able to have kids, and the mother can carry on with her life. Side: Pro-Choice!

Abortion is your choice that you make to change your life. No one is pushing you to do abortion, people who does abortion they are sinners in-front of God eyes. To do abortion you knows what are the outcomes from it, you know that you are taking a innocent life away which God has given to you as a gift. Gifts will never come in good way they also comes in bad ways but they are still blessings. This problem of abortion should be taken serious, to kill a innocent child from your worm it's a huge sin and you will be a killer. Side: Pro-Life!

1. With today's technology a woman can know if her baby will be healthy or not which will save her a lot of heartache in the future. 2. If the baby might kill her should she have to keep it (rare cases) 3. Teen pregnancies happen whether we like it or not. Should she be subject to criticism while the father leaves to a normal life or is perceived as "cool." Side: Pro-Choice!

I decide when I want to be a parent, and I decide when I'm ready to parent. Every woman who lives in a country with free abortions should honor that, be thankful for it, because many many women don't, and instead they will hurt themselves, put their own lives in danger, in order to remove the fetus. Side: Pro-Choice!

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: Pro-Choice!
