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

where I would like to say that woman should have the right to do what they want I am afraid that some woman have taken advantage of that and used abortions as their own personal contraceptive, which is disgusting. If you don't want to get pregnant than learn how to protect yourself or don't have sex. Side: pro life

I'm definitley pro life. Abortion is killing an innocent child before it can do anything to fight back. Being pro choice to me is like giving permission to a serial killer to kill who he wants. It's just plain wrong. And there's really nothing anybody can say to change my mind about that. Side: pro life
