So I made this thread because I would like to know what everyone's position is on this topic. I know abortion is a very controversial issue, and as such, I would like to have a civil discussion on the respective topic.

Opponents of abortion assert that the killing of the fetus is murder, and is akin to killing a human adult. Other concerns include the argument that abortion is an act of discrimination against the unborn, and that an abortion can increase the likelihood of getting breast cancer. Many arguments support anti-abortion/pro-life ideology often have ground originating from religion. For instance, the Roman Catholic Church ardently suggests that life begins at conception, and as such, abortion is wrong because it deprives the fetus of a future. Similarly, some pro-life Christians use various scriptures (including Luke 1:15 and Jeremiah 1:4-5) to proclaim their pro-life stance.

For proponents of abortion, concerns over women's rights is by far the greatest rationale. Pro-choice adherents avouch that a woman has the right to terminate her pregnancy, since it is her body. Moral philosopher Judith Thomson, a vocal supporter of abortion, drew parallels with forcing a woman to bear a child to forcing a person's body to act as a dialysis machine for another person who has kidney failure. Others argue that by having the government enforcing bans on the procedure, it creates a double standard that favors males. As such, this can be interpreted as a form of female oppression under a system that encourages inequality. Other arguments include sexual emancipation.

So the question still stand. Are you pro-life or pro-choice, and why?

Good luck.

Yeah, let's just not do this pls.

Pro-choice. Her body, her child, her decision.

MTE

I think that women should have the right to choose.

Pro-choice cuz no woman should be told what she should do with her life or body. And I believe life begins outside the womb.

Took and entire course on this in college.
Which led me to opinion if being pro-choice.

Pro Choice. It's none of my business what someone does with their body.

All that needs to be said.

I think this thread can be closed now, we all agree.

at a certain point i think they shouldnt be able to but like if less than 2 months okay...

Depends on the situation. If the pregancy can kill the mother or if she was raped but got pregnant, I think she could have the right to choose.

Pro-choice. I, as a woman, am in control of my own body, not the government. I can make my own decisions. People say that getting an abortion can cause a woman to have mental trauma, but forcing a woman to carry on a pregnancy for 9 months and give birth to a child she did not want is traumatizing too. Even if there is adoption, maybe the woman just doesn't want a child of hers in the world? I have mental illness problems that run in my family, as such I don't want biological children. Even if I got pregnant and gave the baby up for adoption, the child would still have my genes which in my eyes are defective. In the end, a woman does not need a reason for having an abortion. She doesn't need to provide one to anybody. It is hers and hers alone.

prochoice for so so many reasons.
someones personal decision with their own body shouldn't affect anyone else.
it's more offensive that people feel the need to be so pushy and just blatantly rude towards people who choose to have an abortion imo.

No.

NO.

This will not end well.
