Abortion is a medical procedure resulting in the termination of a human pregnancy and death of a fetus. Abortion was banned in 30 states until the 1973 Supreme Court decision Roe v. Wade. The ruling made abortion legal in all 50 states but gave them regulatory powers over when abortions could be performed during a pregnancy. Currently, all states must allow abortions early in pregnancies but may ban them in later trimesters.

Pro-life, and increase social services that make abortion completely unnecessary. More support for single mothers, poor families, teenage pregnancies etc
@9J29J7C12mos12MO
abortion should be an option and should not be banned, but it should also not be used instead of other contraceptives, only as a last resort
@9HJL8YB1yr1Y
Pro-life and against abortion in any cases.
There should also be a national law where, if it was discovered that a woman did a abortion in an illegal place or would do one, she should be arrested. If the abortion was consummated and the woman did show no signs of remorse, then she should receive the death penalty for that.
Everything written here would also be applied to the ones who encouraged or helped the woman do
the abortion procedure.
However, if the woman was physically or emotionally forced to do the abortion, then her penalty should be reduced.
