Why should others who don't even know you decide what you do with your life and body?

1% of abortions are due to rape and incest, the rest aren’t. I am pro-choice, but I disagree when you say they could just get an abortion WHENEVER THEY WANT. Fetuses after 23-24 weeks can feel pain, that’s when you’re actually hurting a baby.

I agree with this because my stance on abortion is that it is basic healthcare for women and it should be legal and available to all women.

i agree, why do MEN of all people get to decide what every woman in america gets to do with their own bodies. what about children who get raped, youre telling me theyre old enough to be a parent but not old enough to adopt a child because theyre a kid?? how does that make sense

I do agree, why should people that don't know you, who are probably old white men, decide what you can and can't do with your own body.

You should have every right to say what you want to do with your body. Nobody should be able to tell you what you can and cannot do with your body and your life. There are women who cannot afford a baby, so they decide not to keep it so that that baby doesn't end up having a terrible life. There are young women who get raped and do not want to keep the child because of the way of conception. Some women just physically aren't capable of raising or having a child, so therefore I stand with keeping abortion legal. The one thing I will have to say is that there should be reasoning docum…  Read moreents you have to fill out to have an abortion. Not just because you don't want a baby, but for a good reason without you making it all up. Coming from a 16 year old girl, I know teenagers are dumb and aren't always smart when it comes to using protection, that I don't stand for. If you want to think your grown and think "oh well that would never happen to me, I would never get pregnant this young" and then you do. I don't think an abortion is necessary for that. They made their decision to do it, so they get to live with that choice.

I completely agree. it makes no rational sense that a bunch of strangers with authority decide what a woman and her family wants. It takes away basic human rights and subjects women to forcibly do something that could be harmful to them

I agree with this comment about abortion because they make a really good point. It is not anyone else's choice but the person that is carrying the unborn fetus.

victims of rape and incest who unwillingly became pregnant should be allowed to have full autonomy to their own bodies, and they will most likely not have the resources to even take care of a baby if they were raped suddenly.

I agree with this statement and its better to get an abortion so theres not a kid that has parents that were forced to take care of it.

I agree because men should never have the right to make laws about women when they came out of a women. I know so many people whos parents did not want them and trust me it is so much easier for a child to be loved by a parent than go through anything a child goes through when their parents did not want them.

I agree, if someone doesn't want a kid they're just going to be a bad parent or look at that child with regret and hate. Plus orphanages have many kids but barely anyone wants to take care of one in their home.

I completely agree. Abortion should be a personal choice, sometimes it's medically needed, sometimes It's a rape, incest, whatever. Even if the person just didn't want the kid they aren't going to love and raise the child properly, the child will likely experience some form of abuse or neglect because their parent isn't fit to raise a kid.

While I agree these are 2 separate things, I 100% agree with the fact that no one else but me and me only can decide on what I do wIth my body.

Exactly people should have the right to choose what happens with their body and not be forced to do something that someone else is not going through tell you what you are going to do with your own body.

It is completely un-fair to those people who have suffered trauma, like rape to then have to keep the kid that was concived because of the raping, the mother will most likely resent the child anyways because it will remind her of what happened anytime she looks at it.

Many people think that abortion is wrong, but there are many victims of rape and incest who unwillingly became pregnant should be allowed to have full decision to their own bodies, and they will most likely not have the resources to even take care of a baby if they were raped suddenly. No one has the right to speak for someone else when they don't even know why they are taking the decision. When someone chooses to make Abortion is something that everyone else should respect.

Woman should have the choice on what to keep the child or not. No matter the situation. The United States and men today aren’t so good and for a child to live in the United States isn’t a great idea.

I fully agree. I truly think that other especially males should not be choosing what women do with their body. Not only does that take away women's rights to their own body but it also puts women's health in danger because many abortions are mad because of health or money issues that can lead to terrible health for women physically and mentally.

Abortion should always be an option no matter what, so many things happen where a person gets pregnant and is not ready or is just raped or forced.
