Abortion is a medical procedure resulting in the termination of a human pregnancy and death of a fetus. In 2013, the Oireachtas approved the Protection of Life During Pregnancy Act which allows abortion to be performed on women whose lives are endangered during pregnancy. Proponents of abortion rights claim that since the 1970s more than 170,000 Irish women have left Ireland to have abortions and the ban is discriminatory towards women. Opponents of abortion argue that unborn fetus’s should be afforded the same rights as human beings.
Pro-choice, but the government should not encourage or fund any abortions since a significant proportion of citizens/taxpayers have a moral objection to them

A woman has a right to abortion if she has been sexually abused or if birth control failed, banning abortion will only create a massive problem of unwanted children
If child has no disabilities it must be illegal to got through abortion, if the child does have disabilities they are more than welcome to, a child can't be aborted due to gender
@9BCSPSW1yr1Y
Massively anxiety inducing
@99WGD8J1yr1Y
I am neutral. I am not in favour of abortion unless it’s for a good reason. But I am not very against it either.

Abortions and end the rules new Zealand and women change of life's without learning uplifting basics standard sexual rapes by gangs member of new Zealand and Australia troop meeting with unkeianes and russian education teams
@8YLXLQPSocial Democrats2yrs2Y
Abortions should be the last resort but allow it when there is danger to the mother
Pro-Life, but allow in cases of rape, incest, or danger to the mother or child
Providing birth control, sex education, and more social services will help reduce the number of illegal abortions (including Irish going to foreign states),
Offer free vasectomies to all male 6th year & college students to lower unplanned pregnancies as well
(men make women pregnant)
Offer Long run contraceptives or fallopian tube tying to females in the same group.
And we should bring in safe access zones around hospitals and healthcare centers as women get harassment anyway
If it had the death penalty, the patriarchy and sexism of modern society would still be desperate women who think it is truly the only choice they have.

@8XFLST72yrs2Y
There should be terminations for exceptional extreme cases
Pro-choice, and providing birth control, sex education, and more social services will help reduce the number of abortions, but ban after the first 12 weeks. Too dangerous for the mother if full ban.
@8PKJLMC3yrs3Y
Pro Choice. But not funded by taxpayer money.
I categorically support abortions because if they are banned it can lead to death in certain cases. I have in mind that if the life of a pregnant woman is in danger because of the poor development of the fetus or some other health problem and if abortions are prohibited, it can be dangerous. Every woman should be able to decide for herself what to do with her body. I STRONGLY SUPPORT ABORTION.
@9JB2VW23mos3MO
i believe in a womens choice to her body, however, i dont agree with wanted pregnancy loss that requires medical termination, being treated the same as elective abortion
@9HSX74ZFianna Fáil4mos4MO
Pro-life, but allow them to abort if its rape incest or danger to mother or child and financially can’t be sustained
Pro-life, even for victims of rape and incest, and provide financial and social aid for mothers in need
@9HD2Q4V5mos5MO
Neutral. But also believe more in solutions to reduce teen pregnancy and pregnancy itself,but I leave that to experts
@9H6K7V65mos5MO
There is very severe circumstances where abortion is nessesary, but I believe people shouldn’t forget it’s still murder. Life is being taken away from another human. It shouldn’t be governments decision what people do with their body but I believe abortion should not be idolised or promoted and the harsh truth of how devastating they are needs to be recognised. Abortions are a last resort and that option should be there for a person who feels they have absolutely no other choice. It’s worth noting that a pregnancy interfering on university or career is not a valid reason to end a life. Absolutely everyone in Ireland has access to the cheapest and most effective form of contraception- condoms
@9GPPGBH6mos6MO
Abortion should be allowed for instences were the child will have an impacted life due to deformations and certain illnesses which would make the life of the child harder
@9F64JMFIndependent7mos7MO
They should do whatever they want for the baby
@9CH96Z410mos10MO
Pro-choice, with a ban after three months unless there is harm to the mother and an increase in services around protection, education and child care
@9C9FBTM11mos11MO
I dont believe that penguins cannot fly, I've seen it before
@9BR39PC12mos12MO
Pro-Life except if the mothers life is at risk
@9BLQVTN12mos12MO
Pro-life except if the mothers life is at risk
@9BJNKFB12mos12MO
Vasectomies are safer, easier, faster, cheaper, reversible, more responsible and unnoticeable while sparing women and babies from the experience of abortion, a bad life and dangerous major surgery and drugs. This should be available as a norm and promoted from a young age. The current system creates misery, death and misogyny. Abortion can be merciful but should be done before heart beat and if necessary after that, be strictly funded or available
@9BBWHKXIndependent1yr1Y
I support a ban after 15 weeks with exceptions for rape, incest, life of the mother, etc, extending beyond that deadline.
@99HXXBB1yr1Y
I think it’s up to the master
@99H53BL1yr1Y
Pro choice but people shouldn't just be doing it all over the place
@98V5BH51yr1Y
Pro-Life but don't feel the right to tell others what to do or the government to do so.
@98KBVC31yr1Y
Pro life but support birth control and contraception
@98HP2R91yr1Y
Allow abortion only in the case where the woman’s or baby’s health is in danger.Or if the baby is known to have already passed away.
@97ZG8KN1yr1Y
Pro Life but allow in case of danger to danger to the mother and child.
@97YKM2H1yr1Y
Pro-Life and then put child for adoption
@97YB2KJ1yr1Y
Pro-choice, but I maintain it is technically the ending of a human life. People should have the right to take the moral decision for themselves of whether to end the, very premature, life of their unborn born, who will not know that their life was ended.
@97Q84D41yr1Y
Abortions should be the last resort & for extreme cases & a danger to the mother or child in other cases Abortions should be restrictive
@96QHBLJ1yr1Y
Pro-Life, however abortion should be allowed in the cases where the mother's life or health is at risk because of the baby, rape or incest.
@96M78H92yrs2Y
@95CMVB62yrs2Y
I neither agree nor disagree
@92V28YZ2yrs2Y
Only if the women's dying
@92FXL4M2yrs2Y
Pro-choice but ban during the last 3 months unless it's a threat to the mothers life
@8Z3K9682yrs2Y
It’s not good if it is in the first trimester then do it after that that’s just murder. If u don’t want a kid don’t have sex without a condom. But if u don’t want to keep it give it to adoption.
@8Z2BW5SSocial Democrats2yrs2Y
Pro-choice, only if was a rape, incest or danger to mother or child
@8YM3DLC2yrs2Y
pro choice. but the father should have just as much of a say as the mother
@8XNSQXL2yrs2Y
Abortion should be maid aleagal
Pro-Life, but allow in cases of rape, incest, or danger to the mother or child
Providing birth control, sex education, and more social services will help reduce the number of illegal abortions (including Irish going to foreign states),
Offer free neutering to all male 6th year & college students to lower unplanned pregnancies as well
(men make women pregnant),as
Offer Long run contraceptives to females in the same group.
And we should bring in safe access zones around hospitals and healthcare centers as women get harassment anyway
