What is your stance on abortion?

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.

Abortion is murder and should be treated as such with the same punishment as murder therefore we news to legalise the death penalty for murderers and women who got an abortion

 @9KZLTFBanswered…2yrs2Y

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

 @97YKM2Hanswered…4yrs4Y

Pro-Life and then put child for adoption

Pro-life, even for victims of rape and incest, and provide financial and social aid for mothers in need

Pro choice, pro abortion, it is absolutely no man’s business to even have an opinion on the first place. If men were the ones that were getting pregnant, abortion wouldn’t even be a debatable topic, they’d be happening all day every day.

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.

They should do whatever they want for the baby

 @9L3CVYSanswered…2yrs2Y

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
