it comes out of the woman, the woman has the say. when men start giving birth, they can have a say, until then, it's for women to decide. it is a personal issue and should not be added to politics and should not be dictated by religion or politics. abortion at any stage should be allowed for victims of rape and incest. it should also be available without parental consent to all age groups.

*Note* This is actually my first post on here, but I was drawn to reply to it. And say "hello."


Timeline issues

[X]Other (specify)*The cells are human, and alive, so I guess that's "human life."

For how many weeks after conception should abortion be allowed?
[All] Weeks *I chose this answer because when you allow people to regulate that, if you give them an inch they will take a mile. I don't expect women to be stupid enough to wait intil the third trimester.
