Are you pro-choice (support legality of abortion)? Just sort of wondering people's political opinions of sex.

Are you Pro-choice?
I'm 100% pro-choice but I could never get an abortion unless it was medically necessary. I believe every woman should have the option to make her own choice. Making abortions illegal wouldn't stop abortion at all. If abortion were to be illegal, women would be forced to seek an illegal, unregulated, unsanitary abortion. Legal abortions are much safer for women.

Couldn't have said it better myself, I strongly disagree with abortions personally, but that doesn't mean everyone else has to act based on my morals, they should have the right to safely pursue their own choices

I am pro life for my own decisions. I would even have a hard time saying yes to the Dr, if he was telling me I absolutely needed one. However, I do believe in the right to choose! It's not my choice to make for every women.
I strongly believe there are those who should never be parents and there are those who aren't ready to be parents. They should be allowed to have options that are in safe and sterile environments. Making abortions illegal would only resort desperate people into using coat hangers and other things that are very dangerous for their own health. It's going to do much more harm than good.
Late term abortions are rare because most people know if they want that child or not, sooner. However, I don't think they should be allowed if the unborn baby is at a stage where medically, it could survive. If that is possible, we should try to save that life. I'm sure someone would adopt those babies.

The government has no business in any heartwrenching life decision or medical decision of any kind. Things like this should be decided by women and their doctors, as well as anyone they personally wish to consult, not by politicians with agendas. Even late term laws can turn around and punish innocent women with unforeseen consequences, because politicians are not doctors. I was anti-late term until I read someone's story about an infection that resulted from her doctor being helpless to do what needed to be done because of a side effect of such a law. People don't have late term abortions as birth control, they have them when something goes horribly wrong with a pregnancy. And as far as notifying partners, etc., that's about a thousand times more likely to force a woman back into the control of an abuser than it is to keep a woman from having an abortion out of spite or whatever the hell soap opera fantasy it is that certain politicians try to sell with those restrictions.
Abortion isn't a happy thing, nobody's "pro abortion" but to make it illegal is to force one person's morals on another, to take decision making away from the people who should be allowed to be making those decisions, and of course to force desperate women to back alley quacks. Not to mention the impact some of the most ridiculous laws have on contraception, and even, terrifyingly, on miscarriages. Under one of those personhood laws a woman was tried for murder after falling down the stairs while pregnant. That is beyond wrong.

I really agree with this. I'm incredibly pro-choice and I would definitely choose the first option in this poll with no hesitation!

Absolutely! Whether keeping an unwanted pregnancy is a kind or morally proper choice, what an individual "should" be doing, what an individual would do if they got pregnant... I can understand having discussions and varying opinions about that sort of thing.
But regardless of your own values, it absolutely needs to be safe and legal. Having the right to not have other humans living in your organs shouldn't even be a debate.

I am pro-life, not for religious reasons, but because of my libertarian philosophy. Until it can be conclusively proven when an unborn child becomes a human, I feel it's better to err on the side of caution and not deprive them of their right to life.
However, the only way to get rid of abortion is to increase education about and access to birth control. So I term myself a Practical Pro-lifer.
