Poll Is abortion the most controversial LEGAL issue in North America? (22 votes)
Seriously, a new poll showed that only 49% were in favor of it. That's insane, considering that Roe v Wade made it legal like more than 40 years ago, but popular opinion continues to go against it and support has dropped from neatly 57% back in 2014.
I have friends who are liberals, pro same sex marriage, gun control, against the death penalty and even legal marijuana. But they are against abortion.
Personally, I'm in favor of it for three points
- It makes sense economically since the parents who abort might not be able to provide well for their child, this is the majority of cases
- It's the woman's choice. Since i'm not religious, if it is a fetus they have the right to abort it and the sate should protect the woman's rights.
- If only there was a higher rate of adoption, but these people who are against abortion don't even bother to rescue these kids which end up on the wrong track.
