Pro-choice

The choice to terminate a pregnancy is the choice of the person who is pregnant. It is unlawful to make decisions about another person's body when there is no consideration given to their mental or physical health, nor the situation that child may be brought into. The child may end up in a hateful situation that was not their choice but society has forced them into due to policy. If the situation is bad enough then the child will go into "the system" causing further harm to society as their environment influences their behaviour and outlook towards their world.

every year 1 in 30 women are raped almost all the time they can not control it and struggle from mental issues such as deppresion and ptsd after, women struggle so much they commit suicide sometimes. 2/3rd of female rape victims are the age of 12-17, at this age women's minds are not fully developed and not ready to have a child. A 12 year old can not care for themselfs let alone another child and their families may not have the money or room for another child.

Unwanted children should not be forced into this world. It’s hard enough with the children who are wanted

The human body (although capable) goes through so many changes and they are not always easy. There is also too many children who need loving families in NZ and that is evidence of why woman should have the right to choose. Money is another contributing factor. There are too many families on benefits who should have the right to not have children because they are already on the bottom of the income ladder!

its up to the women and her partner if they are relevant, having an unwanted child would be bad for the mother and child, being pregnant could also provide massive health risks so they are better to not carry

Because it is one of the biggest parts of human rights. There are many circumstances to why people get abortions. You cannot for a woman to destroy her life.

Go get yourself raped and then let us know what it was like when someone took that choice away from you and your body. It may not be the same as a Fetus that is barely a thing, but the concept is the same

People should have the right to choose how they want to live there life. What if they can’t afford to have a child because they keep getting taxed too highly on everything.

Woman’s choice , woman’s right to abortion ! Woman shouldn’t have go carry a baby that’s either been forced upon them unwilling or accidentally.

People can be impacted by others, in circumstances like this then options should be available to those who could be effected for the rest of their lives

I am also against pro life because what if you get raped and because of the rules you then have to keep your rapists child. Imagine how much that would affect you and your mental health.

Incest results in lots of health issues which will cause the child to be in pain for its whole life and if it is terminated before it becomes life then that saves the sufferage of a human

Even if we accept that a fetus has some moral value or a "right to life," no person has the right to use another person’s body to survive without consent. For example, we don’t force people to donate blood, organs, or even bone marrow to save a life—even though those actions could keep someone alive. Pregnancy is a far greater physical and emotional burden than any of those, so forcing someone to remain pregnant against their will denies them control over their own body and life. This doesn’t mean dismissing the moral weight of the fetus, but it emphasizes…  Read more that a pregnant person’s rights must come first, because without the person carrying the pregnancy, the fetus cannot exist or survive. Yet in abortion debates, we often see the fetus granted more consideration than the person carrying it—suddenly a cluster of developing cells is treated as more important than a living, breathing human being with thoughts, feelings, and autonomy.

It is not fair on women that wants abortion to have to have a child she cannot realistically raise properly.

If you are pro-life you're probably bitter and too old to even be alive and see the baby that didn't get aborted be born.

it is up to the mother because she is the one carrying the baby, having to give brith and dedicate the rest of her life to the baby whereas the father can run away

Woman rights, have and deserve we are human too. Its our bodies no one elses and we should be able to choose what we do with them no one else

If the protection used is defective or tampered with it seems unfair to women to have to go through the physical changes and pain of child birth while men can still have total control over their bodies

The abortion should not be allowed it is cruel killing babies but people should be governed on how many kids they are allowed if on the Bene
