Abortion is a medical procedure resulting in the termination of a human pregnancy and death of a fetus. Abortion was banned in 30 states until the 1973 Supreme Court decision Roe v. Wade. The ruling made abortion legal in all 50 states but gave them regulatory powers over when abortions could be performed during a pregnancy. Currently, all states must allow abortions early in pregnancies but may ban them in later trimesters.

This is a very difficult matter to choose from. It is against the human rights to terminate the life of a fetus even if it’s formed from a heinous crime or not.
On the other hand, the victim should also have the right to accept or terminate the life formed from a heinous crime. This kind of nefarious crime has a traumatic and devastating impact towards the victims mental health and as well as physical health.

Pro-life. No abortion after fertilization. But government should provide birth control, sex education and the like.

Pro-life, but with consideration if there is danger to the mother or child

No law shall decide for women's body in the first place. Law SHOULD PROVIDE A QUALITY HEALTHCARE AND MEDICAL SYSTEM THAT WOULD BENEFIT WOMEN including children.
