What is your stance on abortion?

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.

Every person deserves full autonomy over their own body, including the ability to have an abortion. "Pro-choice" is bad phrasing; many people who need access to an abortion don't have the luxury of choice.

Pro-life, but allow in cases of rape, incest, or life threatening danger to the mother and or inviability of the child under consultation and advisement of her medical doctor. Policy should also provide birth control, sex education, and more social services to help reduce the number of abortions.

I believe every women should be able to chose with her body

  @RichardYRodgers from Maryland  answered…5yrs5Y

Politically, pro-choice. Personally, pro-life. The government has no right to ban it, and providing birth control, sex education, and more social services will help reduce the number of abortions.

 @8F5PKLS from North Carolina  answered…5yrs5Y

Pro-life, but allow in cases of danger to the mother, and provide free birth control, sterilizations, sex education, and more social services.

 @8FBBSLX from Ohio  answered…5yrs5Y

I don't support abortion but I think they should be banned for people over the age of 18

 @8HWK8Z4 from California  answered…5yrs5Y

I'm pro-life for my own body but pro-choice for others.

 @8LZRJND from Indiana  answered…5yrs5Y

I feel that abortion would be considered murder when you have kept the baby for over 5 months.

 @8MMGT8Janswered…5yrs5Y

I don’t think any one should have to kill there baby its not yours so you shouldn’t pick for them.

 @WolferusYT from Michigan  answered…4yrs4Y

Pro-life, but outright bans are a waste of time and help no one. We should provide free birth control, sex education, and more social services to help women, so it won't matter if abortion is legal or not.

China Targets U.S. Government Phones in Major Cyber Attack

A federal agency has issued a directive to employees to reduce the use of their phones for work matters due to China’s recent hack of U.S. telecommunications infrastructure, according to people familiar with the matter.In an email to staff sent Thursday, the chief information officer at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau warned that internal and external work-related meetings and conversations that involve nonpublic data should only be held on platforms like Microsoft Teams and Cisco WebEx and not on work-issued or personal phones.U.S. investigators believe hackers tied to a Chinese intelligence agency are responsible for the breaches and that they have targeted a wide array of senior national security and policy officials across the U.S. government in addition to politicians, the Journal has reported.The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, which has the authority to issue cybersecurity directives across federal civilian agencies, didn’t respond to a request for comment.“Do NOT conduct CFPB work using mobile voice calls or text messages,” the email said, while referencing a recent government statement acknowledging the telecommunications infrastructure attack. “While there is no evidence that CFPB has been targeted by this unauthorized access, I ask for your compliance with these directives so we reduce the risk that we will be compromised,” said the email, which was sent to all CFPB employees and contractors.It wasn’t clear if other federal agencies had taken similar measures or were planning to, but many U.S. officials have already curtailed their phone use due to the hack, according to a former official. “There is a general reticence to use their cellphones,” the former official said.U.S. agencies and many companies frequently send out cybersecurity tips and reminders to employees. But a directive to avoid cellphone use in response to a specific threat is rare for a government agency and reflects the level of concern among investigators about the severity of the breaches of telecommunications firms, including Verizon and AT&T. The alert added that staff shouldn’t place calls to a cellphone even if using a different communications platform, like Microsoft Teams.

Iran Warns to U.S. Allies Don’t Help Israel, or You’re Next

Tehran is threatening in secret diplomatic backchannels to target the oil-rich Arab Gulf states and other American allies in the Middle East if their territories or airspace are used for an attack on Iran, said Arab officials.Israel has threatened Tehran with a severe reprisal after Iran fired about 180 ballistic missiles at Israel earlier this month, with some Israeli officials and commentators pushing for damaging strikes on Tehran’s nuclear facilities or oil infrastructure. In that event, Iran has warned it would respond with devastating hits on Israel’s civilian infrastructure, and would retaliate against any Arab state that facilitated the attack, the officials said.The Arab officials said the countries that Iran has threatened include Jordan, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and Qatar, all of which host U.S. troops. These states have told the Biden administration that they don’t want their military infrastructure or airspace to be used by the U.S. or Israel for any offensive operations against Iran, the officials said. While the Iranian threats are vague, they have raised concerns in energy-rich Persian Gulf states that their oil facilities—long viewed as protected by an American security umbrella—could be hit, the Arab officials said. U.S. military installations and forces in the region could also be at risk in a region with one of the highest concentrations of American troops in the world, they added.While the Iranian threats are vague, they have raised concerns in energy-rich Persian Gulf states that their oil facilities—long viewed as protected by an American security umbrella—could be hit, the Arab officials said.
