I'm personally 99% pro-life and only support abortion in extreme cases such as incest, rape or if pregnancy directly puts the mother's life at risk. For those of you who are pro-choice, what limitations should be placed on the woman should she choose abortion if any? Do you support a woman's right to abort her child/fetus due to detected deformities of the child? Would you still support a woman's right to choose if she wanted to abort a child due to the sex of the child and nothing else?

If homosexuality were positively determined to be genetic and doctors were able to determine the future sexual orientation of a child prior to birth would you support a woman's right to choose if she chose to abort a child because they would likely be born gay?

They should pay for their own abortions. I am Pro-Choice but I do not believe that taxpayers should be funding abortions. Women should always have the right to choose to have an abortion or not. It is not the Gov place to choose that for us women.

I agree with the payment statement. So you're saying a woman should be allowed to choose abortion for any reason whatsoever or no reason at all for that matter?

It is nobodys business what the reason for the abortion is. It is that persons right to choose what they feel is best for them. I do however think that counseling needs to be a huge part of the before and after. Of course options should also be covered for those who may not be aware of what is out there in their area.

The individual woman is in charge of her own body. She determines what medical procedures need to be done. If the government is paying for these procedures it should pay for elective abortion.

To answer the OP’s question directly: NONE

I say abortions should be allowed by taking a poll
You poll the mother
You poll the father
You poll the fetus

If you cant get a majority, the baby lives..

Default For those who are pro-choice, what limitations should be put on a woman's right to choose abortion?

I don't "support" abortion.

I'll never have one.

I don't think the government has any business in anyone's pants. Abortion decisions are an intensely personal matter, not a governmental one.

we have enough regulations on abortion as they are now. abortion should always be legal.
it is no ones business what the reasons are, it is between the woman and her doctor. do not fall for the BS the extreme anti choicers want to pass off as fact. late term abortion is not done for any other reasons other than severe medical problems with either the mother or the baby.

Incorrect on late term abortion is done for other than you stated.

Viability should be the only restriction.

Outside of that, a woman should be able to get an abortion regardless of the reason.
