"I think these restrictions are all on the right track but don’t really go far enough. I would like to see more restrictions put in place to do away with the barbaric practice of abortion altogether. That we even have a debate about the morality of this issue really shows how debased this country has become. Every unborn child is precious and has a soul from the moment of conception, and we should not allow the murder of these innocent babies, no matter the circumstances."

"These restrictions are really dangerous, and harmful to women. The idea of an underage woman having to obtain parental involvement to get a procedure is particularly scary to me, as some women could face dangerous repercussions from conservative parents by disclosing their condition. Those fearful of talking to their parents could be forced to seek out an abortion in a back alley, putting their health at risk also! A woman should not have government butting into their affairs – an abortion is a personal choice that lawmakers have no right to interfere with."

Fred Feltch, 40, Sacramento, CA

"Abortion is ultimately a woman’s own decision. Probably one of the biggest decisions they may make in their life. For that reason, I think some of these restrictions are good, like having a mandatory waiting period and ultrasound to make sure they have time to think it over. I would hate to be in the position of regretting getting an abortion after the fact because I rushed into making my mind up. I support a woman’s right to choose, though, because some people are in no position to raise a kid if they’re messed up on drugs or too poor to provide for them."
