Types

Voting position claim

Opposing arguments

States should have the right to determine their own abortion laws based on the values and beliefs of their residents, and a one-size-fits-all federal law undermines local autonomy.

Supported voting positions

Ban abortion after three months on the federal level

Supporting arguments

A federal ban ensures that abortion rights are uniformly regulated across all states, eliminating the patchwork of laws that can lead to confusion for patients and providers, and potentially reducing interstate travel for abortion services.
Establishing a clear federal standard can decrease the volume of legal challenges and court cases related to state abortion laws, thereby conserving judicial resources and reducing uncertainty in legal outcomes.
