I do support a woman's right to make a personal medical decision about her reproductive health. However, I do believe that there should be limitations as to when an abortion may be performed especially late in the pregnancy. Viability of the fetus in the third trimester should be an important factor when determining legality, unless the decision to terminate the pregnancy is made out of medical necessity. I am concerned about the use of taxpayer dollars to perform abortion. Abortion is an extremely personal decision and the government should not interfere; nor should the government should provide funding. Federal money should be spent heavily on family planning funds and for educational purposes."
