Abortion issue

The abortion issue in the US focuses on when and why it might be okay to terminate an abortion. This is a moral issue with legal implications.
Most conservatives oppose abortion, except in the cases of rape, incest, and a danger to the woman's health, and many liberals support abortions in most or all cases (even sometimes including partial birth abortions). Libertarians are divided on the abortion issue, with some believing it is government's duty to protect the unborn (namely organizations such as Libertarians for Life) and some believing that government should meddle into the woman's personal life.
