I shouldn't have to provide data to try and convince people to let women choose what they want to do with their bodies

The reality is if you don't like the idea of an abortion, don't get one, but don't take that choice away from others. That is not fair.

It's also not fair to the unborn child abortion should only be an option in rape and life and death situations there are choices other than abortion.

 @9GVHWQNNew Democraticfrom Quebec  agreed…1yr1Y

I agree. The other alternative to not have a baby is to put him up for adoption or foster care, and both systems are awful. I do not believe that it's normal to have to wait for years to adopt a child when there is so many kids with no parents. Having an abortion is already a very tough decision to make, I believe that it is very unnecessary to add more stress to women by taking this right away.

 @9GTV738from Ontario  agreed…1yr1Y

I agree with this view. I support bodily autonomy fully with respect to abortion, vaccines and MAID. People should always be free to decide what happens to their body.

 @9GSTL5WLiberalfrom Ontario  agreed…1yr1Y

I agree with this comment about abortion. It should always be the woman's choice on what to do with their bodies. Sexual assault and rape, especially if it leaves the woman pregnant, should not become their responsibility. There are too many different cases to take the choice away from every woman.

 @9GSK5LYLiberalfrom Alberta  agreed…1yr1Y

Yes I agree, for example, teen pregnancy is a very common thing, no women should have the obligation to go through a pregnancy.

 @9GSK4ZKLiberalfrom Alberta  agreed…1yr1Y

Yes I agree, women should have the right to choose no matter the circumstance. For instance if a women is raped and ends up pregnant, she may not be in the financial situation to support the child, or emotional state to be a loving mother. There is also the case of teen pregnancy as accidents do happen and it is not a matter of just being careful. If you do not like the idea of an abortion do not get one, most of the people against abortion are men which should not have any right to decide what a women is to do with her body.

 @9GSD6WYfrom Ontario  agreed…1yr1Y

100%. I still cannot understand why people intervene in something that’s not their business. So it your belief or religion? Well they are not holy stances that interest me.

 @9GSCNSXNew Democraticfrom British Columbia  agreed…1yr1Y

i agree with this comment about abortions. women should be able to decide what to do with their body. men shouldnt get to have an opinion on what women do with anything in that range of issues.

 @9GS94NRLiberalfrom British Columbia  agreed…1yr1Y

It is the women’s choice they are the one who must birth the child it’s her body and you never know what a persons story is, no one should be told they can not protect themselves and make a decision that is life changing, it is that girl, or women’s choice

Vetting Fiasco: Trump's Defense Pick Caught in Sexual Assault Allegation Storm

CNN commentator and New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman said President-elect Donald Trump’s team missed Pete Hegseth’s payoff to a sexual assault accuser when they vetted him to be secretary of defense.Hegseth is among a raft of cabinet picks facing tough confirmations, and who aren’t being subjected to the customary FBI checks, instead being vetted by private firms. Over the weekend, Hegseth’s attorney dropped the bomb that there was a confidential settlement with a woman who accused the former Fox News host of sexual assault. On Monday night’s edition of CNN’s The Source with Kaitlan Collins, Haberman revealed that her sources in Trump world did not know about the payoff, which was missed in the vetting “because it was a private settlement”HABERMAN: There’s more concern from some people around Trump than there is from Trump himself, about this whole issue. Trump has really dug in, and has told advisers that he is going to stick with Hegseth. Now, we’ll see if anything else emerges.They did do a vet, we are told. This did not show up, this issue, because it was a private settlement, according to the people, who were briefed on what took place. Trump really likes Pete Hegseth. But this did introduce the thing Trump doesn’t like, which is an element of surprise and a negative headline. And so, we will see where this goes.

Inside the Podcast Revolution: Trump’s Unfiltered Strategy and Harris’s ‘Meltdown’ Risk

Tech billionaire Elon Musk attributed President-elect Trump’s election victory, at least in part, to the lengthy podcast interviews he did during the campaign.In an interview late Tuesday with former Fox News host Tucker Carlson, Musk said Trump’s podcast appearances showed the American public that he was a normal person.“I think it made a big difference that President Trump and soon-to-be Vice President Vance went on lengthy podcasts,” Musk said in the interview.“I think this really makes a difference because people look at, like, Joe Rogan’s podcast, which is great, and Lex Fridman’s and the All-In podcast, and, you know, to a reasonable-minded, smart person — who’s not, like, hardcore one way or the other — they just listen to someone talk for a few hours and that’s how they decide whether, you know, you’re a good person, whether they like you,” he added, according to a clip highlighted by Mediaite.Trump conducted many interviews with new media during his campaign, as well as with legacy news organizations such as Fox News.Last month, he joined Joe Rogan’s podcast for a 3-hour long interview. The celebrity host later endorsed his candidacy.His opponent, Vice President Harris, did not appear on Rogan’s podcast because, according to “The Joe Rogan Experience” host, the Harris campaign only had an hour and required him to travel to her. Rogan said he felt “strongly” that the “best way to do” an interview with the vice president would have been in his studio in Austin, Texas.Musk recalled posting on his social platform X account that “nothing would do more damage” to Harris’s campaign than going on Rogan’s podcast, “because she would run out of non-sequiturs after about 45 minutes.”“You can’t hide for three hours,” Carlson replied.Musk added, “Yeah, like, hour two and three would be a complete melted puddle of nonsense. So it would just be absolute game over. That’s why she didn’t go on.”“But on the other hand, Trump, he’s there, and there’s no, there’s no talking points,” the Tesla CEO continued. “He’s just being a normal person who’s having a conversation, and doing three hours of Rogan, no problem.”

Defense Bill Blocks Transgender Care To Minors

The Senate on Wednesday gave final approval to a defense policy bill directing $895 billion toward the Pentagon and other military activities, moving over the objections of some Democrats who opposed a provision added late in the negotiations that would deny coverage for transgender health procedures for minors.The 85-to-14 vote, coming a week after a divided House passed the same measure, cleared the bill for President Biden’s signature.Most Republicans and many Democrats supported the measure, which provides a 14.5 percent pay raise to junior enlisted service members and a 4.5 percent pay raise for all other service members. It also expands access to meal assistance, housing and child care programs that benefit those in uniform.But several Democrats withheld their backing in protest of a provision preventing TRICARE, the military’s health care plan for service members, from covering “medical interventions for the treatment of gender dysphoria that could result in sterilization” for children under 18.The language, which would affect the gender-transitioning children of service members, was recently added to the measure at the insistence of Speaker Mike Johnson, Republican of Louisiana, who refused to bring a defense bill to the House floor without it, according to aides familiar with the negotiations.Twenty-one Democrats, led by Senator Tammy Baldwin of Wisconsin, proposed an amendment to strip the provision from the bill, but the matter was never brought to a vote. Several of them took to the floor on Tuesday to lodge their objections.“It’s flat-out wrong to put this provision in this bill and take away a service member’s freedom to make that decision for their families,” Ms. Baldwin said, estimating that the provision could negatively affect as many as 6,000 to 7,000 military families.
