Abortion is a medical procedure resulting in the termination of a human pregnancy and death of a fetus. Abortion in Canada is legal at any point in a woman's pregnancy for any reason, and is governed by the Canada Health Act. Canada is one of only a few nations in the world with no legal restrictions on abortion.

@8KFZLLQ4yrs4Y
Not my body not my choice not my problem
@5FXV3J3Conservative4yrs4Y
pro choice, but people should have to pay out of pocket for such procedures.
@8HQW5774yrs4Y
i dont agree with it at all and it shouldnt be alloud, you got pregnant you deal with it
@9VWJN6F1mo1MO
You must be a man. It takes 2 to get pregnant, yet a man can just walk away. Also your statement is dumb what about rape?
@8DNNPCZ4yrs4Y
i do not agree with abortion. Because after all, it is still my child, even if i do not know whether it is my husband's child or being raped, i still carry the baby because them have my blood drop. if i had an abortion, is mean i just killed someone.
@5BZLJGQ4yrs4Y
Pro-choice, but include men in the process, because men don't have a say in the matter. When in the early stages of a pregnancy and there is a common knowledge that the man does not want a child, but woman does then she becomes fully responsible for that choice.
@9WNCQDSNew Democratic4wks4W
Men don't have a say in the matter bc it's not their god damn body being used
@8LVZQSCConservative4yrs4Y
Men shouldn’t have an opinion on abortion so I don’t
@8T3T55PConservative3yrs3Y
Pro life because logically a fetus is a living human from conception onwards because they have their own unique DNA. There is no other distinction to make between a fetus and a born human. You can’t justify abortion without justifying murder if you think it though. No human should be able to choose to kill another human. A fetus has the right tho live even though it’s inconvenient. 100%
@8PPLF2TNew Democratic4yrs4Y
Abortions ought to be legal, however, Males ought to be held to much more account for the abortions.. Unwanted Pregnancies are 99% the fault of the Male, therefore, after being found responsible for 3 abortions, that Male must undergo a vasectomy and be barred from starting a family later on. - IF WE ARE TO BE SERIOUS ABOUT THIS.. we must take serious actions. Males are inherently irresponsible.. and are left to go thru life totally unaffected by their choices, while society destroys that female for it. - this is completely unfair, unjust and barbaric.
@8MRPD4V 4yrs4Y
Neither pro-life nor pro-choice
Ban after first three months
Prioritize access to lower income group while the rich should pay for the procedure
Provide sex education
Minors: parental notification except in cases of child abuse
Mandatory embryo screening & 24-48 hr waiting period
Providing support to pregnant people so they won’t be forced to have an abortion just to hide their sexual activity
Since fathers are also responsible for raising the child, they should have a say over the decision, except in cases of suspected rape and abuse. However, they must also pay child support (The government can help pay a part of it if they can’t afford it)
@8VRF6R93yrs3Y
Pro choice. On demand. Free at point of service. Access in all provinces mandated by federal government. Abortion is healthcare and shouldn’t be denied.
@9GYXCN31yr1Y
You should be able to get an abortion if you want to. The baby isn’t alive until it’s born so suck away
@8JZFX9S4yrs4Y
Pro-Life unless the mother's life is endangered
@8DTW24W4yrs4Y
@8K65WKY4yrs4Y
it should be the women's choice.
@8JW33M84yrs4Y
Let the lady do what she has to do, if it’s a harm to her or the child then why keep it? If you’re broke and struggling in life, why keep it? If the spouse wants to have kids, then they should state so way before the relationship starts. They should also have a job to support said lady and child.
@8G296CF4yrs4Y
Pro-life, life begins at conception meaning abortion is murder. Promote alternative services like birth control and adoption
@8KG8JBJConservative4yrs4Y
Taking away someone's life is not your decision to make, even as their mother. If you cannot support your child or for whatever reason, you do not want it, then consider your options and receive a consultation with a professional. There are so many other options, such as open and closed adoption (wither you want to stay in contact and be able to see the child in their future or want nothing to do with them), direct placement adoption (you can pick out a family best suited for you child), agency adoption (letting an adoption facility take care of your child's placement in a new home,… Read more
@8F89P6N4yrs4Y
If she was raped and had a kid then put the kid up for adoption and the government should pay her to raise the kid instead of killing them
@9BQBNYG2yrs2Y
Pro-life, but allow in cases of rape, incest, or danger to the mother or child. However if the women is allowed to choose to abort the child, then the man should be allowed to choose weather or to not pay child support
@9VGGMWSConservative2mos2MO
Pro-choice, but ban after first 4 months and provide birth control, sex education and de-stigmatize and perhaps encourage adoption.
@8ZZGWP23yrs3Y
Pro-Choice, Should not be used as a form of birth control and should not be taxpayer funded unless it is for a medica issue
Pro-choice, but ban after the first three months. Prior to 1969, inducing an abortion was a crime under Section 251 of the Criminal Code. The maximum penalty for a doctor, or anyone else assisting a woman to end her pregnancy, was life. Then and today, abortion has remained a divisive moral and political issue. It is condemned on one side by “pro-life” advocates, who seek to defend the unborn child; it is supported on the other by “pro-choice” advocates. In 1990, the House of Commons voted in Favour (140–131) of a new law. Introduced by the Progressive Conservati… Read more
@8SLWK8D4yrs4Y
I don’t stand for abortion, it’s murdering innocent children
@8G9L5BC4yrs4Y
i think its the woman's choice
@8F67WHT4yrs4Y
Pro-Life, but acceptance to aborting immigrant children, race mixes, rape and incest.
@8ZMTC6N3yrs3Y
Pro life but adoption should be the option
@8RQ84544yrs4Y
Women should have the right to have an abortion for certain reasons. For example, if the woman is raped she should have the choice. If someone is pregnant and is unable to provide for the child and not able to give them a safe and healthy life then they should an abortion for it would be the best decision. I am a firm believer in pro-choice but in a different matter, I think if women are using abortions as a form of birth control then they shouldn't have the right to abortions.
@8G8D5GZ4yrs4Y
Pro-life, but increase the government subsidies and support for child-bearing women and single mothers.
@96Z72XK2yrs2Y
Most people shouldn't be having kids to begin with. Pro-abortion, not life.
@9724JDT2yrs2Y
Shouldn't be having kids? I know overpopulation is a problem, but this is an extreme overreaction, and a very bitter view on life. And come on, killing a baby is murder, but a few months earlier and it's fine WTF??
@8TMQR2T3yrs3Y
Only have abortion if medically needed.
@9283TWL3yrs3Y
Pro-choice, until week 5 (baby has not developed a heart yet)
@8VRJ7VQConservative3yrs3Y
Pro life, but better sex education and easier access to birth control and better support for unplanned pregnancy
@8KFVFW54yrs4Y
It's up the the person and the ther partner
@8HXLYW34yrs4Y
well I think it would differ on if have been raped and in that yes I would but if it's not in that area then no I don't think it's right.
@8VT69SF3yrs3Y
It should be up to the father. He's the one who has to pay for the child. If there is no father, then pro choice.
@8VGFR2C3yrs3Y
Pro life: make male vasectomies mandatory until financially stable
@8KHSXYD4yrs4Y
Pro choice, but use fetuses in Stem Cell research and other fields wherever possible.
@8F2KYGZ4yrs4Y
Pro-life, and provide more alternative services to prevent people from being in that situation
@8DSG5P5New Democratic4yrs4Y
pro choice, birth control, sex ed, and more social services to avoid the need for them as most teen pregnancies are from expected abstinence meaning that no one teaches them what to do and how to avoid pregnancy, nor do they provide the means for birthcontrol. and birth control should be free. however, no abortions after three months save for health reasons or the baby dies in the womb.
@8T9QG2NConservative3yrs3Y
abortion is a kind of murdering an innocent child.
@8SVPGBT4yrs4Y
@8JXY8NRConservative4yrs4Y
no such thing should be done
@8GXZGKG4yrs4Y
PRO CHOICE, and providing birth control, sex Ed, and more social services. AND ESPECIALLY, SUBSTANTIALLY lower the cost (or being free) of contraceptives (condoms/birth control) and making the morning after pill completely FREE.
@8JYZZGF4yrs4Y
Both. The woman should take into consideration the life of her child no matter what, but still have a choice to have an abortion.
@9ZN3CDQ3 days3D
It not our bodies. Those people have valid reasons as to why they want to abort. Some can be Religious, Family Situations or Not Financially ready.
@9ZLK57M6 days6D
if you want abortion but if the baby has a heart bead you should not have abortion but If you get raped then get abortion
abortion should be legal since if a pregnancy goes wrong her baby won't rot in her belly and the pregnant woman won't die due to rotting
@9ZHXNMK1wk1W
Help prevent teach kids people and make it what the person chooses after a certain age but prepair services and better them for orphaned and alone kids and babies.
@9YMQZBK2wks2W
Each women has a right to make the choice that is right for her, her family, the child that may or may not be brought into the world (pro-choice).
@cora2wks2W
No right to ban
There are several factors to me being pro-choice.
@9YCMSKN2wks2W
Im pro life but in cases such as rape, incest or danger to the mother or child you shouldn't abort. if its a money issue the low income parents can receive payments every month for themselves and the parents. I also think that if the mother has severe mental issues that can cause harm to the child the mother should be monitored.
@9XMKKT43wks3W
Pro-choice, but only for any and all non-Whites. White people should have absolutely no access to abortion
@9XCDCNZ3wks3W
I believe that it should be up to the mother/father and have the ability to get an abortion if they need it/ want it
@9X9KT5T3wks3W
pro-choice it should be banned after the second semester and it should be allowed in case of rape,incest,or danger to the mother or child
@9WSS4QB4wks4W
Pro-Choice
Banning abortion is banning equality; forcing a woman to follow through while men are incapable of the same physical accountability is sexism.
If you only support abortion in instances of rape/incest, you are reinforcing the idea that in order for a woman to have a right to HER body, someone else has to violate it first.
Providing free birth control, sex education for all, and more social services is an investment in the cumulative health of this country.
Keep religion out of politics. If you don't want an abortion, don't get one. You do not get to decide what is best for me, based on your beliefs.
Religious freedom = "Hey, that's against my religious beliefs, I can't do that." (Not, "Hey, that's against my religious beliefs, YOU can't do that.")
@9VZVNWJConservative1mo1MO
they should not get rid of abortion pills, for the fact for poor woman who get raped or there baby is un well.
@9VXMWG9Independent1mo1MO
Pro choice, however if woman opts to keep the child father should not have to carry burden for 18 years if he does not want to.
@9VRBTLC1mo1MO
Pro life, but I don't support banning abortion out-right as people would just find other ways of doing it and hurt themselves.
@9VHDFKZ2mos2MO
the man should have full say over it and if the baby is still being birthed than he should have no obligation to help it.
@9VGQ9GFConservative2mos2MO
Pro-choice and increase sexual education and awareness while making the punishment for rape more severe
Women should have the right to do whatever they please. if they dont want kids. they dont want kids.
@9VFDMR8Rhinoceros2mos2MO
pro-choice, but people should not be allowed to use the option of abortions as a reason to not pratice safe sex and not use birth control or protection.
@9VCRYRW2mos2MO
If it is a Rape, and the Woman in question did not have a choice or say in the matter whatsoever, then she should have the right to abort, but in the case that they were not careful when having sex, and they "didn't" mean to get pregnant, then I believe abortion should not be allowed, as it is a human life, that has been given.
@9VBL4CN2mos2MO
pro-choice because it should be the women's choice since it is her body but she should tell her partner to also see what they think.
@9VBJGNB2mos2MO
Depends on scenario, victims of rape, and sexual assaults should have access to it, people under a certain age should have access to it but after a certain age you can realize the consequences to non safe sex.
@9V4V9BF2mos2MO
Pro-life, the baby deserves to live his life even if the mother doesn't want him, there's always the option for adoption.
@9V3H4QT2mos2MO
Pro-choice, the government doesnt have the right to ban abortion, and provide more birth control and sex education
@9V33XX5Independent2mos2MO
if your just going around getting knocked up they no you deal with but if you were to get raped then that woman should not have to have that persons baby.
@9TZVN4C2mos2MO
I personally am pro life but know that it is every individual’s own choice and accept their pro choice decisions
@9TZC8JD2mos2MO
In my opinion abortion is not the best choice but again this should be the parents choice, not the government's.
@9TGDVKNIndependent2mos2MO
Support them but make them take full responsibility for it, people who purposely kill their unborn child by punching or any kind of way should face a crime.
i do not believe the government has a right to take away something like this. many people can be raped or impregnated at a any age, it is their choice if whether or not the woman is ready to be a mother. for younger children there is a chance of dying whilst having a baby. if you do not have a good living environment and cannot afford a child, it is not wrong to get rid of a child instead of giving it a life it does not deserve.
@9TFGZ89 2mos2MO
Abortion is a subject that politicians often use to create polarization when they want to distract people from major issues and tip the scales in their favour.
@9TDCLF42mos2MO
I believe this discussion is a red-herring to divert us from issues that are more important. Leave the laws as they currently are with this regard and move on.
@9TD28DQ2mos2MO
It should be done usually only when absolutely necessary (for example; if the mother is a child with no capability of providing a proper home for the child, if the mother is in no position to raise a child, if the mother was impregnated against her consent. All in all, it's really up to the mother.)
@9TB7NP82mos2MO
if they are adult enough to have sex they should bear the consequences n that shouldn't be an option God give life and human should not end it
@9T7ZCPP2mos2MO
I think that it's their choice if they feel that they're ready for a baby they should have their child, but if they don't feel ready or if it could have a bad affect then its you choice to ave the abortion.
@9T7YDLJ2mos2MO
if they don't want a child no matter what the situation rather underage or ect they have the choice because its there body.
@9T7YB6M2mos2MO
If you don't want that child then you can get ride of it and if it's grown too much then wait till it's born then give it to the adoption centre if you choose
@9T3Z9TV3mos3MO
Pro-life for me and my partner, Pro-choice for everyone else. However my partner will have the final say
@9SYHP683mos3MO
I think it depends of the case, if the person who's pregnant it is because of abuse, she has the desition. But if it is a woman who knows and who has the age for have a baby she obligatory needs to have the baby, is her desition if she wants to stay with the baby or not (the baby is going to an orphan).
@9MVF48H6mos6MO
i say that there should be non but if need to be done then yes but if there is no good thing to get then NO its a baby
@9MP7X29Conservative6mos6MO
because of situations such as rape, I believe it should be allowed, but controlled. Only if it is necassary.
@9MK22XM6mos6MO
Pro Choice- the government has no right to ban it. It’s the Choice of the parents if they want to keep their child or not because of any reason.
@9MH8DW96mos6MO
no, because you'd be killing a child, even if its not born, its still a living creature. in cases of rape and stuff, then the mother can birth the child and put it up for adoption. if either the mother of the child are at risk of death, then if possible they would get surgery to save the both of them... if not, then that would be the only exception
@9MGW6GH6mos6MO
I think it's not ok to abort your child because it was specially made and it's really sad to end a human life so early on, so I think it's ok to have your child and then put it up for adoption, but abortion in my opinion is not an option.
This is a way of damaging myself, so I won't take a risk and give myself to someone who doesn't love me, I would try my best not to put myself into the situation where I need to face decisions of "abortion"
@9MCJ3PYConservative6mos6MO
Im pro life in every case but if a man rapes a women they shouldn’t have to endure the 9 month long pain and after effects of birth especially if they are under 18 which most cases of rape pregnancy is then again some women might lie about getting raped to just kill their baby so its a very tough decision
@9MBNX7KIndependent7mos7MO
I would say abortion is ok because it technology the parents choice if its rape or incest its their choice if they wanna be a loving mother or have that regret of throwing away a child u have in the future .
