Make the mother carry the child to full term and give the child away.

 @98R9SGBfrom Washington  commented…2yrs2Y

Abortion should be banned unconditionally, as it is morally detrimental to Canada and a blatant and hitleresque butchery that is worse than slavery and like it must be abolished.

 @9ZHBQHX from Manitoba  disagreed…3wks3W

It seems that you are using the murder argument. A fetus is scientifically considered a parasite for 27 weeks, making it not living. You can't kill something dead.

On the other hand, if the birth presents a danger to the mother, then killing it is self defense. If someone broke into your house and tried to stab you, you wouldn't sit there and let that happen, would you?

 @5FXV3J3Conservativefrom British Columbia  answered…4yrs4Y

pro choice, but people should have to pay out of pocket for such procedures.

 @9ZHBQHXfrom Manitoba  disagreed…3wks3W

people should have to pay out of pocket

If someone was raped, should they have to pay out of pocket?

 @8HQW577from Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

i dont agree with it at all and it shouldnt be alloud, you got pregnant you deal with it

 @9VWJN6Ffrom British Columbia  disagreed…2mos2MO

Pro-life, and I also oppose abortion for victims of rape and incest

Engaged Abortion

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?

 @8DNNPCZfrom Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

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.

 @5BZLJGQfrom Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

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 Democraticfrom Saskatchewan  commented…2mos2MO

Pro-choice

Engaged Abortion

Men don't have a say in the matter bc it's not their god damn body being used

 @8T3T55PConservativefrom Ontario  commented…4yrs4Y

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 Democraticfrom Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

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.

Pro-choice, but ban after the first three months

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)

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.

 @9GYXCN3from Florida  answered…1yr1Y

You should be able to get an abortion if you want to. The baby isn’t alive until it’s born so suck away

 @8JW33M8from Alberta  answered…4yrs4Y

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.

 @8KG8JBJConservativefrom British Columbia  answered…4yrs4Y

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

Pro-life, life begins at conception meaning abortion is murder. Promote alternative services like birth control and adoption

 @8F89P6Nfrom British Columbia  answered…4yrs4Y

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

 @9BQBNYGfrom Ontario  answered…2yrs2Y

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

 @9VGGMWSConservativefrom British Columbia  answered…3mos3MO

Pro-choice, but ban after first 4 months and provide birth control, sex education and de-stigmatize and perhaps encourage adoption.

Pro-choice, but ban after the first three months

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

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

 @8ZMTC6Nfrom British Columbia  answered…3yrs3Y

 @8RQ8454from Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

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.

 @8G8D5GZfrom Saskatchewan  answered…4yrs4Y

Pro-life, but increase the government subsidies and support for child-bearing women and single mothers.

 @96Z72XKfrom British Columbia  answered…2yrs2Y

Most people shouldn't be having kids to begin with. Pro-abortion, not life.

 @9724JDTfrom Kentucky  disagreed…2yrs2Y

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??

 @8F67WHTfrom British Columbia  answered…4yrs4Y

Pro-Life, but acceptance to aborting immigrant children, race mixes, rape and incest.

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.

 @8VT69SFfrom Ontario  answered…3yrs3Y

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.

Pro-life, and provide more alternative services to prevent people from being in that situation

 @8DSG5P5New Democraticfrom Quebec  answered…4yrs4Y

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.

 @8GXZGKGfrom British Columbia  answered…4yrs4Y

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.

 @8JYZZGFfrom Alberta  answered…4yrs4Y

Both. The woman should take into consideration the life of her child no matter what, but still have a choice to have an abortion.

 @B24HFW6from Manitoba  answered…2wks2W

No abortion. That is a child, and you're killing it. What did the kid ever do to you? If you don't want it, then don't hook up with people.

 @B246BMMfrom Alberta  answered…2wks2W

In cases of danger to mother or child and funding should be added to provide birth control, sex education and more social services to help reduce number of abortions

Pro-choice, I don’t agree but it shouldn’t be banned, birth control, sex education, and social services will help reduce the number of abortions

It isn't anyone's business if someone wants to abort that is their choice, not their friends, family or random strangers in the park. THEIR BODY, THEIR CHOICE, THEIR LIFE!

 @9ZZ37MKConservativefrom Alberta  answered…3wks3W

Pro-choice, it’s not a question of women’s rights for me but a question of individual rights in general the government has no right to tell anyone what they can and cannot do in this medical regard

 @9ZTQRNRfrom Alberta  answered…4wks4W

Pro-choice. Add better sex education, stop preaching abstinence, and teach consequences (pregnancy). Government & religion need to stay out of it.

 @9ZSWTPLfrom Ontario  answered…4wks4W

Men should have a say if they want to keep the baby, and or not if they dont want the mother should not be able t9 get child support if father wants child aborted, if father wants child but mother does not father should have some choice to pay mother to have the child.

If the child is caused from sexual assault or r/\pe then the parent shouldn't be inclined to raise that kid and is able to have an abortion. if they don't want that kid or aren't prepared for the kid, get rid of it.

 @9ZN3CDQfrom Ontario  answered…1mo1MO

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.

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

 @9ZJ57FGNew Democraticfrom Ontario  answered…1mo1MO

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

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).

 @corafrom Manitoba  answered…2mos2MO

Pro-choice

No right to ban

There are several factors to me being pro-choice.

  1. The government has no right to regulate abortions
  2. Children should be able to live in homes where they are loved, not hated
  3. Children should be able to live where they can get support, emotional and financial
  4. Nobody should be forced to give birth to a baby that's a result of rape or incest
  5. A unborn fetus is not the same as a fully born human being
  6. Nobody that's a minor should be forced to give birth to a baby+

 @9YCMSKNfrom Ontario  answered…2mos2MO

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.

 @9XMKKT4from Saskatchewan  answered…2mos2MO

Pro-choice, but only for any and all non-Whites. White people should have absolutely no access to abortion

 @9XCDCNZfrom Alberta  answered…2mos2MO

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

 @9X9KT5Tfrom Alberta  answered…2mos2MO

 @9WSS4QBfrom Ontario  answered…2mos2MO

Pro-choice

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.")

 @9VZVNWJConservativefrom British Columbia  answered…2mos2MO

they should not get rid of abortion pills, for the fact for poor woman who get raped or there baby is un well.

 @9VXMWG9Independentfrom New Brunswick  answered…2mos2MO

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.

 @9VRBTLCfrom Manitoba  answered…3mos3MO

Pro life, but I don't support banning abortion out-right as people would just find other ways of doing it and hurt themselves.

 @9VHDFKZfrom Ontario  answered…3mos3MO

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.

 @9VCRYRWfrom Ontario  answered…3mos3MO

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.

 @9VBL4CNfrom British Columbia  answered…3mos3MO

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.

 @9VBJGNBfrom Alberta  answered…3mos3MO

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.

 @9V4V9BFfrom Ontario  answered…3mos3MO

Pro-life, the baby deserves to live his life even if the mother doesn't want him, there's always the option for adoption.

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.

 @9TFJCFXLiberalfrom Ontario  answered…3mos3MO

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 from Ontario  answered…3mos3MO

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.

 @9TDCLF4from Ontario  answered…3mos3MO

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.

 @9TD28DQfrom Ontario  answered…3mos3MO

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.)

 @9TB7NP8from Alberta  answered…4mos4MO

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
