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.

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.
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"
if your not sutble for the baby and wont be for a long time and you know that it might be the best choice other than that keep ii
no that should never have to happen i lost a half brother because my his father didnt want it and my mom couldnt suport him
maybe kill it before it was born
I think abrotion should be banned
Yes, you should be able to have an abortion at your choice.
if its your own fault then pro life but if you got SA then pro choice because people having babies from someone that they got forced witht hen it can bring ptsd and many mental issues
Pro choice unless the husband dissagrees and wants the child
Women should have the right to do whatever they please. if they dont want kids. they dont want kids.
abortion is really bad because your killing a kid who was supposed to have a proper life but you decide to just kill it
Pro-life, but sound support must be given to people who had suffered violence.
Do not have a firm stance on either sides since I can not relate to any hardships that would come for a person that would consider this option however I personally lean towards pro-life.
i agree you can use contractions, but abortion should be not allowed. if you don't want a kid use a condom or don't have sex. if you have a baby, you shouldn't be able to just kill it because its an inconveneance
Abortions shouldn’t be illegal but allowed if the case is pregnancy from rape and there’s a real case open
should be available to all women
Your body your choice the government has no choice in what you do with your body
Pro-Choice because people deserve to have a choice in what they want to with their body. it’s your body it’s your choice.
Don't have a say, I just generally dislike abortion and it should not be permitted unless you've been forced to have a child (ex. Rape)
If it was an accident or they did not know what they were doing or they were not prepared for it, then yes I believe abortion should be an option, but if they knew what they were doing, then it should not be able to.
They should be allowed to
I agree to a certain extent if the baby is 5 months away from its due date abortion should not be allowed
Abortion services should be made available to all individuals, and it should be up the individuals who require the service to decide.
Pro-Choice, I feel it is not up to the government to tell someone what they can and can't do to their body.
pro-choice because if the parent cannot afford them and give them up the child will never know their family.
Pro choice but each case should be decided in court
I think their should be more rules towards abortion
Its up to them to get an abortion or not.
i do not believe in abortion but just how i have my opion on it many other people do too, you cant force a person who does not want children to give birth to someone who is either nt gonna be loved or is gonna be forced through the system.
Whichever allows women to choose what they’d like to do.
I am a male, and as such, have no opinion on this
that is a personal question that i choose not to awnser
Pro choice, but my taxes shouldn't be going to abortion-services. People should be careful if they will engage in activities without care and should pay for their own mistakes.
Pro-choice, and providing birth control, sex education, and more social services will help reduce the need for abortions
Pro life but allow abortion in cases if rape and incest or risk to mother. I believe the rights of the father should be considered more . Perhaps if Mother doesn't want to raise the chute father does.
Pro-choice with limitations put on late term abortions.
I'm a male, I have no say in this matter as its not my place to dictate what a woman does with her body and neither should the government.
Pro-choice but ban after the first three months unless medically necessary.
i would say pro-choice and pro-life because i feel like if you got rape at a young age it would be fine to abort because youd have trauma. and pro-life because i personally cannot kill a baby.
Its the Womans body so the Womans choice, personally I think in a case where a woman was raped or feels that the baby will bind her to an unwanted relationship, or simply cant afford to raise a child, then abortion should be allowed. If I were a woman, I would rather give birth to the child, but then sign it up for adoption, that way there isnt too many complications in the future.
If Mother unable to give birth/ have to give baby up. More social services will reduce the need for this question though
just depends on the person
i think it should be allowed, personally i don't really care if people have abortions its not my body, not my situation, not my life
maybe i found it okay but just if they have to do it like for health issues
It's not Abortion its pre-canceling your order
i do agree because for some teens or people that have to actually raise the kid can be much harder than aborting it
pro- its not my body to make the choices
Pro-life, but this is not my place to ban and is very grey/on a case-by-case basis.
In my opinion i have no words for this. It depends on the individual but i think that is a wrong thing to do because why would you want a child in the first place. As i said i have no right to say anything on this because there can be reasons on why they will do that. In conclusion it depends on the person but i think its not a good choice to do it.
pro-life if the chilled is an "accident" then the man should have a say legally.
i dont have a say, im a guy.
Abortion is fine and it should not be illegal.
I feel like abortion should be illegal
pro-life, but provide birth control, sex education, and social services to prevent accidental pregnancies
Pro-choice, but ban after the first three months unless there is a danger to the mother after three months of being pregnant
I think pro-choice only after both parents agree on the decision, exception for rape and incest (mother decides)
Pro-life and pro-choice, I believe in both.
Pro-Choice. A woman should have right to her own reproductive system.
Men personally don't get a say in what women decide what to do in that instance but if a man says I want an abortion and the woman says no we should also be allowed not to pay child support in that situation
If someone is raped and get's pregnant, they should have the choice of abortion. Don't take away a woman's choice or right.
allow in cases of rape, incest, or danger to the mother or child or if the soon to be mother is to young.
It depends in what my religion (Islam) states.
That they have their own choice, but if they don't want their baby another family who can't have kids would gladly take it.
Religious beliefs should hold power (Islamic sharia)
The mother has the right to choose no matter what the case is.
i think that if you were raped you should be 100 percent allowed but if you just cant have it due to financial reason that could be accepted but if u just dont want it dont chose to take a life because you dont want it
pro-choice espically if the woman is underage, raped or cannot provide for this kid or family they can abort it. however, if the baby is over 1-2 months and the family is able to provide for them then they shouldn't abort it.
i'm a guy and i don't have any choice on the matter
Let people do whatever they want
If the woman wants an abortion she must state the reason how she got pregnant but if it was rape she should definitely be able to get abortion.

In between, I believe it is up to the person and the circumstances, it should not be used as a backup plan, perhaps there should be a time limit on the abortion.
