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.

Make the mother carry the child to full term and give the child away.
@98R9SGB2yrs2Y
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 5mos5MO
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?
@8KFZLLQ4yrs4Y
Not my body not my choice not my problem
@8LVZQSCConservative4yrs4Y
Men shouldn’t have an opinion on abortion so I don’t
@8JZFX9S4yrs4Y
Pro-Life unless the mother's life is endangered
@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.
@8DTW24W5yrs5Y
@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
@8VRJ7VQConservative4yrs4Y
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
@8JXY8NRConservative4yrs4Y
no such thing should be done
@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.
@B4P9YP8Conservative4 days4D
Pro-life, but motherhood should be supported to reduce abortions. Government should not be allowed to ban.
@B4P4WM85 days5D
Pro-Life, but I can't tell someone else what to do with their body, if majority says yes, then law should be yes (democracy)
@B4G2C9K2wks2W
i feel if it is a child of assault they should be able to get an abortion but shouldn't just get one because of your own actions and if mother is in danger
@B4DKRSZ2wks2W
In the middle, abortion is okay under absoulte necessary reasons but if it is for no reason abortion should not go through. I believe there should be hearings for those would would like abortions
@B49YZG33wks3W
I am pro-life but I don’t believe abortion should be banned or criminalized. I feel that the issue is very polarizing but that it should be met with compassion and love.
@B44YLVY4wks4W
I don't believe in 'siding' on this issue per se, and feel strongly that the focus on unwanted pregnancies should start including the male involved. Make it illegal for him to abandon a baby.
@B3WGW741mo1MO
the choice of whether or not to carry a child to term is the choice of the woman involved and I have no capacity to make this kind of desicion
Pro-choice, with the government providing resources to reduce the number of abortions and support in the case of rape, incest, or risk, but more opposed to abortion being used as a birth control.
@B2YZZ9TConservative2mos2MO
I think that if you are going to engage in sex but dont want a kid you should take all of the proper precautions so that you dont end up pregnant. If you end up getting pregnant and are in a solid relationship and didnt take proper precautions then i think if you can lay down to make the baby you can stand up to raise the baby. I think abortions should only be allowed in rape cases or if you arent in the right place in life such as being too young.
@B2XM8X62mos2MO
In cases where the mother is safe and can care for the child abortion should be discouraged, because Birth Control is an option. But in cases where birth is unsafe for 1. the child, 2. the mother, or 3 the mother was sexually harmed or raped abortion should be a choice.
@B2VJ37N2mos2MO
pro choice and add in that with rape and incest should be heavily punish the offenders with jail time or choping of there parts off
@B2SZWGYConservative2mos2MO
Pro-choice, but it should be banned after 3 months. However, victims of rape and incest should be allowed them as long as there's proof.
@B2QVV6HConservative3mos3MO
pro choice, but there's a point where you can't use abortion as your scape goat, after the fetus turns into a baby it should be illegal.
@B2QN6QKNew Democratic3mos3MO
pro choice but victims of rape or incest and if the pregnancy is life threatening to the mother or baby abortion should be allowed in cases like this.
@B2QMRG7Conservative3mos3MO
Everyone should get a chance in life no matter where or who they come from. Others people's experinces doesn't explain their worth in life.
@B2Q2KBY3mos3MO
Pro-choice, there is circumstances where abortion is valid, however abortion being used as a birthcontrol for lack of self control, is wrong.
@B2KXFY83mos3MO
Pro choice, but allow more rights to the fathers. It takes two to make a baby but one to decide? That is not equality of the sexes.
@B2FKZYD3mos3MO
pro choice, but it has to be at the early stage before its fully developed and there should be more education and social services to reduce the number of abortion.
@B2B2C593mos3MO
Abortion should only be allowed to women, who were raped and/or got pregnant in any form of forced sex, and to do this they have to go to court and any hospital to provide evidence that such actions happened to them for them to be allowed to have an abortion
@B29T2CMConservative3mos3MO
Pro Choice, and kill or give up the baby. Be smarter about unplanned pregnancies. Birth control should be available free of charge, no price tag.
@B28SGF43mos3MO
the choice of having kids is not made by the government and it is a medical procedure that should be left to doctors and the patient to make the decisions. a.k.a mind your own business
@B246BMM4mos4MO
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
@9ZZ37MKConservative5mos5MO
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
@9ZTQRNR5mos5MO
Pro-choice. Add better sex education, stop preaching abstinence, and teach consequences (pregnancy). Government & religion need to stay out of it.
@9VBJGNB7mos7MO
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.
@9TGDVKNIndependent7mos7MO
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.
@9TB7NP87mos7MO
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
@9T7ZCPP7mos7MO
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.
@9T7YDLJ7mos7MO
if they don't want a child no matter what the situation rather underage or ect they have the choice because its there body.
@9T7YB6M7mos7MO
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
@9MVF48H11mos11MO
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
@9M6758BNew Democratic12mos12MO
Neither. Government has no business dictating the rights of women’s health. When did we become having American politicians in the House of Commons.
@9K622FN1yr1Y
It's sad but understandable. If a parent can't afford their baby, what choice do they have? It's their choice, their life.
@9JM6BQQ1yr1Y
I don’t agree but the government has no right to ban it, and they should be providing birth control, sex education, and more social services to help reduce the number of abortions
@9J8J7441yr1Y
It is a womans choice what she wants to do with her body, there is no right for anyone to give their opinion. There would not be this much conversation on this topic had it been for men. Leave women alone it is none of your business what one decides to do with her body.
@9J66F7T1yr1Y
I believe it is the womans choice to do what she would like with her own body. At the end of the day it is her life that will be impacted, it does not matter what other people think. Her body, Her choice.
@9HDV9WY1yr1Y
i feel as if abortion should be legal for the mother and father could not be ready financially or even emotionally for that child to be born and therefore the child having a bad childhood because what people go through while they're young shape who they can be as adults
@9G9JDZ82yrs2Y
personally I don't think it's right for you to get ride of a baby by killing it whether you chose it or not just the best decision is to put it up for adoption
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
@9G2LKTK2yrs2Y
Yes, it is good to allow an abortion, it is better for the mother to have an abortion than to abandon her and in the future the child becomes addicted to crime and drugs
@9FPG8CX2yrs2Y
Personally, I am Pro Choice for 20 weeks, but hey, its the woman's choice in the end, and it is a deeply personal decision filled with complexities.
maybe kill it before it was born
@9FNDHRT2yrs2Y
I think women should be able to chose
@9FNB6SC2yrs2Y
Abortion is killing a human unless it’s not an actual baby yet and should only be used if there was a bad thing happen
@9FMR4252yrs2Y
Prolife with allowances for rape and incest. Also with a 12 week limit with the only exception is a medical danger to the mother or child
@9FL3GD72yrs2Y
Do what you like, i don't give a rats butt
@9FH88C62yrs2Y
yes I think if you open your legs you should take that responsibility
@9FGBYPB2yrs2Y
They should ban it in Canada because they open their legs and don’t expect to get pregnant that’s on them
@9FF9JYN2yrs2Y
you should be able to choose what you want
@9F92WTDConservative2yrs2Y
they should be able to have abortion because as i know as me being adopted it comes with a lot of trauma from being adopted and think that they didn't want you.
@9F8TRDV2yrs2Y
Should be allowed to choose whether or not
@9F8SRRL2yrs2Y
god does not want babeies to die
@9F5KMPV2yrs2Y
Abortion is an option that should be available. It should be strongly discouraged past 5 months. Abortion should be considered health care. Women who receive abortions should have free access to therapy. Banning abortion will harm women and children. Abortion is not something anyone is happy about. Abortion is sad but there are valid reasons for abortion. There should be free child care, more government funding for mental health services, paid parental leave for 2 years, new mother resorts like in South Korea and just anything that would make being a parent less stressful to help reduce abortion.
@9DK3RYT2yrs2Y
Pro-choice, but only if the economic circumstances of the parent would impoverish the parent, or in the case of danger to the mother or child.
@9ZP68JNConservative5mos5MO
Pro-life, and providing safe heavens and support for pregnant woman, sex education, and social services will help reduce the number of abortions
@9XCDCNZ6mos6MO
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
@9X9KT5T6mos6MO
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
@9VGQ9GFConservative7mos7MO
Pro-choice and increase sexual education and awareness while making the punishment for rape more severe
@9HCP7QV1yr1Y
Pro life. “Pro Choice” is a misnomer. It really is “Pro killing an unborn child for the sake of personal convenience”.
@9F6YRJ82yrs2Y
Pro-life. I think it is wrong to kill a baby before even giving it a choice to live, I think that if you make a baby that is your fault and you should not kill it. You should go through it if you made the baby.
@9F5XXN42yrs2Y
After first 40 days should be banned
@9D75VZW2yrs2Y
our current PM (trudeau) voted against a ban on forced abortion (Roxanne’s Law) THE CANADIAN GOVERNMENT SUPPORTS FORCED ABORTION
@8PGGHNF4yrs4Y
Let the parents decide if they want it. If it is a health concern for the mom and baby abortion might be the right choice.
@8NYZGBK4yrs4Y
Pro-Choice, and provide condoms in sex education to reduce the number of abortions.
@8NY4LBZ4yrs4Y
Pro-choice, but prescriptions and procedure are not covered by health care
@8VTWZB64yrs4Y
the oly way abortion should be allowed is if the mother did not approve of having sexual intercourse
@8VHJHZ54yrs4Y
this does not apply to me.
@8QRQ5QS4yrs4Y
Pro-choice because banning it would lead to non-legal abortions and will not solve the actual problem. As long as the society's structure and culture don't change, abortion will always be necessary.
@9CMY49G2yrs2Y
Pro-choice, but ban after first three months. We can also provide birth control, sex education ans more social services to help reduce the number of abortions.
@9CLG2962yrs2Y
Pro-choice 100% but if your just aborting the baby just for the sake of it eg you don't feel like rasing it AND you are in a good financial state then no. But then again there's no way to really know some ones intensions.
@9CD6GVV2yrs2Y
Pro-choice, but ban after the first 3 months unless it is a danger to the mother to continue the pregnancy.
@9C7D8F92yrs2Y
Pro life except when harm to child or mother will come from pregnancy
@9BRNCGJ2yrs2Y
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
@9B2K7WF2yrs2Y
Pro-Life, and provide more support and care for women who are struggling with cases of rape/incest/abuse/mental illness
@96KGYKT3yrs3Y
@96G8MDV3yrs3Y
If you aren't in a financial position to support a baby and abortion or adoption is the only option then it's okay to me
@96D9BPN3yrs3Y
Everyone should be allowed to get an abortion
@96D2DZV3yrs3Y
After a certain amount of time has passed inside the womb like 2-3 months have passed then i think they shouldnt be able to abort.
@96D29WQ3yrs3Y
its fine but it seems wrong but its not my choice if someoen wants to get rid of their baby
@967TR3B3yrs3Y
My body my choice, if you don't like abortions, don't get one.
@964DJXB3yrs3Y
I am pro-choice. If the woman can chose to kill the baby then the father has just as much right to abandon it and no child support.
@95YB89Y3yrs3Y
Not allowed often and should be limited.
@95N7VRR3yrs3Y
Pro-life. But provide such services to emergency situations, and to victims of rape, incest etc... as soon as, and as early as it’s detected.
