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.

@5FXV3J3Conservative4yrs4Y
pro choice, but people should have to pay out of pocket for such procedures.
@9ZHBQHX5mos5MO
“people should have to pay out of pocket”
If someone was raped, should they have to pay out of pocket?
@8VRF6R94yrs4Y
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.
@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
@8F89P6N5yrs5Y
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
@8ZMTC6N3yrs3Y
Pro life but adoption should be the option
@9VGGMWSConservative7mos7MO
Pro-choice, but ban after first 4 months and provide birth control, sex education and de-stigmatize and perhaps encourage adoption.
@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??
@8F67WHT5yrs5Y
Pro-Life, but acceptance to aborting immigrant children, race mixes, rape and incest.
@8GXZGKG5yrs5Y
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.
@B4T8YH214hrs14H
In a perfect world, pro-life. But provide birth control, sex ed, social services. Ban after three months.
@B4RZG4DConservative3 days3D
If the woman is allowed to make the decision to keep or terminate the pregnancy, the male should have the right to give up parental rights and child support
@B4PS5QV6 days6D
My belief is this. So if a woman is raped and gets pregnant what happens to the man? He goes to jail but the baby gets the death penalty. every child matters
@B4PDQ9H6 days6D
Pro choice, and advocating for progressive means of ending abortion like sex education and bringing down the cost of living
@B4DQHBR3wks3W
As a Christian, God made humans in his image, in the beautiful world that they have been sent to, So I DO NOT support abortion.
@B49S5T9Conservative3wks3W
I am Pro-Choice. Abortion in Canada has been decriminalized for over half a century, and is protected by the section 7 of the charter. Regardless of what your stance is, Canada will stay pro choice so the question seems irrelevant
@B46D4XS4wks4W
Pro life, but allow for cases where the mom and child are in danger AND provide birth control, sex education, and more social services.
@B3VMZZGConservative1mo1MO
Pro-choice, and women should be able to choose whether or not to have a child, especially in cases of rape and other forms of SA.
@B353N4N2mos2MO
Pro-life, but with exceptions for rape, incest, and endangerment, and also provide measures, programs, and services to reduce unwanted pregnancies
@B2QP78M3mos3MO
Depends on the stage of the pregnancy, excluding victims of rape, incest, or endangerment of the mother.
@9V3H4QT7mos7MO
Pro-choice, the government doesnt have the right to ban abortion, and provide more birth control and sex education
@9TZVN4C7mos7MO
I personally am pro life but know that it is every individual’s own choice and accept their pro choice decisions
I am pro-life in general but understand that incest is a horrible situation for both the female and the fetus as it may lead to congenital defects. I also think rape is horrible and rapists should be killed by the victim or sent up for life but the fetus is innocent. It's a decision that the woman must make and eventually answer to God.
@9KF83351yr1Y
pro choice but the father may not be held accountable for a non abortions' if he was in favor of the abortion
@9JWKZRS1yr1Y
i support the choice to pick abortion or not but both parents must choose together, no one with more or less say in the matter, unless in the case of rape or incest.
@9JSMF3ZConservative1yr1Y
pro-choice but there should be rules on how many abortions you get and it should not be used as a birth control, you should be aloud to get a abortion if you were raped, insest, and under the age of 18. They should also teach more about safe sex.
@9GB4LHW2yrs2Y
I don't really have an opinion on this but say if a woman gets raped and the attacker doesn't use protection now she has to deal with a child she didn't even want. Or if your in a relationship and you use protection but it breaks but your not ready for a kid.
@9G5NKD7New Democratic2yrs2Y
pro-Abortion, I understand that abortion is a medical procedure that is only between the patient and the their medical team, and whom the patient chooses to be involved.
@9FN3FGX2yrs2Y
i feel it would be unfair to say no to abortion it can help people who aren't ready for kids or have high risk pregnancy's and it should be both the mother and father's decision
@9FM9QN92yrs2Y
Pro-choice, again, if they're not abusing the rights of others then let them be.
@9FL924BConservative2yrs2Y
Pro-choice, the government has no right to ban it because it’s someone else’s life and body. It could have been a traumatic experience for the person. Providing more social services, birth control and education on sex will hopefully reduce the number of abortions.
@9FGTMM22yrs2Y
As a Christian I would not allow abortion as it is against God's word because you are killing a person if you do abortion.
@9FGLBQ52yrs2Y
Pro life who doesn’t support abortion even if it involves a girl getting raped, I still that aborting the baby wouldn’t do anything for it and should put up to adoption. I believe the abortion of babies made from incest since it would have many difficulties and trauma among them.
@9DTTBXP2yrs2Y
That’s up to the person carrying the baby
@B4TKMPG5hrs5H
neutral, but if the pregnant person is at a health risk due to the pregnancy, abortion definitely has to be legal
@9VZVNWJConservative6mos6MO
they should not get rid of abortion pills, for the fact for poor woman who get raped or there baby is un well.
@9VBL4CN7mos7MO
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.
@9V5LZ3C7mos7MO
Im Pro-choice however, I believe that after a certain amount of abortions, something needs to be changed.
@9V5FHRP7mos7MO
Pro choice, but I feel like women should have a good reason to have an abortion like if they are raped by a family member or anyone else. If they are perfectly capable of raising a child and knew the risks of becoming pregnant then maybe they shouldn't have an abortion.
@9V5CMX47mos7MO
I feel like it goes both ways because if a woman was raped then i believe that she can abort it but if a woman goes out of her way to have sex and understands that and has a baby then she should not be able to abort the baby.
@9SL8SK78mos8MO
Pro choice, but make the process such a headache that the person doesn’t want to go through it, unless they have to. But null this process for anyone who’s at risk, and who is a victim of rape. This only applies to people who were irresponsible.
@9GR3NRL1yr1Y
The government has no right to ban it , if the woman was raped or it’s dangerous for her to have the child or if she just doesn’t want to have it is her choice the government should not interfere
@8VFBDW24yrs4Y
Pro choice - it should be up to the mother of the child and should not be affected by anyone else
@8V8HCRT4yrs4Y
Choice! If birth control was free - there would be less use for abortions
@8QWWJH34yrs4Y
if the man does not want it and the girl keeps it the man should not have to give them a cent.
@8QW7HWC4yrs4Y
prolife, but alloe in cases of rape and incest
@8JTRVWS5yrs5Y
Shouldn’t be an issue . Offer more education , pro-choice doesn’t mean you’re anti pro-life, and it just means you think it should be an available option for women who would otherwise hurt themselves trying if it was illegal
Pro-life, but sound support must be given to people who had suffered violence.
@8F8B42X5yrs5Y
It depends on the situation but where i stand is if someone isn't ready to have a kid they shouldn't raise it unless they wanna give it their est life.
@96QT3H52yrs2Y
Bro, lets put a limit of 3 times abortion on it , excluding rape, incest, or danger to the mother or child moments (we wont count that as in the 3 times , u still get 3 times that you can use at your disposal.
@99ZF3YXNew Democratic2yrs2Y
Pro-life, the government providing birth control, sex education, and more social services will help reduce the number of abortions
@96HNY8Y3yrs3Y
Father should have a say if previously they both agreed but other then that pro choice
@96FWRLM3yrs3Y
Pro-Life and abortion when it will save the mother's life
@96FWM8K3yrs3Y
Pro choice but should be more careful
@96934R53yrs3Y
It’s none of my business what someone chooses to do with their body
Pro Choice because you should get to decide what you wanna do with your body
@965KWGTConservative3yrs3Y
i believe that both parents should be consulted on this design and have the abortion clinic have them put their signatures unless it is a case of rape or incest then they should only get the mothers opinion
@965GMBK3yrs3Y
Pro-choice, but once the child has a heartbeat then Pro-life.
@965C8W63yrs3Y
it should be free for everyone
@95YJRW3New Democratic3yrs3Y
MY BODY, MY CHOICE! It should be my choice!
Example:
12 year old: Hey! Can I adopt a baby?
Adoption Lady: No! Your too young!
12 year old girl: I was raped! Can I get an abortion?
Abortion Lady: No. Sorry, it's just too dangerous and that's now illegal.
It should be my choice if I want/need an abortion!
@95TD6H93yrs3Y
its a choice, but not a choice i support whatsoever.
@95SX3P23yrs3Y
Pro life, but people should be allowed to do as they choose. But ban aboption after 3 months.
@95PGW6Z3yrs3Y
I think Women have the right to get an abortion even if they're not victims of rape. Its their body and their choice and they should have the right too choose when they're ready to carry and birth a human being.
@95D22PK3yrs3Y
Pro-life but people are going to get abortions anyway so why put two lives in danger? Abortions are already legal in Canada and should stay that way.
@95CHLHCLibertarian3yrs3Y
Pro-life, however it shouldn't be enforced.
Pro-choice, and providing more funding for abortion services in all provinces as well as making abortion an unalienable constitutional right of all Canadians within the Charter.
@93R7VX73yrs3Y
They have the right to make there own decision
@93HF7FP3yrs3Y
yes as long as the father of the child gets an equal say
@92TKJ293yrs3Y
i think its up to the women to decide
@92SNPWF3yrs3Y
I do not support abortion but I believe making it illegal is not a viable solution. How about making it a criminal offense for a man to abandon his responsibilities and maybe there would be less women feeling their only option is abortion.
@92L9KW7New Democratic3yrs3Y
pro-choice but after a certain amount of time its not an option any more
@929WRQ73yrs3Y
Pro choice, but only if men are allowed the option to opt out of any parental responsibilities
@927VFJL3yrs3Y
pro-choice all the way, and we need to make sure that women have a safe clean place to get the operation done.
@923VP2P3yrs3Y
depends on what the person giving birth wants
@8ZM4Q6D3yrs3Y
I believe it's the choice of the individual but consider the circumstances of raising a child when you are only ready to take care of yourself.
@8Z5KNTP3yrs3Y
Abortion is a really bad thing. People are killing little humans, and that is completly wrong. If a woman got raped and got pregnant, she should be given the right support instead of going to an abortion clinic.
Pro-choice but with limitations to the number of abortions a person receives.
@8YVYX83Conservative3yrs3Y
You better clutch the gulag
@8YRVNCF3yrs3Y
neither, it depends on the circumstances
@8XZLYPDConservative3yrs3Y
People should have the right to choose but don’t agree it’s ok
@8XK3DRQ3yrs3Y
I should have an opinion because it doesn't affect me therefore I'm not going to put anything.
Kill the feetus, do it no balls.
@8WDF4G74yrs4Y
Abortion should not be legal in ANY case
@8W44DKV4yrs4Y
Pro-life, but if they don't want to have a baby they should take a birth control pill within 24 hours after sex.
@8VZ84534yrs4Y
@8VZ7QW94yrs4Y
It’s up to the person giving birth
@8VWXDZS4yrs4Y
Pro-choice but put caution on the timing of fetus development and termination of pregnancy. Caution on health risks to pregnant person. And once egg and sperm connect or become fetus; it is still a potential baby/ human so don’t say it is not, let the person who chooses termination of a pregnancy grieve. Also, provide birth control, sex education, social services and emotional/mental/physical health support to all and each involved.
@8VWTC45Libertarian4yrs4Y
This should be case by case but should have ZERO government influence.
@8VWP9LL4yrs4Y
Abortion is the same as murdur should have not had sex in first place if you did not want a kid in the first place.
@8VVB4W84yrs4Y
If they can back flip they can choose to abort the child
@8VTTZRRConservative4yrs4Y
Pro life, and pro people. I support people making this hard decision. Birth control, sex education and social services ESSENTIAL
@8VT8STG4yrs4Y
Pro-life, and providing birth control, sex education, and more social services will help reduce the number of mothers at risk or in need of help.
@8VSRQB54yrs4Y
Neither pro-life or pro-choice, both sides should come together to provide sec education, birth control and social services to prevent the need for abortions.
I am a male, and as such, have no opinion on this
@8VRTNJC4yrs4Y
Pro choice - more and cheaper options for birth control without parents consent
