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.

@8HQW5775yrs5Y
i dont agree with it at all and it shouldnt be alloud, you got pregnant you deal with it
@9VWJN6F6mos6MO
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?
@8DNNPCZ5yrs5Y
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.
@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.
@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 Democratic6mos6MO
Men don't have a say in the matter bc it's not their god damn body being used
@9WSS4QB6mos6MO
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.")
@8G296CF5yrs5Y
Pro-life, life begins at conception meaning abortion is murder. Promote alternative services like birth control and adoption
@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
@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.
@8TMQR2T4yrs4Y
Only have abortion if medically needed.
@8G9L5BC5yrs5Y
i think its the woman's choice
@8SLWK8D4yrs4Y
I don’t stand for abortion, it’s murdering innocent children
@9283TWL3yrs3Y
Pro-choice, until week 5 (baby has not developed a heart yet)
@8HXLYW35yrs5Y
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.
@8VT69SF4yrs4Y
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.
@8VGFR2C4yrs4Y
Pro life: make male vasectomies mandatory until financially stable
@8KHSXYD4yrs4Y
Pro choice, but use fetuses in Stem Cell research and other fields wherever possible.
@8F2KYGZ5yrs5Y
Pro-life, and provide more alternative services to prevent people from being in that situation
@8T9QG2NConservative4yrs4Y
abortion is a kind of murdering an innocent child.
@8SVPGBT4yrs4Y
@B4SMFWJ2 days2D
You should be able to chose, but not use it as a form of birth control. This NEEDS to be taught in school.
@B4PPBZN6 days6D
Both patents should be given equal right to refuse to be a parent. Abortions should be legal for unwilling mothers, but unwilling fathers should also be able to refuse responsibility.
@B4P95F36 days6D
Pro-choice until the burden of unplanned pregnancy and/or single parenting is shared more equally among the mother and father.
Pro choice but should be a fee if it is not a product of assult(police report for proof) or life threatening (Dr's orders)
@B4KSP23New Democratic2wks2W
Being pro choice is being pro life. You need to fix your verbiage. It should say “pro abortion rights” or “against abortion rights”
@B4GBZT72wks2W
Pro-choice, but ban after the first three months and limit abortion number per person (excluding cases of rape or incest)
@B493NFW3wks3W
It depends, if the mothers life is in danger should the pregnancy proceed, abortion is right. If the parents don't want the child and they will clearly neglect the child after birth, abortion is also OK. Otherwise no.
@B44PDF31mo1MO
Pro choice but it should not be used as a contraceptive. Accidents happen but repeating these accidents is very wrong. 2 strikes and you’re done unless it’s rape, incest, contraceptive failure or danger to mother.
@B3NXBH72mos2MO
I feel like it's wrong because of what I have learned your just killing the living child because once you connect like this the child is already alive.
@B3FQZNN2mos2MO
Pro-choice. WTF? How can you even ask? I can't imagine our country following the American way. Also, women should get a double vote on that.
@B3BK36B2mos2MO
Provide birth control, sex Ed, more social services and counselling for those considering abortion. No abortions after 3 months unless risk to mom/ baby.
@B36LMM72mos2MO
From my point of view, only women should choose about this topic. Men cant choose over women in topics they will never suffer
@B36DLLR2mos2MO
Pro choice, providing easy access to sex education, social services, birth control options to reduce abortion numbers , but also if someone has more than 2 abortions due to non medical reasons then they pay for it or get tube's tied or forced birth control. Shouldn't be funded by taxes
@B3535432mos2MO
Abortion is murder!!! Murder Murder Murder Murder Murder Murder Murder
@B2Z3ZRP2mos2MO
Pro-choice, which is also in support of "life" and hence pro-life. The correct terms here are ANTI-CHOICE vs PRO-CHOICE. I support the life of the mother and her right to make choices about her body.
@B2YWMKSConservative2mos2MO
If we let abortion become legal in Canada then we are killing. I moment life in conceived the person counts. If you commmint abortion YOU ARE KILLING!!! It is a sin.
@B2S72SX3mos3MO
Its should be the choses of the person that has the baby and also involve the father of the relation ship.
@B2QQNC23mos3MO
I believe someone should not be forced to have kids that they don't want since the kids will not have a good life, I believe that part is fine but should not be celebrated since you are killing a kid, but i don't judge the people for doing it.
@B2LZCJT3mos3MO
Pro-choice. Provide better sex education, birth control, and tack down the social services to actually help the people. Abortion past 4 months is a bit odd to me, only if medically needed/birth would cause death to mother or baby.
@B2JFZGM3mos3MO
Pro choice, but ban after 3 months unless medically dangerous, also providing free birth control, sex education & more social services will help reduce the number of abortions.
@B2GG52P3mos3MO
I don't have an opinion on what a woman decides to do with her body. Women should make this decision on their own and what limitations should be in place.
@B2DKNYM3mos3MO
In-between, varies on the situation I think the government should not ban it but rather have stricter rules, management, requirements, and serious consideration, especially for victims of rape and incest.
@B2B5QWF3mos3MO
Pro-choice but if someone's using it as their birth control option every time then they should be made infertile.
@B22Q2FB4mos4MO
I think it’s only a good reason when from rape or for a one night stand or alcohol or drug enduced sex
@9ZZFVLS5mos5MO
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!
@9V4V9BF7mos7MO
Pro-life, the baby deserves to live his life even if the mother doesn't want him, there's always the option for adoption.
@9V33XX5Independent7mos7MO
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.
@9TZC8JD7mos7MO
In my opinion abortion is not the best choice but again this should be the parents choice, not the government's.
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 7mos7MO
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.
@9TDCLF47mos7MO
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.
@9TD28DQ7mos7MO
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.)
@9T3Z9TV8mos8MO
Pro-life for me and my partner, Pro-choice for everyone else. However my partner will have the final say
@9SYHP688mos8MO
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).
@9MK22XM11mos11MO
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.
@9MH8DW911mos11MO
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
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"
@9MCJ3PYConservative12mos12MO
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
@9MBNX7KIndependent12mos12MO
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 .
Everyone should be able to get the support they need and the government should not be in control over what I do with my body.
@9M2277R12mos12MO
Pro-choice. I do not agree with it, however in cases of rape, incest, or danger to the mother(regardless of the age) I believe that it should be allowed. Because my religion accepts abortion in certain cases, I do believe that it should be something that women should be allowed to have a choice with, however overall, even though I do not agree with it, I also do not agree with the government banning it.
Pro-life, but allow in cases o rape, incest, or danger to the mother or child and also Pro-choice,but ban after the first three months
@9LBVQD41yr1Y
those not capable of caring for children shouldn't be able to have them, therefore less abortions would be needed
@9L36MC5Conservative1yr1Y
If a woman is raped and gets pregnant I believe she should be allowed to get an abortion. However if a woman gets pregnant to her husband I believe she should not get a abortion
@9KW5CDK1yr1Y
it depends on person to person. i agree to allow in case of rape or danger to mother or child. Also if someone is not ready to take responsibility at that time so they can abort it.
@9KDWGTJ1yr1Y
I am pro life but I also think some situations need an abortion, having a kid too young, rape, incest, etc. those are the cases where abortion is acceptable in my opinion
@9K4MLQ8Conservative1yr1Y
keep the kid, people have said they have found life on mars, but a human baby doesn't count as life how it that ok?
@9JWFXKR1yr1Y
I am both, i think that life should be protected but the government should not have the ability control what people do.
@9JGPKH21yr1Y
Pro-choice, women should have access to abortion. However, men should not be forced to pay child support should they decide not to be a father
@9J77ZVS1yr1Y
Pro-choice but men should also have the right to refuse child support if it is discussed before the birth of the child.
@9J4QTKJConservative1yr1Y
Should be banned after the first three months of being pregnant. Schools should provide birth control, feminine products, sex eduction and more services to help women in general and to reduce number of abortions and unsafe sex.
@9J4JGWRConservative1yr1Y
Pro choice, government should not ban outright. Provide birth control, sex Ed and more social services to people who need it. Abortion after the first 3 months should be heavily restricted and only permitted in certain extreme circumstances. Example, sex selective abortions, late term abortions should not be permitted
@9HN7ZVC1yr1Y
abortions should only be aloud within the first month or 2 because after the 2nd month its like killing a baby
@9GB2SGF2yrs2Y
pro- life, abortion should only be allowed if it ha been proven the baby would b incapable of life outside the womb or some crazy thing that would cause it to die at birth
@9G9LS46Conservative2yrs2Y
Should not be used as a reoccurring form of birth control. Should be banned after a certain number of months, and only allowed a certain amount of time unless under extreme circumstances such as rape incest etc
@9G97MP92yrs2Y
Pro-Life cause God created everyone and every life has a purpose. And provide more support for young mothers if they feel like they can’t do it alone.
@9G4QVFHNew Democratic2yrs2Y
In cases of non-assault situations, both parents should have a choice if the father is still present.
@9G3LBVG2yrs2Y
Women should have the choice of if they want an abortion or not, we should not have any cases where we have to deny a person that right.
@9G2JQGN2yrs2Y
I believe that we should go pro-life. if it the female was a victim of rape or sexual assault causing the pregnancy she should get support and give birth to the baby then putting the baby up for adoption instead of mercilessly murdering the Unborn child.
It should be heavily restricted to cases where one party will die if the birth is allowed to continue.
@9FWNRVB2yrs2Y
Pro-choice, but ban after the first month. I'd much rather have the woman give birth and give it up for adoption if she doesn't want it.
@9FSLGWY2yrs2Y
I think that at the end of the day humanity in general wil want to do what it wants whether that's abortion or believing they are a bird so even if alot of people agree or disagree with it if a individual wants a abortion give them what they want even if they will have severe depression from guilt and regret after. But for rape incest and cases of abuse like that unless the person still wants it they should 100 percent get a abortion
I think abrotion should be banned
@9FL7SJ92yrs2Y
As I am still young and do not believe I had substantial information in order to put my opinion into the business of women who have many varying cases into why they need abortion.
Yes, you should be able to have an abortion at your choice.
@9FH7PH22yrs2Y
Pro-life, but allow abortion for minorities
@9FG8PQB2yrs2Y
Abortion needs to stay a thing.
@9FG2XZX2yrs2Y
no opinion I don't have the part necessary for it
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
@9FD7Z632yrs2Y
yes because it's not a real person yet.
@9FD467T2yrs2Y
it is your life. if you make the decision and get yourself in that position then yr only option is to keep it or abort it.
@9FC75HL2yrs2Y
Depends on the situation and religon.
@9FBF9JP2yrs2Y
yes they should have their own choice but in some situations the man should have a say
