What is your stance on abortion?

Pro-life 16 Pro-choice 47 Pro-choice, but ban after the first three months 11 Pro-life, and I also oppose abortion for victims of rape and incest 9 Pro-choice, I don’t agree but the government has no right to ban it 4 Pro-life, but allow in cases of rape, incest, or danger to the mother or child 8 Pro-choice, and providing birth control, sex education, and more social services will help reduce the number of abortions 20

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.

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.

Pro-Choice, but I don't think the state should decide, nor should any kind of centralized authority. AFAB people should be allowed to acess abortions, birth control, sex ed or any service they desire.
