You should have a choice no matter what as long as the baby hasnt actually started like fully growing

 @9FN5NF8New Democraticfrom British Columbia  disagreed…2yrs2Y

Abortion should be treated the same as any other medical procedure. you wouldn't criticize somebody for getting their appendix removed, because it doesn't concern you. why are people pro-life when many mothers' lives are endangered by a birth or pregnancy? In my opinion, it's an excuse to control and criticize women.

 @9FMT2NHfrom British Columbia  disagreed…2yrs2Y

pro choice is not just about physical safety when it come to the health of the mother. caring for a child takes alot of finacial stability, positvie mental health, access to child care services, a good living enviorment, among other things. so even if the mother and the baby would be perfectly healthy that does not mean that it is the best to have that baby.

 @9GWF8MHfrom British Columbia  disagreed…1yr1Y

I think we forget mental health in this situation because even if something terrible hasn't led to the reason someone is pregnant there are people suffering with mental health issues that if they are forced to have a child they don't want will compromise the quality of care they give to that child.

I believe abortions should be allowed but it shouldn't just be the woman's choice (in some cases). If there is NO risk to the mothers life and the father wants the child then there should be a judicial process** for him. Almost like the adoption process. That being said it should 100% be the woman's choice in the case of rape and it should be required in the case of incest.

 @B44Y3CYfrom British Columbia  disagreed…1mo1MO

It’s still not the pro lifers body: there are financial, personal, and familial reasons that someone may choose an abortion.

 @B3X8TYMfrom British Columbia  disagreed…2mos2MO

Pro-life is a biggoted blanket statement and suffocating generalized viewpoint, as it removes the individual and vulnerable experience of each person who may become, or has become pregnant. It should not be a regulated topic. It is a health and wellness issue that should be entrusted by each person in the patients chair.

 @B3RVLY3from British Columbia  disagreed…2mos2MO

Under this exception, one dismisses the multitude of unwanted teen pregnancies. Before age 25, although a mother may feel ready, or fit for birth, a number of mental problems threaten the pregnant developing mind, and the fetus. The stress of growing up too fast can lead to anxiety, depression, which could be inherited.

 @B2PMF8Cfrom British Columbia  disagreed…3mos3MO

If you allow it for all of these why not allow it for anyone who chooses, why would you want to force someone to have a baby they aren’t ready for or don’t want

 @9LQGWWHNew Democraticfrom British Columbia  disagreed…1yr1Y

If you would allow a child to be aborted in these cases, why does the mothers wishes and desires become anything less than the reasons provided? Even if she is in a happy situation and doesn't want a child she should be allowed to do what she wants with her body as long as she isn't harming anyone.

 @B4TBVQNfrom British Columbia  disagreed…1wk1W

These cases are not always provable in the court of law - and women should ultimately have all control over their body

 @9GPJVB9from British Columbia  disagreed…1yr1Y

It is not a woman's burden to support another person, with the risk of great bodily harm to herself, without her consent. Ever. She is free to withdraw that consent at any time.
This position recognizes at least in theory that a woman should have to consent to being pregnant, but it implies that just because a woman becomes pregnant that is somehow "consent."
No! People can have sex just for enjoyment, we live in a free society. The insinuation that having sex automatically means you want to get pregnant is sexist and rooted in a backwards ideology that women only exist to bear children. Women should have total control over their bodies.

 @B524BV9from British Columbia  disagreed…3 days3D

An accidental or unplanned pregnancy should not stop a woman from her dreams, such as a spot in medical school or literally changing the course of her whole life.

 @9FMQTKSNew Democraticfrom British Columbia  disagreed…2yrs2Y

I think that no matter how it happens, it should always be the womans choice. Its her body and other people shouldnt decide what to do with it.

 @9FL85YSLiberalfrom British Columbia  disagreed…2yrs2Y

"Danger to mother or child" is too hard to define. It should be the woman's choice what happens to her body.

 @9FLJ6YFfrom British Columbia  disagreed…2yrs2Y

Impossible to regulate, and I am in favour of putting the rapist to death I just don’t believe that the innocent child should die. The only consistent line of life is conception as all the other lines use dehumanization to justify killing.
