People can get pregnant not under their own terms (rape,etc) or at a time they are not physically able to raise a child (teenage years, poverty, etc) so they would just be putting the child in a bad place if the parent wasn’t allowed to choose to abort because the parent might not be able to support a good life for the child or could struggle caring for the child as they are a constant reminder of a traumatic situation. In the end, it’s their body and them that has to experience pregnancy and everything that comes with it so it should be their choice
@9F82BXZ2yrs2Y
pro choice because a women has every right to choose what she does with her body. young girls who aren't ready for child birth and not ready to raise a child are not ready for a kid should have the right to choose what she does with it.
@9F8S4M82yrs2Y
somepeople don't want to have kids but get tricked into having them, some people cannot finachlly suport a kid.
Its the womans body, she carries the life. Its her choice to keep or abort it. The circumstances surrounding the conception aren't my concern, neither is the choice and free will of another human being, I only have and excercise the agency of self.
@9GZFFHR1yr1Y
A woman should not be forced to go through pregnancy, risk their own life to give birth to a child they do not want or are not able to afford having. They should not have to give birth to a child they were impregnated with by someone they dont want to have a child with. Its their body, its their choice.
@9FTWLZJ2yrs2Y
I believe aborting an un-born baby is no different than killing an already born baby. Everyone has a soul, and a chance at life. Even if it doesn't fit the reality of the parents to have a kid, there are options of putting kids up for adoption.
@9FT9JTL2yrs2Y
If the child was living outside of your body, it is still yours, and you are not allowed to harm it. It's still a human being. It could grow up to change the world.
@9GBD2J61yr1Y
it will keep us all safe, less people on the streets, less babies being abandoned and helping with putting a stop to overpopulation
@9GFRJZV1yr1Y
Sexual assault has continued to rise in Canada; it was 18% higher in 2020 and at its highest since 1996. There were 34,242 assaults in 2021, how many of those resulted in an unwanted or unprepared pregnancy? https://sexualassaultsupport.ca/statistics-sexual-violence-in-canada/
https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/daily-quotidien/221019/dq221019c-eng.htm
There is also the argument of bringing a child into a home surrounded by domestic violence. The statistics show a huge increase in sexual assault within domestic violent relationships. Preventing someone from seeking an abortion when they are faced with this situation and the trauma that could come from it, is not for the government to decide.
@9G45LVX2yrs2Y
This living Baby has no a life and we have no idea what its gonna become. Don't end their ;life before its even begun.
@9G7PW8C2yrs2Y
You can only be given access to abortion if you were raped, have health issues or serious problems. It cant be a 'mistake'.
@9F9NGVL2yrs2Y
I think that being pro-choice is important because if someone can't decide to have a child or not than some of their rights it feels are being taken away. Also they could be bringing the child into a bad home life.
@B4MC62R6 days6D
The fetus is a living human being and is therefore afforded the right to life, the right which is a gate to all rights.
@B4M7C656 days6D
Approx. 4.7 million canadian women (roughly 30%) aged 15 and older have reported being sexually assaulted at least once since 15. 47% of those incidents are against young women aged 15 to 24. 32,101 of these occurrences end in pregnancy. Many of these younger women, especially teens and children pass away or lose the fetus during pregnancy complications or childbirth.
Women are having fewer and fewer babies overall today. Way less then the required 2.1 to maintain population numbers. We shouldn’t be advocating for the murdering of babies when they have rights as well. Especially past a certain term limit
@B3WKCXR1mo1MO
Life begins in the womb. If you don't want a baby, don't have sex without contraception, and even then, if you get pregnant (which is a tiny percentage of those who actually use contraception properly), there are many people who would gladly raise your child as their own. Replacing natural birth rates with artificially pumped up numbers through immigration is a terrible idea.
@B3PYH7L 1mo1MO
A life is a life, your choice to participate in an act that has a chance to create a life should be approached with more responsibility and education, if you'll participate in the act. Abortion does not equal birth control, you don't have the right to determine whether or not someone gets a life. In the case of rape, that of course is not their choice and abortions then could be considered.
@B2XHDKF2mos2MO
A 11 year old kid should be able to have a abortion, or anyone sexually assaulted, should be able to make the choice, as well as people who got prr4egnant and not ready to be parents, if they want to they should be able to choose for themselves, no man should decide fpr them, at the end of the day its their choice, period.
@B2MBKBGNew Democratic3mos3MO
People need to have rights over their own body because once the government starts controlling our physical limitations, we've gone too far
@B2H6G8B3mos3MO
You don’t have to agree with everything people say to be pro choice, you just have to believe in freedom and human rights
@B2B9LQC3mos3MO
If a young girl was raped and impregnated would you make that little girl (possibly yours) go through that birth, suffer through life while not being able to financially, emotionally or physically support that baby. the baby that reminds the girl of something so horrible.
@B263XCXNew Democratic4mos4MO
if every life is valued, think of the woman, think of how that baby might be raised. the foster system. women who need abortions after a miscarrage.
@B247BW84mos4MO
This decreases the amount of abortion-related deaths for women and ensures the safety for women. This allows for better future where a womens autonomy isnt controlled by the government.
@B23D4G24mos4MO
i believe women deserve to have the right to their own bodies. If there are no restrictions on mens bodys there shouldn't be any on womens.
@9YL8MQTConservative5mos5MO
Children deserve to be born into homes and lives where they are wanted, appreciated and can be given the best chance at having a fruitful and successful life
@9LNBK9LNew Democratic12mos12MO
Young girls who are not ready to have a child, poor people, disable people, rape, incest are all times when people may need an abortion
@9JVTX4W1yr1Y
Everyone should be able to make a choice about their own body and also taking into consideration rape victims and low income women/ families. Women's body Womens choice
@9JQSSCV1yr1Y
pro choice will allow people who have made mistakes feel less guilty and be able to continue on with their current life style. if they have an unwanted child they may no longer be able to support themselves or the child.
"More than 50 years of international psychological research shows that having an abortion is not linked to mental health problems, but restricting access to safe, legal abortions does cause harm. Research shows people who are denied abortions have worse physical and mental health, as well as worse economic outcomes than those who seek and receive them." -Abrams, Z. (2023, April 21).

@9HDHKN41yr1Y
I don't think you need to show data to allow a woman a right to chose what happens to her body and her life if you think otherwise you need a mental revaluation.
@9H8DXHJ1yr1Y
That baby has potential for life that you are stealing, and the unborn babies have no voice to speak up against their murder.
@9H55ZHR1yr1Y
Abortion is not a way out. It is in the case of an extreme measure, and it is not for people who “don’t want a kid right now”. If you made the mistake to get pregnant, you need to deal with the actions.
@9GSPHPS1yr1Y
Abortion gets rid of a life of the future that could've been changed for the better but it was because of a pill that got rid of it.
@9FTWNW62yrs2Y
pro choice means teen girls who get raped don't need to give birth to the child they didn't even want. and pro lifers say it's killing the baby but what about the people who could die giving birth
@B3FPFT9Conservative2mos2MO
Murder is a sin, God intended for these people to be born. Also God will deal with the wrong doings.
@B2SWSFJ2mos2MO
Womens have the moral right to decide what to do with their body. The right to abortion is vital for women to achieve their full potential and achieve gender equality
@9FGQ95GConservative2yrs2Y
Pro-life is just people taking rights away from women. It's people, mainly men, trying to take control of women. People don't see that and it is so messed up.
@B2S482C2mos2MO
There are plenty of precautions already in place regarding abortions there is no need to take away someone’s right
@9FPPWGR2yrs2Y
the biggest arugment for pro life is that it is a human life and it coukld have solved cancer, countering that, the fetus coulkd have also been someone to cause a WW3 and it cpould go eitgher way
@B3LHCMWIndependent 1mo1MO
There are a lot of people who aren’t educated on safe sex or don’t have the materials to do so. There’s a lot of victims of SA that should not be forced to raise kids that got forced onto them.
I think that it should be up to the woman to decide the fate of the baby. It may be an accidental unwanted baby, and she could have been assaulted into pregnancy.
@9GZGLCV 1yr1Y
A woman should not be forced to go through pregnancy, risk their own life to give birth to a child they do not want or are not able to afford having. They should not have to give birth to a child they were impregnated with by someone they dont want to have a child with. Its their body, its their choice.
@9FRY4CS2yrs2Y
Everybody should have a chance at living their best life even if they weren't planned, they can still make an impact on the world just like everybody else.
@9FDHK5L2yrs2Y
There are so many stories of kids being taken away from abusive or unsafe household and put into just as dangerous foster homes or youth shelters getting an abortion is better than having to suffer though a great portion of your life
@B2S3X792mos2MO
that at the life of conception is when life begins weather or not we havea heart beat or not we are still a clumof of cells and in the image of God we are are equal. a child even out of thw women still relies on the mother, so why in thw womb is it differnt.
@B2RX3TQ2mos2MO
Life is sacred. Most people who support abortions are most often than: people who do unsafe sex for the sake of pleasure. and even if a woman is raped, it is not the childś fault to die and not be given the gift of life, however the circumstances of life may seem like a curse but a child is still a person and killing a person is murder, that fetus is still human. That human may somehow find happiness in life or may not but the gift of life should be a gift to anyone, despite the harsh realities of life.
@9GN46RJ1yr1Y
The pro-choice position on abortion is simply wanting to have sex without dealing with any of its responsibilities or consequences, and that is extremely selfish.
@9FWNBW42yrs2Y
I honestly don’t care to convince someone to agree with my position because at the end of the day, it’s just an opinion and I don’t have the right to dictate someone else’s opinion. Everyone is allowed to have their own opinion it’s just being respectful.
@9G8CHKB2yrs2Y
after someone gives birth to a baby they dont want (assuming that they dont die from the complications/reasons they didnt want to have it) what do you think happens to it? the foster care system in canada is underfunded and understaffed those kids dont live merrily after you magically saved them from something they wouldnt even be able to comprehend
@9G45LVX2yrs2Y
This is a living human being with no choice if it exists or not. Don't end the live before it lives.
@9G7DMZ72yrs2Y
Women getting pregnant is their choice, if it was for a bad reason then they have every right to abort something that is theirs.
@9G2XZT42yrs2Y
When you are given the choice to abort they are just using fancy words. The real question is will you have this baby or we will help you murder your own baby?
@B4PNYGZ2 days2D
Most women who sign up for abortions are teenagers and women in early 20's who are not ready to have a baby yet for plenty of reasons, whether its because of how old they are, having no social support, not being able to fund for the baby properly. Women should be the only person who is in charge of their choice about whether or not they should get an abortion or to keep the baby.
