What is your stance on abortion?

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.

 @8DNNPCZfrom Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

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.

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.

 @8LVZQSCfrom Alberta  answered…4yrs4Y

Men shouldn’t have an opinion on abortion so I don’t

 @8PPLF2Tfrom Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

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.

Kamala’s Warning: ‘Unhinged’ Trump Seeks Dictatorial Power in 2024

Kamala Harris has attacked Donald Trump for seeking “unchecked power” if he wins the White House again, placing what she described as his threat to American democracy at the heart of her closing argument to voters less than two weeks before the presidential election.In a rare statement from the vice-president’s residence in Washington on Wednesday, Harris attacked Trump for being “increasingly unhinged and unstable” and said there would be no “guardrails” to restrain him during a second term in office.Harris’s comments were a reaction to comments in The New York Times from John Kelly, Trump’s former chief of staff, who said the ex-president was an “authoritarian” who admired Adolf Hitler and fell into the “general definition of fascist”.“The bottom line is this: We know what Donald Trump wants. He wants unchecked power. The question in 13 days will be, what do the American people want?” Harris said in her brief remarks.The Democratic candidate was speaking before heading to Pennsylvania for a televised town hall on CNN, while Trump was campaigning in GeorgiaThe Trump campaign rubbished Harris’s comments as “desperate” and “easily disproven”.Polls put the two candidates in one of the tightest White House races in recent memory, leaving both vying for a closing message that wins crucial undecided voters.While President Joe Biden frequently referred to Trump as a threat to democracy before ending his re-election bid in July, Harris’s pitch had focused instead on defending personal freedoms, such as abortion, and economic benefits for the middle class, often dismissing Trump as unserious and bizarre.

Republican Heartland Embraces Abortion Rights Amid National Fight

Voters in seven states approved ballot amendments establishing a right to abortion in their state constitutions, continuing a broad repudiation of the abortion bans enacted since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade.Missouri, which was the first state to officially enact an abortion ban after Roe was overturned in 2022, became the first state where voters ended a ban at the ballot box, with 52 percent approving the measure. A similar amendment passed by 57 percent in Montana, another Republican-controlled state. In two battleground states, Nevada and Arizona, measures to enshrine a right to abortion passed, with more than 60 percent of the vote for each.But the abortion rights movement also hit its limits, stalling in what had been a winning streak on ballot measures post-Roe, as voters in three Republican-controlled states, Florida, South Dakota and Nebraska, rejected amendments that would have established a constitutional right to abortion.Even as they hailed their victories, abortion rights supporters warned that the second Trump administration could use federal power to essentially invalidate the new state-level protections.President-elect Donald J. Trump boasted on the campaign trail of having overturned Roe — he appointed the three justices who helped swing the court majority. And anti-abortion activists have laid plans for a second Trump administration to use existing federal statutes to ban abortion pills, and to use the 14th Amendment to establish fetal personhood, which would effectively criminalize abortion at any stage of pregnancy. A Republican-controlled Congress could look to pass a federal abortion ban.Opponents of abortion rights looked at the results and saw victory. “Supported by the abortion industry and its allies, Harris and Walz campaigned with fanatical fervor on abortion — and the voters rejected them,” said Carol Tobias, president of National Right to Life.And Democrats who hoped that support for ballot measures would also lift their candidates to victory were largely disappointed.The groups backing the winning measures, however, said the victories even in states that went solidly for Mr. Trump were a clear signal that most Americans, regardless of party, age or gender, do not want the government restricting abortion.Republican Heartland Embraces Abortion Rights Amid National Fight
