A woman has the right to choose what she wants to do with her body. There shouldn't have to be a counterargument because this topic should not be debated. Any reason that a woman does not want to have a child is a valid reason. People who use the excuse of adoption being an option don't understand that many pregnancies are complicated and some women just don't want to be pregnant, and that is COMPLETELY FINE!

 @9GRYFMCfrom Ontario agreed…5mos5MO

I agree. It's their right. If you don't want the pregnancy, just get rid of it. It's not like making abortions illegal will stop people from trying.

 @9GZVVLFLiberalfrom Ontario agreed…4mos4MO

I absolutely agree with this comment. I believe that it is completely wrong to restrict a woman's rights about what she does with her body! It should be her choice, and if you remove that option, then you are restricting her freedoms and rights!

 @9GHQ345 from Ontario disagreed…5mos5MO

What if the mother is not ready to take on the care of the child? Will we bring another unloved thing into this world? As a victim of child abuse, growing up being unloved and scorned for the simple feat of existing was something that has scarred me for the rest of my life. I don't want that to happen to anyone else - and plus, if the abortion happens early on, the child has never opened their eyes or experienced life. I think the people who are going to give birth to a child have full right to decide if they want it or not. Sometimes, the circumstances just aren't right. Also, you have to take into account the idea of rape - should a woman be forced to carry the child of a man who raped her? There's a lot of situations and overall, in general, the person who gives birth should be allowed to make the final call.

 @9GJ299H from Manitoba disagreed…5mos5MO

ADOPTION. THERE ARE PEOPLE WANTING CHILDREN WHO CAN'T HAVE THEM. FIND SOMEONE. There will always be women in the church who will want another child to take care of. People can give that human life a chance to have a good life.

 @P0pul1stSophiaConservativefrom Ontario disagreed…5mos5MO

The adoption process itself can be lengthy, costly, and emotionally draining. Furthermore, not all children who are put up for adoption find homes. According to the AFCARS Report, there were over 122,000 children waiting to be adopted in the United States in 2019. These children spend an average of 3 years in foster care, often moving multiple times.

 @ReformVioletfrom Ontario disagreed…5mos5MO

No child should ever grow up feeling unloved or unwanted. However, I believe there are alternatives to abortion such as adoption and foster care systems. These options can provide the child a chance to experience love and care in a different family setting.

 @9GLSHPRfrom British Columbia disagreed…5mos5MO

that women should have the right to do what they want with their bodies because it's their bodies and it effects them

 @9GNQ4VMfrom New Brunswick disagreed…5mos5MO

Women should have the right to make choices for their OWN bodies; we never know what the circumstances are. It could either be dangerous for women to give birth, they could not afford to have a child, or someone could be raped and have to deal with the remainder of a child and perhaps not treat that child properly because of it.

 @9GG2R56Liberalfrom Ontario disagreed…5mos5MO

Forcing women to have a baby when they are either too young or they could die is awful. People have the right to health care and to make decisions about their own bodies.

 @9G5Z93Sfrom Ontario agreed…6mos6MO

The truth is we must ask god, is it our right to kill that baby because it's inconvenient? If we say yes for rape victims it's just going to progress to all women. Do I think it's wrong that the woman got raped? yes but two wrongs don't make a right. If the mother really dose not want a child she can adopt it out but murder is out of the question.

 @9GHK7JKfrom Ontario disagreed…5mos5MO

The "My body my choice" argument is a very strong one. No one should be able to control what someone else chooses to do with their body.

 @9GNGJ3JLiberalfrom Ontario disagreed…5mos5MO

Women should be allowed to choose what they do with their bodies, no body should be making the decision for them.

 @9GDZL5YNew Democraticfrom Nova Scotia disagreed…5mos5MO

If it is not your body you should not have the chocie on what they should do with theirs. Many people that do get pregnant are not capable or in the position to take care of a child. Rape victims should not have to go through with something so traumatic and life threatning. In some cases the mother and the baby will die if they are not aborted. With in the first weeks of a mother being pregnant the "baby"is a bunch of cells forming, it is not a human life yet.

 @9G379F6from Ontario disagreed…6mos6MO

Pro-choice does not mean pro-abortion. Pro-choice is allowing the woman to choose what to do if she is pregnant. There are multiple factors why a woman might not be ready or able to have a baby. These can include; being very young, complications with the fetus, being raped, incest, etc. No woman should be forced to do something with her body, it should be up to her and her only.

 @9GCQ9D8from Ontario disagreed…5mos5MO

Pro Choice is not pro abortion, it is just giving the woman her own choice for her own body. pro life cant be said when the life hasnt even been created/formed

 @9GXV9V3from Ontario disagreed…5mos5MO

There are many reasons why a women would want to get an abortion. The baby’s life may be harming her own life, she is unable to support a baby at the moment, or she may have gotten pregnant from a traumatic situation. For any reason a women should have the option to do what she wants with her body, whether its an abortion, adoption or having the baby that is completely the women's choice. No one should be able to tell anyone what they can and cannot do with their own body.

 @9G95H9Vfrom Ontario disagreed…5mos5MO

Every woman should have the right to make choices that affect their body. There are many situations where a woman may get an abortion. They may not be able to support a child. The baby may have been the product of rape or sexual assault, mo matter what happened, the woman should always be able to make that decision

 @9H4MYZZfrom Ontario disagreed…4mos4MO

The government has no place in mandating a woman's control over her own body, it is out of their jurisdiction.

 @9GFRJZVfrom Alberta disagreed…5mos5MO

You do not know the circumstances impacting someone seeking an abortion, and it is not the government's decision to decide this. Many people are struggling to make ends meet, there could be a medical or mental health reason, or they are just not ready to be a parent.

 @9GBSQFYNew Democraticfrom Nova Scotia disagreed…5mos5MO

A women should have control over her own body and be able to decide what is best considering her own circumstances. The law should not dictate her life for her.

 @9GBCTKSNew Democraticfrom Alberta disagreed…5mos5MO

It should be the mothers choice on if they want to get an abortion or not, because someone could get pregnant and it could be from the result of rape, or something out of their control. I don't think abortion is murder because you'd just be aborting a clump of cells and not an actual human.

 @9G7DMZ7from Alberta disagreed…6mos6MO

I think it should absolutely be someone’s choice as to whether they would like to abort their own child. It should be up to them not the government.

 @9FT75VTfrom Manitoba disagreed…6mos6MO

Pro-choice has so many more opportunities for healthier or safer babies and protecting women from any hardships that a baby would put on their mental health, financial situation, education, and even physical health. It also provides the option to terminate the embryo due to forced SA. The women/men/those who are ready and prepared to have a child will make the decision to keep and those who are not for any reason will decide what is best for THEM and THEIR bodies. There are already medical restrictions in place to protect babies who are past the stage of abortion. If they can choose to safely abort it should be their own decision with guidance from a medical profession who supports them.

 @9GDRYXCfrom Alberta disagreed…5mos5MO

Womens bodies are the ones that are ones carrying the baby, and makes the biggest sacrifice so the woman should have the choice on their bodies

 @9GCDLS3from Ontario disagreed…5mos5MO

a woman should have every right to do as they wish with their own body and should not be held the right to a safe and legal abortion. if they do not have a safe option then they will find a way to access it illegally and in a way that may harm them, so instead when legalizing the procedure it will be safer and easier for women to make the choice they wanted to in the first place.

 @9GBXFWFfrom Ontario disagreed…5mos5MO

Take religion out of it. its not your body, its not your choice. if you dont want one, dont get one. you have no right to decide what other women want t do with THEIR body.

 @9G9JPLTfrom New Brunswick disagreed…5mos5MO

I think it should absolutely be someone’s choice as to whether they would like to abort their own child. It should be up to them not the government

 @9GF9YPDfrom Ontario disagreed…5mos5MO

everyone deserves the right over theri own body no body lse shoudl have the right to say something about someone elses body

 @9GCRFFJLiberalfrom Nova Scotia disagreed…5mos5MO

If you propagate rights for the unborn, you should equally propagate for the living, meaning you cannot be homophobic and transphobic and pro-life

 @9G8FYGHLiberalfrom British Columbia disagreed…5mos5MO

if its not your body you dont have a right to tell someone what to do with theirs: my body my choice

 @9G2XYSCfrom Alberta disagreed…6mos6MO

It is a woman's choice what she wants to do with HER baby, especially people who have no way to have on should not have an opinion. What if the woman was raped? What if the woman doesn't have enough money to support herself and the baby?

 @9GCF23Bfrom New Brunswick disagreed…5mos5MO

The counter argument to the Pro Life position is that abortion is a complex and deeply personal and emotional choice. Women weigh many factors like their health, their age, financial stability and how they got pregnant. (like rape or incest) The pro choice argument says that it is not the government or society's place to dictate these deeply personal decisions for women.

 @9FZMWVSfrom Ontario disagreed…6mos6MO

Social analysis argues forcibly for the need for safe, legal and affordable abortions. Approximately 1 million women had abortions annually until the 1973 decision legalizing abortion, and abortion had become the leading cause of maternal death and mutilation (40 deaths/100,000 abortions compared to 40 deaths/100,000 live births according to National Abortion Rights Action league.) An estimated 9000 rape victims become pregnant each year (FBI 1973); 100,000 cases of incest occur yearly (National Center for Child Abuse and Neglect, 1978). Two-thirds of teenage pregnancies are not planned, beca…  Read more

pro life will increase ptsd in humans along with child abuse, neglect, or more homeless families and people may resort to unsafe ways to self abort that can harm themselves

 @9G5CV94from Alberta disagreed…6mos6MO

If the dad wants to leave the mom then the mom should be able to abort it. If the mom was raped, she should be able to abort a child that would only be a hassle and traumatic for her causing some sort of neglect or abuse.

 @9G2S65Qfrom Ontario disagreed…6mos6MO

Anti-abortion is an inhumane measure. There are many situations that may lead to the need for abortion, and anti-abortion policies are largely measures dictated by men and do not adequately take women into account.

 @9G4CQ25from Ontario disagreed…6mos6MO

no law should be able to govern a women’s body as that takes away their humans rights, and thus you give more rights to an unborn blob of cells more then an actual human being.

 @9HCMTP6from Ontario disagreed…4mos4MO

Any position that isn't letting the woman carring the fetus make her own decision and have the services to enact that decision is opresssion.

 @9H65N47from Ontario disagreed…4mos4MO

It is your body. Not anyone else's. It doesn't matter what anyone else thing or wants all that matters if what you do. This is a major step back for women rights. What about the men? Why aren't we taking away their rights? If we cared as much about guns as we do about abortion then maybe just maybe people might actually get to feel safe in this world.

 @9GTKJ4Sfrom Ontario disagreed…5mos5MO

My body, my choice. The decision for people that have a uterus is not affecting you, so why do you care?

There is a 3 month old baby and 3 growing fetuses and small jars in a burning house. You can either choose to save the baby or the fetuses, which do you choose to save?

The men who preach pro-life, do not actually care about the children they claim to save, they only care about oppressing women and taking away their right to do what they want with their bodies.

What happens to all of the unwanted children that would be a result of abortions are banned? Are the pro-life people trying to get more funding for orphanages, and places that will provide a safe place for unwanted children? Ultimately, there will be an increase of children in foster care.

 @9GQZD4Yfrom Ontario disagreed…5mos5MO

There is no child that is being killed, it is simply a fertilized egg that has the potential to turn into a child. As well, if the child cannot be cared for, it will end up in fostering. If the concerns are about childrens lives, start by helping the millions of kids in the foster system. As well, men who have a significant stance just want more control over women and their bodies. Women should not be forced to have children.

 @9FWQXNGfrom Ontario agreed…6mos6MO

A child is alive. Being woven together in its mothers womb as said in ps 139. Also find me a single person who was born from someone who didn’t bring something to this world and make some degree of impact.

 @9FTWLZJfrom Alberta agreed…6mos6MO

People need to be more aware of their sex life, and be more cautious and think more that with an always chance of having a kid, if it is necessary to take the risk.

 @9FRY4CSfrom Alberta agreed…6mos6MO

Everybody should get the chance to live their best life and make the world a better place even if they weren't planned. the fact that people would take these poor people and just throw them out like garbage is also disgusting.

 @9GPV8ZPfrom New Brunswick disagreed…5mos5MO

Women should be allowed to choose what to do with their own bodies. There are women that are raped, accidental pregnancies, teenage pregnancies, addicts, etc that end up getting pregnant and to force them to have a baby is setting that child up for trauma. Yes there is options like adoption but it still comes back to the woman having control of their own choices and bodies. That woman will have to deal with the trauma of giving a child up , have to go through a full pregnancy, potentially have to stop school or work due to the pregnancy, and deal with the stigma of giving a child up because of choices she has made.

 @9FWQGNFfrom Ontario disagreed…6mos6MO

The protection of women and young girls. In cases where there is a rape, health risks for the mother or child, and not being emotionally or financially able to give the child the best possible outcome there needs to be a safe way for women to have a legal abortion.

 @9FWJBMSNew Democraticfrom Ontario disagreed…6mos6MO

It is important to consider the wishes of the person who is having the baby. It is not appropriate for someone else to make decisions on their behalf.

 @9FRQQ9Yfrom Ontario disagreed…6mos6MO

eople should be able to choose for themselves. If you don't like abortions don't get one, but don't prevent those who want or need it from getting them.
