    If Canada can 't trust women with a choice, how can Canada trust women with children? If Canada legislates a law on abortion, the country is telling women that their unborn "fetus [has] more constitutional rights than [her]."(Abortion Rights at Risk) If Canada places restrictions on, or if Canada makes abortions illegal this also increases the risks women face when they choose to have an abortion.

    The definition of an abortion is the process of ending a woman’s pregnancy by the termination of an embryo or fetus inside the mother’s womb (Pros and Cons Abortion). During the process of an abortion, the unborn child is not treated as a human being. The baby is treated as a nuisance; it is not given the proper care, it is regarded as a nonliving thing (Abortion Facts). Abortion is not the only method to take when a mother is confused by her feelings about the pregnancy for how her pregnancy came about (Arguments about Abortion). There is no reason to punish a child when they have no control of what is going on in the world around them.…

They should not take away that right because a woman decided to, or sometimes was forced to, participate in such activities that would bring a woman to make this decision. This choice has been proven to be a right by the case of ‘Roe vs. Wade’.…
