Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau says women's rights, like the decision to end a pregnancy, can't be taken away by a House of Commons and Senate featuring mostly male legislators.
Responding to questions from reporters about his pro-choice stance — and his avowal that Liberal MPs elected in 2015 will vote along pro-choice lines — Trudeau said the decision to have an abortion belongs to the woman who's pregnant.
"I don't know that there's anyone in this country that is in favour of abortions. But what I am very much in favour of is a woman's right to make that determination on her own, in consultation with the medical community, in consultation with whoever she chooses to consult," Trudeau said.
"It is not for a room full of predominantly male legislators to take away those rights from women."
Always tell someone how you feel because opportunities are lost in the blink of an eye but regret can last a lifetime.

Well, he has a point about abortion being a woman's choice. I for one am not in favor of telling someone what to do with their bodies and unborn child. While I am not pro-abortion by any means, I can understand the fury women may have about a group of men deciding what women should do with an unwanted pregnancy. My concern as a woman comes with abortion's aftermath as well as this trend of women aborting a child like they are tossing away candy.
In my high school I will never forget teenage girls having abortions as if it was some sort of fad at the moment. As I grew older and studied the issue, I learned of possible cancers and other medical complications that can happen with abortion. In the end it is a woman's choice, but I feel as of late this choice isn't taken so seriously and done so easily. That frightens me. The lack of compassion for an unborn life.
