Justin Trudeau Tells Student Critical of Abortion to Do More ‘Praying’ on the Topic

'Well, it sounds like you need to do a little more thinking, and a little more praying on it.'

WINNIPEG, Manitoba (LifeSiteNews) — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has once again signaled his unwavering support for abortion, telling a young man critical of the deadly practice to do more “praying” on the topic.

The video, which was first posted to social media last Wednesday, shows Trudeau engaging in a discussion on a variety of topics, including abortion, with a young man on University of Manitoba’s Winnipeg campus.

In the exchange, the young man identified himself as a supporter of Maxime Bernier’s libertarian People’s Party of Canada (PPC), citing the fact that the party is “mostly Christian” and opposed to vaccine mandates, further telling Trudeau that he himself is also “personally” opposed to abortion.

Trudeau, deploying a common pro-abortion tactic, pressed the young man on if he would still oppose the murder of an unborn baby even if the child in question was conceived through “rape.”

Falling for the rhetorical trap, the young man departed from the pro-life position — which opposes the murder of all children in the womb regardless of circumstance — saying cases of rape is “where it gets complicated.”

“No, no it doesn’t get complicated. It’s either yes, or no,” replied Trudeau.

“Women get raped all the time, and it’s something that we have to take seriously,” added the pro-abortion politician.

The young man replied by saying that he is “split” on the issue, and that he “honestly” doesn’t know whether or not he supports the killing of a child in such an instance.

“Well, it sounds like you need to do a little more thinking, and a little more praying on it,” remarked Trudeau, putting an end to the brief debate.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is a vile person. Utterly reprehensible in every way.

Women do not get raped all the time. Define “all the time.”

Women do like turning things they later regret doing voluntarily, into stories where “things were forced on me, someone else made me do it.”

Abortions done because rape is cited are less than 1/2 of 1% of all abortions.

Rape is also one of the most lied about crimes as well.

Pray on it so you can believe what I believe, that abortion is great from a biblical standpoint.

I have my own issues, but I am very glad I don’t have Castro’s sons issues.

According to statistics I have seen, about 5% of rapes result in pregnancy, and pregnancies from rape account for 1% of abortions. I am not discounting the horror of rape at all, or of conceiving by rape, but the facts are that almost all abortions are done for other reasons. Trudeau and his ilk should do more praying and thinking on that; or start thinking and praying on that.

Next up: incest. Less than 0.5 of abortions.

Hey, InJustin! There are some things that one really does not have to pray about.

Really? You were asking a Democrat/socialist to think? Not going to happen. 🙄

What your graph may mean is that women who are troubled in mind, or in bad relationships, may be both more likely to choose abortion, and to be murdered or to commit suicide, or to suffer a fatal accident. The abortion is not necessarily what leads to murder and suicide; it is an indication of a life at higher risk to start with. Giving birth may not restore mental health or stability.

Further, Finland thirty years ago and more was a homogeneous, white, wealthy society with universal healthcare and generous public welfare spending. The findings may not apply to the US today.
