Justin Bieber shares his views on abortion, sex, health care

Justin Bieber is getting political in the new issue of Rolling Stone. (Plus his hair is off his face!).

"I really don't believe in abortion," he says. "It's like killing a baby?"

When asked how he feels about the procedure when it comes to victims of rape, Bieber responded, "Um. Well, I think that's really sad, but everything happens for a reason. I guess I haven't been in that position, so I wouldn't be able to judge that."

His stance should come as no surprise: He was raised by a born-again Christian mother, Pattie Mallette, notes the Huffington Post, and his faith is evident in his new film.

"I don't think you should have sex with anyone unless you love them," Bieber says. When asked if he believes in abstinence until marriage, Bieber – who has been snapped snuggling up with Selena Gomez – seems wary: "I think you should just wait for the person you're ... in love with."

In the interview, Bieber also weighs in on the U.S. health care system.

"You guys are evil," he says. "Canada's the best country in the world. We go to the doctor and we don't need to worry about paying him, but here, your whole life, you're broke because of medical bills. My bodyguard's baby was premature, and now he has to pay for it. In Canada, if your baby's premature, he stays in the hospital as long as he needs to, and then you go home."
