It doesn't do much for the line of those who support access to abortion that really they don't want abortion. Ideally there's a clinic and no one shows up and Morgentaler is out of business not because it's against the law but because no one wants an abortion.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7663998229877546776.post-43309514543873072702009-01-15T17:26:00.000-05:002009-01-15T17:26:00.000-05:00Abortion is heavily regulated within the health sy...Abortion is heavily regulated within the health system, and is very difficult to access after 20 weeks. Abortion is indeed not part of the criminal code. In Canada, it is considered a health issue, not a criminal issue. That is a good thing. <BR/><BR/>I stand by my statement that the anti-abortion movement is opposed to birth control. By "anti-abortion movement" I don't mean people who are personally opposed to abortion. I mean people who organize, picket abortion clinics, set up anti-abortion "pregnancy advice" centres, write letters to government on a regular and organized basis. I mean the main provincial and national organizations. They are officially opposed to sex education and birth control.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7663998229877546776.post-89342829604361534382009-01-15T17:15:00.000-05:002009-01-15T17:15:00.000-05:00Re: distortions of truth - "the government of Cana...Re: distortions of truth - "the government of Canada allows women to abort at anytime during pregnancy"<BR/><BR/>This is completely true. It is not illegal to abort a fetus at any time during pregnancy, including late in the final trimester. The latter applies whether or not the abortion is a medical necessity.<BR/><BR/>If you can find a doctor with no ethical scruples over aborting a fully formed fetus, away it goes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7663998229877546776.post-8798538719148060122009-01-15T07:51:00.000-05:002009-01-15T07:51:00.000-05:00As an aside...abortion is legal at anytime althoug...As an aside...abortion is legal at anytime although access to it is not available during the late stages of pregnancy.

That is why Advertising Standards Canada declared the first ad campaign deceitful (9 months, the length of time... etc.) and why they cannot say that "95% of women regret their abortions." If that is true, then prove it, with statistics. Oh but that's not possible is it? <BR/><BR/>It is, however, possible to expose and denounce the misinformation that is continually spewed from the anti-choice crowd.<BR/><BR/>Alberta publicly funds abortions and there is very little press given to the anti groups here; far less than in New Brunswick, for example. There are many pro-choice people in Alberta, and many conservatives are pro-choice [they realize that forcing women to give birth against their will is not only a criminal act, but rather difficult to enforce].Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7663998229877546776.post-11257784357019790672009-01-12T19:06:00.000-05:002009-01-12T19:06:00.000-05:00although i do not agree with the anti-choice stanc...although i do not agree with the anti-choice stance, y would u atempt to fight against their right to advertsie for their cause. the have a right to free speech, and if the advertising company sells them space, there is nothing you can do...."i dont agree with what you say i will defend to the death yuor right to say it"~Voltaire....plus this is alberta the biggest conservative stronghold in canada, give it upAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7663998229877546776.post-8025883585224426612009-01-12T07:20:00.000-05:002009-01-12T07:20:00.000-05:00Re: the "secret" pro-life caucus.
