In Canada, there are no specific laws about abortion and supporters say that's the way it should be. The procedure in this country is completely decriminalized and as one recent article stated it is health care and is no more governed by criminal law than knee surgery or intravenous antibiotics. A 2020 report from feminist lawyers Jennifer Taylor and Julianne Stevenson called "The Legal Framework for Abortion Access in Nova Scotia" has been shared widely since the U.S. Supreme Court’s recent decision to overturn Roe v. Wade ending constitutional protection for abortion in that country. Taylor and Stevenson spell out exactly what rights are affirmed for Canadians seeking an abortion under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. They also make clear the case and civil law, and human rights provisions that are fundamental to access in Canada, including the failed attempts to pass laws to restrict access.
