In the face of this ongoing war, abortion services seem difficult to access, even in a country where the practice is legal.

The event marked a turning point in history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Gisele_Halimi_a_lawyer_who_instigated_the_right_to_abortion\"><\/span>Gis\u00e8le Halimi, a lawyer who instigated the right to abortion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gis\u00e8le Halimi was born on July 27, 1927 in Tunisia and died on July 28, 2020 in Paris. <strong>A French woman<\/strong> <strong>of Tunisian origin<\/strong> and a <strong>famous lawyer<\/strong>, she was also a Franco-Tunisian politician and a feminist activist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>young Gisele Halimi<\/strong> signed the manifesto of the 343 sluts (a petition presented on April 5, 1971 asking for the legalization of abortion in France). In the document, she quotes: &#8220;&#8230; I had an abortion&#8230; I am a lawyer who broke the law&#8221;. This statement will result in a disciplinary summons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The lawyer was a fervent supporter of <strong>free access to contraception and<\/strong> free <strong>abortion<\/strong>. With Jean Rostand and Simone de Beauvoir, she founded the feminist movement &#8221; <strong>Choisir la cause des femmes<\/strong> &#8221; in 1971. The trio campaigned for the decriminalization of abortion and lobbied for the revision of the 1920 law prohibiting fertility control for women. When Simone de Beauvoir died, she replaced him at the head of the association.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_a_case_Marie-Claire\"><\/span>What a case Marie-Claire?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Marie-Claire Chevalier<\/strong> was only a young girl when she became a victim of rape. A boy from her high school, Daniel P, was the perpetrator of the sexual <a href=\"https:\/\/avocat-montreal.ca\/en\/civil-law\/which-lawyer-to-choose-for-an-assault\/\">assault<\/a>. The rape took place in 1971, a period that was unfavorable to abortion. She then sought the help of her mother, an employee of the RATP. This one cannot however cover the expenses of abortion, at the time with 4500 francs. The victim then turned to one of her colleagues and had an abortion for 1200 francs. The operation became complicated and developed an infection and a hemorrhage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Having heard about her abortion, her rapist reported the crime to the police. The police then seized Marie-Claire. In prison, she hears about <strong>Gis\u00e8le Halimi<\/strong>. She asked the lawyer to help her defend herself. This is how <strong>the Bobigny trial<\/strong> began. The defense <strong>chose the cause of women<\/strong> and condemned the injustice of the 1920 law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>verdict of<\/strong> the <strong>trial of Bobigny<\/strong> leads to the release (not guilty) of Marie-Claire. The<strong>analysis of<\/strong> the <strong>trial of Bobigny<\/strong> then leads to the <strong>Veil law<\/strong>. Law of January 1975, this one decriminalizes the voluntary interruption of pregnancy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_history_of_abortion_rights_in_Canada\"><\/span>The history of abortion rights in Canada<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dr. <strong>Henry Morgentaler<\/strong> was the precursor of the right to abortion in Canada, protected by jurisprudence. The judgment bearing his name<strong>(the Morgentaler decision<\/strong>) was rendered by the Supreme Court in <strong>1988<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the record, the doctor had a clinic in Toronto where he performed abortions in a clandestine manner. The authorities, having discovered the situation, convicted the doctor under<strong>section 251 of the <\/strong>Canadian<strong>Criminal Code <\/strong>, which prohibits any attempt at abortion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At his trial in 1988, the Supreme Court ruled against the section, pleading &#8221; <strong>injury to the physical and emotional integrity<\/strong> &#8221; of a woman. The ruling decriminalized abortion in Canada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Following his trial, the doctor worked hard to defend women&#8217;s rights until his death on May 29, 2013.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_right_to_abortion_under_Canadian_law\"><\/span>The right to abortion under Canadian law<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Abortion was decriminalized in Canada in 1988, but it has no federal law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_pro-abortion_settlement\"><\/span>The pro-abortion settlement<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Morgentaler case put an end to <strong>therapeutic abortion committees<\/strong>. Prior to 1988, they imposed their authority on access to abortion. A year later, the Supreme Court ruled in favour of this right by emphasizing the<strong>identity of the fetus<\/strong>. The Canadian justice system does not recognize it as a human being. Consequently, it cannot enjoy <strong>the rights enshrined in the Charter of Rights and Freedoms<\/strong>. The justice system leaves it up to the mother to decide whether to continue or terminate her pregnancy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Conservative doctors sometimes assert their right to &#8220;conscientious objection&#8221; following a request for an abortion, despite its decriminalization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"536\" src=\"https:\/\/avocat-montreal.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/droit-avortement-2-1024x536.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2166\" srcset=\"https:\/\/avocat-montreal.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/droit-avortement-2-1024x536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/avocat-montreal.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/droit-avortement-2-300x157.jpg 300w, https:\/\/avocat-montreal.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/droit-avortement-2-768x402.jpg 768w, https:\/\/avocat-montreal.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/droit-avortement-2.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Improved_rights_of_access_to_abortion\"><\/span>Improved rights of access to abortion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the absence of an abortion law, provinces currently deal independently with access to health care and abortion services. There are some exceptions across the country. For example, the conservative Maritime province in eastern Canada, New Brunswick, limits the service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Canadian government is moving towards <strong>improving legal access to abortion<\/strong>. The Canadian Prime Minister has mobilized several of his ministers to begin an evaluation of the issue, with the objective of <strong>protecting women&#8217;s rights<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The improvement project also involves an <strong>investment of over $3.5 million<\/strong>. The funding will optimize access to service and will be directed to organizations that support women in need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the same time, the government wants to reassure that the <strong>right to abortion<\/strong> is effective <strong>in Canada<\/strong>, contrary to the United States where it threatens to dissolve.<em><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Abortion_procedures_in_Canada\"><\/span>Abortion procedures in Canada<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Canadians are still in favour of abortion. The practice remains legal despite minority challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Generalized_access_in_the_first_trimester_of_pregnancy\"><\/span>Generalized access in the first trimester of pregnancy<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is no <strong>maximum time limit<\/strong> in the law for <strong>losing the right to an abortion<\/strong>. In the majority of cases, the procedures and procedures for the operation are carried out without hindrance during the first trimester of pregnancy, that is, during the first 12 weeks of amenorrhea. This is when <strong>the medical abortion<\/strong>, also known as the abortion pill, takes place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During this time, you can have the procedure in a specialized clinic, hospital or CLSC (local community service center). Some health care facilities mandate family physicians to supervise it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Limited_access_in_the_second_trimester_of_pregnancy\"><\/span>Limited access in the second trimester of pregnancy<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As the <strong>second trimester<\/strong> approaches, <strong>complications<\/strong> arise. After the <sup>23rd<\/sup> week of amenorrhea, many health care facilities refuse the practice, except in exceptional cases. Doctors accept if they find an <strong>incurable fetal anomaly<\/strong> or endangerment of <strong>the mother<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In case of refusal, women turn to the <strong>Montreal Abortion Appointment Centre<\/strong>. Some even travel abroad, to countries where the law seems to be flexible. In this case, health insurance will take over and cover the travel costs in addition to the medical costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_100_free_service\"><\/span>A 100% free service<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Abortion remains a <strong>free operation<\/strong> for most Canadian women. Quebec health insurance recognizes the practice and covers the surgical fees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even without insurance, it remains financially accessible under certain conditions. An immigrant woman who has not yet received her health insurance card (but has taken the necessary steps to obtain one) can have an abortion on a voluntary basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A refugee woman covered by the <strong>Interim Federal Health Program<\/strong> may be eligible for affordability of the practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A woman from an out-of-province may be reimbursed by her province of origin. She must find out in advance about the health insurance plan in her region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_intervention_of_a_lawyer_for_the_right_to_an_abortion\"><\/span>The intervention of a lawyer for the right to an abortion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Abortion is a right granted to all women. However, the intervention of a lawyer may be required in case of difficulty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_legalization_of_abortion\"><\/span>The legalization of abortion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Abortion has been legalized, but it is still a controversial issue in society. As such, the law gives precedence to &#8221; <strong>the primacy of the person<\/strong> &#8220;. It prohibits all forms of infringement of the dignity of the person and defends respect for the human being from birth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The law also recognizes that a pregnant woman who refuses to continue her pregnancy may request an expert (a midwife or doctor) to interrupt the proceedings. This provision implies a premature act and therefore an induced abortion performed for medical reasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even so, the abortion may be spontaneous. In this case, it is a <strong>miscarriage<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When_to_call_a_lawyer\"><\/span>When to call a lawyer?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>late period of time<\/strong> unfavorable for surgery, <strong>ethical<\/strong> and moral <strong>issues<\/strong> that take precedence over the patient&#8217;s will are often the reasons for the <strong>refusal of abortion<\/strong> by medical specialists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this case, the presence of a lawyer is indispensable. He will help you to enjoy your <strong>right to abortion<\/strong>. Some legal experts are indignant about the need for a lawyer in such a case. They criticize health care facilities for believing themselves to be above Canadian law. They emphasize the right of women to terminate their pregnancy, regardless of the stage of the fetus.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Abortion is legal in Canada.
