Aux dernières nouvelles, l’avortement sexo-sélectif est présent au Canada, mais Radio-Canada a découvert que le phénomène ne fait l’objet d’aucun suivi, ni du gouvernement fédéral ni des provinces. Même les chercheurs peinent à étudier l’évolution de cette pratique controversée.

🚨CENSORSHIP ALERT🚨: Recently Meta (Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp) removed and/or severely restricted the accounts of over 50 reproductive health, and LGBTQIA2S+ advocacy organizations globally according to The Guardian.

Overnight, past 2 a.m., the Alberta United Conservative Party passed Bill 9, a bill to **strip away the right to life of trans youth** in order to impose on them a gender-affirming care ban. We’re assisting to the beginning of a humanitarian crisis, in Canada, in real time.

Les voix demandant le retrait de l’article sur l’avortement du projet de constitution du gouvernement Legault s’accumulent. Le Conseil du statut de la femme s’y est ajouté mardi. « L’avortement est reconnu dans l’ensemble du Canada comme tout autre soin de santé : il doit continuer à en être ainsi »

« On ne comprend pas comment le gouvernement peut maintenir une position aussi ouvertement discriminatoire. Les conséquences sur la vie de ces femmes sont désastreuses », déplore Jess Legault, coordonnatrice générale de la Fédération du Québec pour le planning des naissances (FQPN).

Billboards with anti-abortion messages will soon be coming down in Kelowna. For many years, a local billboard company allowed the signs along Highway 97 through West Kelowna. but pressure from a local pro-choice advocate has led to a policy change.

Des « attitudes et discours anti-avortement » sont présents dans le réseau de la santé québécois, selon un rapport de recherche par la FQPN. Ses auteurs recommandent notamment de renforcer la formation universitaire médicale sur l’interruption volontaire de grossesse.

Reproductive rights groups do NOT want the Quebec government to enshrine abortion rights in the province's proposed constitution. First, it's not really a constitution - it's a regular law that can be amended. And that would turn it into an anti-choice weapon to restrict abortion.

Créer une loi sur l’accès à l’avortement donnerait au contraire des munitions aux groupes anti-choix. Malgré des prétentions, elle resterait une loi comme les autres et pourrait être modifiée à majorité simple par n’importe quel gouvernement.

Christine St-Pierre, ministre de la Condition féminine de 2007 à 2012 : L’attitude paternaliste du ministre Jolin-Barrette, qui dit «comprendre» les inquiétudes de tous ceux et celles qui lui demandent de faire marche arrière, est une insulte à leur intelligence.

Congrats to our ally the BC Humanist Assoc. for ending anti-choice billboards in Kelowna BC! Some companies were accepting anti-choice ads but refusing pro-choice ads. Unfortunately, they still refuse pro-choice ads despite them meeting legal and advertising standards. Anti-choice ads do NOT.

This 5-minute video is a good overview of what’s happening in Quebec around abortion with Bill 1 (and also Bill 2). Pro-choice advocates fear if Quebec writes abortion back into the law, even with the goal of protecting it, it could backfire — pointing to the U.S. as an example of what can go wrong.

Critics say that Quebec's constitution bill would erode human rights and limit dissent, and could reopen an unnecessary debate on abortion. Some civil society groups are calling for it to be withdrawn outright.

Le gouvernement Legault ne fait pas confiance aux tribunaux pour protéger le droit à l’avortement à long terme, a laissé entendre mercredi le ministre de la Justice, Simon Jolin-Barrette.

Quebec's Legault government does not trust the courts to protect the right to abortion in the long term, said Justice Minister Simon Jolin-Barrette, who wants to enshrine the right in his draft Quebec constitution. Women's groups, doctors, and lawyers disagree with him.

Two Quebec medical associations are warning that contraception, abortion, cervical cancer screening, pregnancy care, and gynecological exams will be seriously undermined by Bill 2.

Do not enshrine the right to abortion into law! Quebec's lawyers’ association (Barreau du Québec) says that spelling out the right to abortion in the planned Quebec constitution risks “reopening” the abortion debate. It politicizes the issue and creates a target for anti-choice groups.

458 femmes et médecins ont signé la lettre « La pérennité des cliniques d’avortement est menacée de façon urgente et existentielle » exigeant que le gouvernement du Québec protéger les services d’avortement, et de cesser toute tentative de légiférer sur l’avortement.

En voulant ajouter la liberté d’avortement dans la Constitution du Québec, le gouvernement Legault offre une nouvelle « cible à abattre » à l’association antichoix Campagne Québec-Vie, affirme son président, Georges Buscemi.

Depuis [l’arrêt] Morgentaler, on a fait passer la question de l’interruption de grossesse de façon pleine et entière dans les actes médicaux. La société dans n’intervient plus pour dire aux femmes ce qu’elles devraient faire de leur corps. Et ça, c’est la protection optimale.

MaryLou Driedger attended the launch of Manitoba author Harriet Zaidman’s book What Friends Are For, a novel set in early 1980s Winnipeg in which the main character needs an abortion. The fact that North Dakota (right beneath MB) recently banned abortion is a chilling reminder of the stakes.

ARCC has signed this open letter, urging PM Carney to safegaurd Canada's feminist foreign policy commitments at a time of escalating global instability and mounting attacks on human rights.

An in-depth look at the use of anti-choice graphic images at the University of Toronto, by Julianne Wisner. The City of Toronto has jurisdiction over U of T land, and unfortunately its Legal Dept steadfastly refuses to do anything about the graphic images at the university or anywhere in the city.

The Alberta UCP passed virtually all of resolutions at its weekend convention. One called for an end to “public funding for third-trimester abortions, except in cases where the physical health of the mother is at serious risk.” It passed. Here's ARCC's fact check: tinyurl.com/yzbed8xh

Jean-François Cliche : Il n’existe effectivement aucune loi au Canada qui interdit formellement de pratiquer un avortement passé un certain stade de la grossesse. Cependant, les IVG passé 21 semaines sont très rares, ne représentant qu’environ de 1 % du total.

Really sad to see this. Please donate to Planned Parenthood Ottawa here! ppottawa.ca/get-involved...

Dr. Jen Gunter has a warning for Canadians who don't want to descend into fascism: "The National Post sounded a right-wing dog whistle about abortion, and you need to pay attention. We have lived this in the United States, and trust me when I tell you, this is how it starts."

Pour une deuxième fois en moins de deux ans, le Barreau du Québec avertit le gouvernement Legault de ne pas légiférer au sujet de l’avortement puisqu’il risque de fragiliser ce droit bien plus que de le protéger.

The 2025 Bentley Awards have been won by Sexual Health Nova Scotia, and Options for Sexual Health in BC. Congratulations! This award from Action Canada for Sexual Health and Rights, is for organizations that go the extra mile to ensure that sexual and reproductive healthcare is available to all.

Frédérique Chabot, directrice générale de Action Canada pour la santé et les droits sexuels, sépare le vrai du faux du contenu de ces vidéos et parle des normes qui entourent le droit à l’avortement au Canada.

Le cabinet de la ministre québécoise responsable de la Condition féminine, Caroline Proulx, assure qu’il n’a pas l’intention de se pencher sur le dossier des avortements tardifs.

Des médecins et des avocates sont inquiètes au sujet d’une clause sur le droit à l’avortement prévue dans le projet de constitution québécoise. Elles craignent que légiférer pour assurer ce droit ne mène finalement à des contestations judiciaires et affaiblissent leurs droits.

ARCC has submitted an official complaint about anti-choice bus ads specifically targeting students in Kamloops. Parents in the school district are also calling for their removal saying that students shouldn't be exposed to “anti-choice images and messaging” while on public buses. #BCPoli

The UCP gov't is playing into Trump-style politics, and making it even harder for people to access essential services. Healthcare is personal -- not political! People needing an abortion later in pregnancy deserve care and compassion. Not punishment and medical debt. #ABPoli

@lanapayne.bsky.social, Unifor Local 114 drivers bus our kids to school on buses displaying anti-choice ads that intrude on students’ spaces? Everyone seems to be cowardly caving to the Kamloops Pro-Life Society. Take them on! www.castanetkamloops.net/news/Kamloop... @abortionrightscan.bsky.social

In Canada, an anti-choice disinformation campaign is targeting later abortions. Undercover videos at 4 clinics show staff handling an anti-choice fake patient with compassion and support. Abortion is healthcare, Canada has no laws or gestational limits, and patients' needs are respected.

From Action Canada: "In Canada, we believe in compassion, dignity, and evidence-based medicine. Personal medical decisions belong to people, not politicians.”

Alberta just introduced Bill 9, which exists for one and only one purpose: deleting the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms as it pertains to trans kids, denying them the right to life and stripping their healthcare away. This is cruel, anti-democratic and anti-constitutional.
