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 »

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.

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.
