Poster: Abortion laws – why we don’t need any

Canada has successfully had no abortion law for 36 years.

The Supreme Court of Canada struck down the previous law in 1988 as unconstitutional
because it violated women’s bodily autonomy. The law was never replaced and the medical
profession regulates abortion the same way as for other healthcare.

The poster lists the many harms of a law versus the many benefits of having no law – including social and economic impacts, medical impacts, health impacts, and legal and political impacts.

This poster was presented at the FIAPAC conference in Brussels Belgium on Sep 20/21, 2024, by Joyce Arthur of ARCC. FIAPAC is the International Federation of Abortion and Contraception Professionals.
