Pro-life Movement
The pro-life movement is concerned that there are no legal restrictions against abortion in Canada, and that abortions are funded by provincial health care programs, even if the abortion is not for therapeutic reasons. A medical reason for obtaining an abortion is no longer required in Canada (except in Prince Edward Island) since the 1988 removal of abortion from the Criminal Code.
The pro-life movement in Canada is represented by the Catholic Church, Alberta Pro-life, Campaign Life Coalition, REAL Women of Canada, Abortion in Canada, Action Life (Ottawa) Inc., and, among other organizations.
