Secondly, the accurate information clearly states that “ In Canada, a woman cannot have an elective abortion past 24 weeks gestation. There are simply no doctors and no facilities that will allow for an elective termination at that point. In fact, there are only a few doctors in the entire country who are willing to perform abortions past 20 weeks.” You ought to know that abortion is legal in Canada. Or have you been living under a rock? You ought also to know (and you now have no excuse for not knowing) that doctors and health care agencies are in solidarity across Canada in NOT performing elective abortions after 24 weeks. You do know what 24 weeks means, don’t you? And you do know what an elective abortion means, don’t you? Christ….you are REALLY THAT DENSE?? You are that stunned--aren't you??Atlas Shrugged' , as I remember. You really really are as transparent as all Hell, don't you know? And you are one immoral and disturbed little son of a bitch--aren't you?Statistics Canada has reported that less than 1% of abortions take place past 20 weeks gestation .[1] The fact remains that nearly 90% of abortions in Canada take place before 13 weeks gestation . The belief that a woman makes the choice to have an abortion easily and without giving it much thought is especially inaccurate in instances of late-term abortion. Many women who have an abortion after 20 weeks originally wanted to have a child, but chose to have an abortion after discovering that her foetus was severely or fatally impaired, or upon the discovery that her own health or life is endangered. Other women need to access abortion services past 20 weeks because of extremely long wait-times or, especially in the case of young teenagers, because they were either not aware that they were pregnant or were in denial about being pregnant until the symptoms were no longer unavoidable. Whatever the reason a woman seeks to have an abortion past 20 weeks gestation, Canadians must know: abortion services in Canada are not uniformly accessible and late-term abortions are much more rare and difficult to access than abortions that take place within the first trimester of pregnancy.”
