Respond to “Can you bring yourself to call abortion on demand at all stages of pregnancy by anything but euphemisms??? I thought not, thanks for the admission.Canada is one of four countries in the world that have no restrictions on abortion according to a new study from an American pro-life organization. Gestational Limits on Abortion in the United States Compared to International Norms, a new report by Angelina Baglini of the Charlotte Lozier Institute, compares the gestational limits on abortion in the United States to the limits in 198 other countries, independent states, and regions. The other countries with no limits on abortion are China, North Korea, and Vietnam. Of the 198 countries, 59 permit “elective abortion” or “abortion on demand,” defined as providing abortion without restriction up to a certain point in the pregnancy. This does not include Australia, where only some states permit elective abortion. The other 139 countries demand that there be some particular reason for getting the procedure done. These include Croatia, Macedonia, and Montenegro, which have limits on abortion past 10 weeks conception, as well as Belgium and Germany, where the restriction is past 12 weeks conception. Sweden starts limiting abortion after 18 weeks pregnancy. Countries with a complete ban on abortion (not mentioned in the report) include Nicaragua, El Salvador, and Chile. In the United Kingdom, abortions are permitted in the first 24 weeks as long as two doctors ascertain that abortion is less harmful to the woman’s physical and mental health than pregnancy. ...“The definition of human life in the Canadian Criminal code, which states that a child becomes a human being when it has completely proceeded, in a living state, from the body of its mother, is just one example of how Canada completely ignores pre-natal human life, and runs contrary to science, logic and international humanitarian standards, said Natalie Sonnen, executive director of Life Canada, in a press release for the Charlotte Lozier Institute. “This study demonstrates how radical the US and particularly Canada are in regards to international norms for abortion.” - See more at: theinterim.com
