« L’article 29 du projet de loi 1 ne garantit pas l’accès à l’avortement. Il le fragilise et ouvre la porte aux groupes antichoix à des leviers pour restreindre ce droit », précise Isabelle Rodrigue, intervenante et responsable des communications au Centre de femmes Entre Ailes.

Conservative Party conventions show the true colours of the party. Members want to repeal their policy to "not support any legislation to regulate abortion." That means re-criminalization. They'll also be voting on restricting trans rights, undoing the ban on "conversion therapy", and ending DEI.

Aux dernières nouvelles, l’avortement sexo-sélectif est présent au Canada, mais Radio-Canada a découvert que le phénomène ne fait l’objet d’aucun suivi, ni du gouvernement fédéral ni des provinces. Même les chercheurs peinent à étudier l’évolution de cette pratique controversée.

Les avortements sexo-sélectifs semblent diminuer dans d’autres pays. On ignore si c’est aussi le cas au Canada, qui ne fait pas de suivi du phénomène.

Overnight, past 2 a.m., the Alberta United Conservative Party passed Bill 9, a bill to **strip away the right to life of trans youth** in order to impose on them a gender-affirming care ban.

Les voix demandant le retrait de l’article sur l’avortement du projet de constitution du gouvernement Legault s’accumulent. 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 »
De plus en plus de groupes demandent à Jolin-Barrette de reculer sur l’avortement
Le Conseil du statut de la femme et l’Association des obstétriciens et gynécologues se sont ajoutés au concert des voix.

« On ne comprend pas comment le gouvernement peut maintenir une position aussi ouvertement discriminatoire. Les conséquences sur la vie de ces femmes sont désastreuses », déplore Jess Legault, coordonnatrice générale de la Fédération du Québec pour le planning des naissances (FQPN).

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.
Why Quebec’s plan to enshrine abortion rights is raising alarms
Civil society groups are warning that the Legault government’s plan to enshrine abortion rights in Quebec’s proposed constitution could have unintended consequences.

Créer une loi sur l’accès à l’avortement donnerait au contraire des munitions aux groupes anti-choix. Malgré des prétentions, elle resterait une loi comme les autres et pourrait être modifiée à majorité simple par n’importe quel gouvernement.

Avec le projet de loi 1 de Simon Jolin-Barrette, l’avortement est plus en péril qu’il ne l’a jamais été depuis sa décriminalisation en 1988.
