Thanks for clarifying. Interesting that the doctors can be criminally prosecuted after 24 weeks- so the law was struck down for government set criteria, but not for criminalizing health care workers providing abortions after 24 weeks. So 24 works is when the Canadian gov has determined life begins, I guess. I think most Canadians have no idea what the law is, including myself up until the Robert Barnes/Viva Frei podcast, and then it was incomplete.
However, I have witnessed the Right to Life marches from my office window and they are absolutely massive - and filled with so many young people! - so there are a lot of people in Canada that obviously do know the law and want changes. It's by far the largest of all of the protests I've witnessed, except maybe the truckers but that's hard to judge due to difference in the way they protested.
