Argus Posted July 2, 2015 Report Share Posted July 2, 2015 I think the courts made a sensible decision to leave the choice a matter between a woman and her doctor. . That's not what the courts did. They disapproved of the way the restrictions were unevenly applied and directed the government to come up with a fairer, more streamlined system. They did not actually say that there couldn't be restrictions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On Guard for Thee Posted July 2, 2015 Report Share Posted July 2, 2015 (edited) Have you ever read the SC judgement? Or even a summary of it? Yes I have. They ruled the existing laws on abortion were unconstitutional in that it violates section 7 of the charter.

Argus Posted July 2, 2015 Report Share Posted July 2, 2015 Yes I have. They ruled the existing laws on abortion were unconstitutional. Yes, but because they were unevenly applied across the country and because the process could be lengthy enough to endanger a woman's life by delaying the abortion too long. Not because they felt abortions could not be restricted because they were a 'right'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poochy Posted July 2, 2015 Report Share Posted July 2, 2015 They completely removed it from the criminal code. That law was deemed unconstitutional, there was never a declaration that their shall be no abortion laws of any kind, or that it was only a woman's choice in all circumstances, that wasn't said, the government simply failed to pas new laws, and no one has bothered to try since.

I haven't heard anyone say there was any such declaration. And also if you read my post, you would know it is not only the woman's choice. For one thing its not likely anyone would attempt to perform a abortion of themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those rights were deemed by the SC to be infringed by the existing laws. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
