Quebec’s Legislative Assembly Denounces C-484
April 18, 2008
Yesterday, the legislative assembly in Quebec voted unanimously against federal Bill C-484, which would create a new crime of causing injury to or the death of a foetus. This bill would elevate the foetus – even an embryo only weeks old – to a status equal with that of the adult woman, and could be used to erode abortion rights in Canada.
Earlier this week, Quebec’s Federation of Specialist Doctors, came out against this legislation.
