Good Morning #Canada
May 14th 1969, the Canadian Parliament passed Bill C-150, amending the Criminal Code to decriminalize birth control and legalize abortion for therapeutic reasons. Two decades later, in 1988, abortion was completely legalized. Worldwide abortion is allowed in 98% of countries in order to save a woman's life but performing abortion only on the basis of a woman's request is allowed in 34%., including Canada.
