Le Barreau avertit (encore) Québec de ne pas légiférer sur l’avortement
«Protéger la liberté» d’avoir un avortement dans une loi risque, au contraire, de limiter ce droit, prévient-il.

Alberta just introduced Bill 9, which exists for one and only one purpose: deleting the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms as it pertains to trans kids, denying them the right to life and stripping their healthcare away.
This is cruel, anti-democratic and anti-constitutional.

Le Québec Le Québec pourrait bientôt inscrire le droit à l’avortement dans sa Constitution. Ce geste risque paradoxalement de fragiliser l’accès réel des femmes à ce service, en plus de véhiculer une vision réductrice de la lutte féministe pour la justice reproductive.

Le projet de Loi 1 promet l’égalité, mais le droit à l’avortement reste menacé par des obstacles concrets et l’absence de réflexion féministe inclusive.
