I would like to make a few comments about the recent legislation passed in New York city regarding third-trimester abortions.<\/p>\n

Many people are very concerned about this legislation and are surprised that such legislation would be desired or even agreed upon. I\u2019d like to highlight a few points about this specifically for our Canadian climate.<\/p>\n

Firstly,\u00a0in Canada, we do not have a law regarding abortion<\/strong> so there are no legal regulations surrounding this procedure. In fact, in Canada a baby can be aborted up until the moment of birth \u2013 as surprising as that may seem, that is our legal state.<\/p>\n

The second point is that there is no medical reason to abort a pregnancy in the third trimester to protect the mother’s health<\/strong>. If there were a condition requiring that the pregnancy be ended, the baby can be delivered prematurely and cared for. The baby may not survive, but the baby\u2019s life does not have to be intentionally ended to protect the mother\u2019s life.<\/p>\n

The third point is that we need to be very careful about assuming the value of a human life based on a prenatal diagnosis<\/strong>. We know of remarkable people who are impacting the world, whose prenatal diagnosis would have prompted abortion.\u00a0Nick Vujicic<\/a>\u00a0travels the world inspiring people with hope – and he has no arms and no legs. Tim Tebow, is another example, a professional football player whose mother was advised to abort because of a health condition she had. There are numerous examples, including examples of a mistaken prenatal diagnosis where the child was born completely healthy. We need to be careful in assuming that every negative prenatal diagnosis should be followed with an abortion, because sometimes even parents who know that their baby will not live, benefit from the time of bonding with their child, delivering their baby, and having time to say \u2018hello\u2019 and say \u2018goodbye\u2019. I understand this will not be for everyone but I think it\u2019s important that we step back and are mindful of what our language sounds like and how we\u2019re speaking about this.<\/p>\n

For those of you who may find yourself dealing with some of these difficult circumstances, I encourage you to reach out to your local pregnancy care centre. These are all situations where they can help walk alongside you as you make some very difficult decisions regarding your pregnancy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>
