Five abortions, last one at 26 weeks – in Canada

April 29, 2013 by Faye Sonier 2 Comments

Late term abortions are happening in Canada because we have no legal restrictions on the procedure. We don’t know how frequently they occur because we don’t have access to statistics. They are happening for apparently any reason at all.

Talk show host Isabelle Maréchal could not believe her ears.

“I was 26 weeks,” said Karel.

The host was incredulous. “Oh wow, and they aborted you anyway?” she asked.

Karel: At the CLSC on Rue Sanguinet. They handle pregnancies of more than 24 weeks.

Host: Did you have a problem? Was it a [high-risk] pregnancy that endangered your life?

Karel: No, I had no problems.

    I still use the dictionary my mother used in high school, a 1964 Concise Oxford Dictionary of Current English. According to it, the word “abort” is only an intransitive verb, meaning “miscarry, have premature delivery of a child.” Today it is apparently a transitive verb, and the original subject of the verb has become its object (in the transcript above, at least). Did this change happen because the abortion lobby prefer to picture aborting mothers as victims rather than as accomplices or perpetrators? Perhaps the reason has to do with the change of meaning, since “abort” now commonly means to “voluntarily, forcibly, and prematurely remove the baby.”

    I’ve noticed that too, Jon. I grew up on a farm. If there was a cow who had had a positive check for pregnancy, but failed to produce a calf, then we would simply conclude that she had aborted. Later on, my parents made it clear to us that, when talking about people, you used the word miscarriage, but it was fine to use the word abortion when you talk about animals.

    And now, the average person who advocates for abortion can barely bring herself to use the word abortion. It has become such a strong, strong word, with such emotional connotations attached to it.
