Document Summary
These are all of the notes from week 10 in one file, they have more detail i just couldn"t remember the breakdown of the days. Simple case of human rights for the female/ mother: he has direct involvement in this. Former ndp cabinet member in manitoba: socially conservative. He protested the charter because there were no fetal rights, the biggest question around this is at what point is a fetus considered a person? o. Canada"s abortion debate was initially dominated by two men (biggest take away) Roe v. wade, 1973: us supreme court decision, abortion laws struck down in 46 of 50 states. Period of use social disarray: any state-imposed restrictions on abortion during the first 3 months of pregnancy violated a woman"s constitutional right to privacy . Intimidate women going to clinics (posting pro-life protestors: any parts in the usa that have commonality you can"t get an abortion (means that you can only get one if you get raped)
