Document Summary

There is a very strong consensus among canadians when it comes to the desirability of democratic rights and freedoms: the canadian charter of rights and freedoms under section 7 describes life, liberty and security of the person, section 251 of the criminal code: made it extremely hard for women to get abortions unless it was looked at by a therapeutic abortion committee which consisted of at least 3 doctors, mergenthaler argued against section 251 saying it made it way to hard for women to get abortions (especially for those who really needed them, not only did morgantaler argue against section 251 of the criminal code but he also defied it and performed abortions in his medical practice, also used 7 of the charter to back up his argument saying that not allowing women to not have abortions is against their liberty to life, liberty and security of the person.
