Quebec Drops Measure to Make Killing Babies in Abortions is a Constitutional Right

After months of relentless opposition from pro-choice organizations, Quebec Justice Minister Simon Jolin-Barrette reluctantly removed a reference to abortion rights from his government’s proposed Quebec constitution.

The clause in question said, “the state protects women’s freedom to have recourse to a voluntary termination of pregnancy.”

It might seem strange that pro-choice advocates would oppose a move to enshrine the right to an abortion. After all, the primary mission of these organizations is to promote abortion rights.
