There are also some young girls out there, that had a baby by accident, but they can’t sacrifice their adolescence to take care of someone else. This is one of the reason why the access to abortion was established. Unfortunately, there is countries in the world that don’t accept abortion for different reasons, like in Philippines or in Haiti for example. A lot people don’t understand how much abortion is important, and how it can change a life.

The wait for abortion can be quite long. Many women in Quebec may have to wait until 23 weeks of pregnancy before they can access the procedure. They have a long time to get attached to their baby. They can also have a lot of questions about themselves until surrendering to a depression or other mental health problems. The after can be even worse for their mental health. Around 15% to 69% of women do postpartum depression, and at least 10% of them regret their choice. “What I want to say to the women of Quebec is that I will protect them,” said Martine Biron, Quebec’s minister for the status of women.

The risk of complication after the abortion is rare in Canada when you have access to a good doctor. The percentage of women that become sterile after an abortion are about 0,1%.

Many women in Quebec and in the world in general are not able to have a baby. Some of them can be mad, really sad, or can even start a depression after knowing that there are women that decide to have an abortion instead of keeping the baby. There are a lot of different opinions related to this situation.

The abortion is a sensitive subject in the US as the Trump administration has mixed views on it.  “The rights of women are always fragile, and they must be constantly vigilant.” Biron said about the situation. Despite all the different opinions, abortion is still the choice of women and no one should threaten access to it.
