Canada Is A Complicit Partner In Sex-Selection Abortion

April 14, 2016 by Andrea Mrozek 3 Comments

My latest, up at Huff Post:

In the middle of writing this piece, I got an urgent email. A woman with an in-utero diagnosis of trisomy aborted her second trimester child. She is now suicidal. Did I know of anyone who could help?

This is the modern face of abortion that few publicize, though suicide and suicidal ideation are known risks when abortion is chosen for wanted pregnancies. (There’s a new documentary coming out called Hush that explains this. It is being pre-screened April 16, 2016.)

Canada loses roughly 280 human beings to abortion every day. Annually, that’s like losing the number of people in Waterloo, Ontario.

What bothers us about this number, what bothers us about the post-abortive suicidal woman is basically… nothing at all. We care only that when abortion happens, females and males die in equal numbers.

It’s not Indo-Canadians alone who have a problem. Cultural change is needed in many more communities and homes across Canada. We can start by re-evaluating our own openness to abortion at any time, for any reason.

    For anyone who can read French, L’enfant d’avril is a short book written by a woman from Quebec who ended her wanted pregnancy after a genetic disorder was diagnosed late in the second trimester. She is very honest about the whole experience and how hard it was on her. It’s available at the Ottawa library.

    I wonder if anyone would considering translating it?! Thanks for the tip Marissa. I’d be very interested and could try to revive my French by reading it…
