“I think this is something that will continue to be questioned, and we must mobilize to defend it today,” said one pro-government activist.
“Free choice, the right to abortion, is one of the weakest,” says another protester.
Since 1988, abortion has not been a crime in Quebec. However, since 2007 the Conservative Party has introduced seven bills aimed at restricting abortion.
