Currently, in Canada, abortion is legal at all stages of pregnancy. In Canada, any mother over the age of 12 can legally have an abortion in a healthcare setting such as a clinic or hospital without the consent of her family doctor, family, parents, or partner. In every province and territory in the country, the cost of abortions at hospitals and/or clinics is covered by the government.
Approximately 100,000 recorded abortions are performed each year in Canada. Since it was provisionally legalized by the Liberal government under Prime Minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau in 1969, over 4 million abortions have been committed in Canada. The federal government is continuously working to make abortion more accessible to Canadians.
