Abortion

ABORTION – Source Campaign Life Coalition

•  Since 1969, abortion has killed over 4.5 million preborn babies in Canada.

•  An estimated 100,000 induced abortions are committed annually in Canada

•  The Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI) reported 101,553 in 2023, although CIHI acknowledges this data is incomplete. While hospitals are required to report the number of abortions committed, such reporting is voluntary for private abortion facilities. Abortions that aren’t covered by the respective province’s health insurance plan aren’t necessarily included either.

•  In Canada, approximately 1 baby is aborted for every 4 born alive.

•  Almost a third of Canadian women over 45 are post-abortive.

•  Domestically, Canadians spend over $100 million on abortion every year ($1000+ x 100,000 abortions).

$1000/abortion is a fairly conservative estimate, so the total cost, especially considering complications, is possibly significantly greater than $100 million.

•  Abortions are funded with taxpayer dollars through every provincial health care system, despite the fact that polls show a majority of Canadians (67% in a 2011 poll) do not want their tax dollars going toward abortion unless it is a medical emergency.

•  Less than 0.5% of abortions are due to rape and incest.

•  Less than 1% of abortions are related to the physical health or disabilities of the fetus.

•  Approximately 2.5% of abortions are related to the life or health (mental or physical) of the mother.
