The USA, and several other countries have enacted laws where the killing of a woman and her unborn fetus results in a double murder charge. However, abortion is still legal in all of these countries.
Personally, I am for abortion only when the woman is raped, or her health is in danger. Having said that, I believe it's a personal opinion, and the state should not interfere, but rather reflect the views of the majority of Canadians on this issue.
Saying that this type of law will lead to the criminalization of all abortions is not only absurd, but is just plain fear mongering by the pro-choice crowd. The law is more about punishment than criminalizing abortions. After all, this is a country that gave Henry Morgentaller the Order of Canada.
