Here is the Official Canadian Medical Association's view on the subject. I feel it is best to leave this discussion out of parliament and put it into a self-regulating health profession. It makes the decision based on health and not on Religion. personal views nor on what 320ish parliament members cast their vote for.

OF NOTE: is that the Canadian Medical Associations definition of a Viable Fetus is 20 weeks.
I agree. I think you'd be extremely challenged in Canada to find a doctor who would perform a late-term elective abortion. These days the NICU sees 23 weekers around 500g.
