Well, I doubt you'll be able to find ANY information about this on a case by case level, because it's all private, and that's as it should be of course. So I think you're asking for something that's fairly impossible to provide.

But I don't need to provide it anyway because I don't really need to be convinced - I'm fine with Canada's abortion laws as they stand. Really, my view is that no matter where you stand on this, it's necessary to acknowledge that there isn't a clear, obvious answer on questions related to abortion and acting like there is demonstrates extreme intellectual laziness and self-righteous arrogance. But since you're kind of required to find a place to stand, because declining to take a position is a position of its own, I'm willing to listen to a much wider variety of views about this without TOO much pre-judgment... I mean there are anti-natalists out there whose view is legitimately that every pregnancy should result in an abortion, and while I have never been able to find someone who could make a convincing case for any version of that theory I'm at least in principle willing to hear them out.
