Quebec Officials Seek Local Site for Post-22-Week Abortions.
In an attempt to save money that now is used to send women to the United States for abortions after 22 weeks, Quebec health officials said September 10 they are looking for someone to perform late abortions in the province, Canadian Press (CP) reported. Quebec currently spends about $5,000 for each of these abortions.
Every abortion clinic now operating in Canada refuses to perform abortions beyond 22 weeks, which is about the beginning of the sixth month. However, the Quebec government is encouraging a newly trained abortionist to open a clinic next year that will include such "services," according to CP.
"The right to an abortion is well-recognized in Quebec and Canada," Cathy Rouleau, a spokeswoman for Quebec Health Minister Philippe Couillard, told CP. "We have an obligation to get a patient the help that she needs."
In 2003, Quebec sent 30 women to the U.S. for such abortions. Many were sent to the Wichita, Kansas, clinic of notorious abortionist George Tiller, according to Canadian Physicians for Life.
Officials attempted to justify these abortions by saying they were medically necessary. However, Couillard admitted to CBC Radio that late abortions are often "related to congenital malformations but also sometimes for other reasons."
