Responding to turbuleht social issues with inaction, she says Canadian politicians have decided to wait for abortion crusader Dr. Henry Morgentaler or champion of the unborn Joe Borowski to win over the public before handing down their rulings on what will be the law of the land. * : “Canadian public policy makers are like dustmen sweeping the streets after the demonstration has gone by,” writes Collins. “They change controverisal laws carefully, years after public practice has made them obsolete.” Her book is a meticulous study of the courtroom dramas, the demonstrations, the fanatics, the govern- ment reports and the lobbying that have marked the abortion battle. The present law, which permits abortions provided they are approved by a committee of doctors and performed in_a /provincially accredited hospital, was intended to appease doctors, writes Collins.

It grew from a network of 75 small groups in Canada to an organization with the power to deposit on i Hill -a 350,000-si, petition against Meanwhile, feminists realized the law entrenched existing inequities of accéss to abortion and did not aim to provide all women the same rights to an abortion if they should choose one. = The Criminal Code changes provided the impetus for a pro-abortion caravan to Ottawa in 1970, where women deposited the tools of backstreet abortionists on the lawn of 24 Sussex Drive and decided to form a Cahada-wide network to lobby for abortion rights. DEBATE BEGINS Those were the first stirrings of the debate about fetal rights and the rights of the mother that has since become mired in a stalemate. _ It’s “a debate that is not really a debate” said Collins, because there is no ground for discussion, no room for the ys it ion” that would heal the division. a > ey SS septembers, 1985 Castlegar News Visit Jasper Ans Cozy Alpine comfort MOTOR LODGE The choice for discriminating families entitled bortii SETS CODE Aside from the familiar principals in the controversy, less visibh ivists-in-th In fact, many doctors had been performing abortions, without prosecution, prior to the 1969 amendments to the Criminal Code which comprise the present law, she says.

Until then, neither the anti-abortion nor the feminist movement was active in Canada. “If the public hadn't started yelling after the law was changed, probably because of the professional impact . . . they would have liberalized it even further,” said Collins, ‘the pro- and anti-abortion movements; women who have had abortions; Crown prosecutors; feminists in the uncom- fortable position of opposing abortions; and people of the church who favor freedom of choice.

Little space is devoted to discussion of such topics as daycare, contraception, support for women who decide to keep their children, or helping women fight forced abortions and sterilization.
