Quebec sends 115 women to other provinces to get their abortions in 2022

Quebec sent 115 women to other provinces for abortions during fiscal year 2022-04-01 to 2023-03-31. Doctor's offices performed 45 abortions at a total cost of $12,377 ($235 each) and hospitals performed 70 abortions at a total cost of $100,850 ($1,441 each). I assume the more expensive abortions were late-term abortions because of the much higher cost. But I wasn't able to get the gestational ages of the abortions.

I was told they did not send any women to the US for abortions.

This is what I was told about the gestational ages of the abortions:

"We are unable to grant your request. In fact, according to the invoicing terms set out in the remuneration agreements for general practitioners and medical specialists, the wording of the procedures related to the payment of medical fees for abortions does not accurately identify the gestational age at the time of the procedure. Therefore, it is not possible to provide data specifying the gestational age at the time the services were rendered for fees billed to the Régie for abortions.

Furthermore, the Program for free universal access to voluntary medical interruption of pregnancy (abortion pill) allows women who want to terminate a pregnancy of 9 weeks or less to obtain the abortion pill free of charge. The Program also covers certain drugs related to a voluntary interruption of pregnancy, such as those used to control nausea. We do not hold information on gestational age when using the abortion pill."

Reported abortions in Canada are up

CIHI total reported abortions numbers are up in Canada. I say "reported" because we know what is reported, is under reported.

In fact hospital abortions are down while reported clinic abortions are up by about 30%.

And I still haven't heard back from Health Minister Eric Hoskins yet where I asked him for the total number of abortions broken down by hospitals, clinics and doctor's offices. What's he waiting for, the cows to come home?

Quebec wants to increase abortions

This is just plain weird. Quebecers are falling over themselves with their pro-abortion worldview.

Anne-Marie Messier, director of a clinic thinks that abortion makes women equal to men. She said:
“What we’re saying is family planning and access to abortions are fundamental — the No. 1 priority when it comes to equality between men and women."
Then the article goes on to talk about how there will be more abortions in Quebec when Health Minister Gaétan Barrette said:
"Far from restricting access to abortion, Bill 20 would improve it by asking doctors to see more patients and perform more procedures."
Good grief. Quebecers must be really messed up. You'd think that maybe there would be a goal to have less abortions and not more. Are they going to start advertising to get more women to kill their unborn babies? Is that where this is headed?

What a sad sad province.
