Scope and content

This recording includes different sound recordings relating to abortion from the CJOH segment on abortion. The first portion of the segment covers CARAL's press conference on abortion access following the Supreme Court decision to strike abortion from the Criminal Code in January 1988. The segment also covers both sides of the abortion debate, including the activities of Manitoba pro-life protestors ; BC Premier Bill Vander Zalm's anti-choice attempt to challenge provincial funding for abortions ; Kim Campbell's disagreement with Vander Zalm ; pro-choice plans to open a clinic for free abortions ; and various demonstrations for and against the medical procedure. Following this segment, this recording contains the first part of an anti-choice film called "Feel the Hearbeat," produced by the group Alliance for Life. The film focuses on giving birth as more "courageous" than having an abortion, discusses pregnancy counselling centers, and argues that teenagers are able to raise babies as long as they have the proper support.
