In 2013, Dr. Carolyn Bennett stated that Canadian law restricts late-term abortions after 24 weeks unless the mother’s life is at risk or the fetus has serious complications. However, a 2023 investigation by Alissa Golob revealed that clinics may not require medical reasons for later gestational abortions, with some staff indicating referrals could be made for abortions up to 32 weeks. Pro-abortion advocates criticized the videos as misleading, asserting they distort conversations to evoke emotional responses against abortion. Meanwhile, Alberta’s United Conservative Party plans to vote on a resolution to limit public funding for third-trimester abortions, except for serious health risks to the mother.
