-====== PBS110H: The Pre-Born Child and Canadian Law ====== +====== PBS110H: Campus Media Strategy ======
-These notes from the first half of André Schouten's 2013 NCLN Symposium talk, //A Legal Wasteland: The Pre-Born Child and Canadian Law// +
-  * Now: +
-    * Abortion totally legal since January 28, 1988 +
-    * Section 223 +
-  * history +
-    * pre-confederation "quick with child" (first time a mother feels her child move, around 16 weeks child was protected by law) +
-    * 1869 (first criminal code): abortion a crime at any time, punished by next stiffest penalty after death penalty +
-    * 1969: Trudeau's omnibus bill, therapeutic abortion committee +
-    * 1988: R. v. Morgentaler: unconstitutional on procedural grounds, because it unequally applied to Canadian women (in terms of abortion availability) +
-    * 1991: Bill C-43 fails; died in a tie vote +
-      * pro-life and pro-choice citizens were united against this bill, it wasn't a great bill +
-  * what does the criminal law say about the pre-born child? +
-    * Section 223(1), (2): +
-      * "child becomes a human being within the meaning of this Act when it has completely proceeded, in a living state, from the body of its mother whether or not (a) it has breathed, (b) it has independent circulation, or (c) the navel string is severed. (2) A person commits homicide when he causes injury to a child before or during its birth as a result of which the child dies after becoming a human being" +
-        * Does our criminal code refer to children using "it" elsewhere? +
-    * Section 238.(1) +
-      * (1) Everyone who causes the death, in the act of birth, of any child that has not become a human being, in such a manner that, if the child were a human being he would be guilty of murder, is guilty of an indictable offence and liable to imprisonment for life +
-    * R. v. Drummond, 1996, Ont. Ct. J. +
-      * 7 months pregnant, shotgun into cervix, pulled the trigger +
-      * charged with... attempted murder +
-        * the charge didn't stick; the thing she was attempting to murder wasn't a human being +
-      * charged and found guilty of: failure to provide the necessities of life +
-        * not because she shot her child in the head, but because she didn't tell the doctors +
-    * R. v. Levkovic: FIXME +
-      * Canadian law is more concerned about dead babies than living pre-born babies+
