Never messed with those issues?
Ever heard of "The Unborn Victims of Crime Act" which Harper voted for but of course died on the order paper.
No never heard of it. Looked it up. Interesting.
It wasn't an abortion law, but I see your point, it could be considered "abortion creep", that's probably what the NDP argued, legit concern. 26 or so Liberals voted "yes" on it too:
The bill summary: "This enactment amends the Criminal Code by making it an offence to injure, cause the death of or attempt to cause the death of a child before or during its birth while committing or attempting to commit an offence against the mother."
So there's cases of domestic violence in Canada of men killing the fetus and can't be charged with killing it because it isn't legally human for existing laws to matter and no law covering fetuses.
