Retired University of Calgary history professor Betsy Jameson worries about history repeating itself for abortion rights, at her home in Calgary on Wednesday, Nov 30, 2022.
“I thought it was an interesting piece of personal antiquity, until last night,” Jameson, 75, wrote on Facebook in May. “I’m a mother and a grandmother,” she told the crowd. “I love my grandsons and my son more than anything. I’m grateful. I chose to have my child. Most women have not had that choice.”
Abortion is decriminalized in Canada because of a 1988 Supreme Court decision, but no bill has ever been passed to enshrine access into law. The right to an abortion is also not considered a constitutionally protected right under Canada’s Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Jameson said it is discouraging to fight the same political battles that she fought when she was living in the U.S.
