Yes, I am. Wiki says Canada has no restrictions on abortion whatever, and this is the result of some sort of legal vacuum on the issue after old laws got struck down. In other words, a situation not too terribly different from our own, so your objection appears moot. As I was saying: there is no totally neutral position on the issue. Either your government allows abortion to some extent--in which case it is at least partially privileging one POV--or it bans it almost entirely, favoring the other. Leaving it up to the individual is not being impartial, but a clear victory for the pro-choice. It's a tribute to your troll-fu that I'm even typing something this obvious.

Let's be clear.

There are three positions:

Pro-Abortion: YOU SHOULD ABORT YOUR BABIES!
Pro-Choice: A woman may choose
Pro-Life: YOU WILL LOVE YOUR RAPEBABY OR THE STATE WILL RAISE IT. NEVER ANY ABORTIONS!

There are times in my life, mostly when speaking with the American Religious Right, that I'm firmly in the first category.

Leaving the choice up to the individual, and the lack of a law regulating, isn't a "Victory" for pro choice. It'd a victory for freedom and a defeat for people who believe the government has the right to regulate what you do with your body.
