Jurisprudence Essay

Over time, he law has become more progressive surrounding abortion, and is a prime

example of how laws must evolve with society.

Abortion was originally against the law due to the constitution being written from a

judeo-christain perspective where it was deemed immoral, however, since laws are always

changing and evolving to fit society, the general outlook began to change as social progression

occurred. Bodily autonomy is very important in select religions ,and as the Women’s Rights

movement was working towards advocating for their rights, and changing society’s values, the

shift in perspective began. Today, all Canadians have the right to freedom of conscience and

religion under section 2a) of the charter, meaning the laws of our country must not contradict

that. Abortion laws have been abolished in Canada since 1988.



In many countries today where abortion remains illegal today, cultural differences and

religious beliefs go hand in hand to influence the negative stance on abortion. It is oftentimes

viewed with negative connotation due to belief that it is immoral to ‘take away life’ based on

religion and culture. It is also very common that many countries that withhold strict abortion laws

are oppressive to women in other ways such as denying them full ownership of their lives,

bodies, or decisions. This is because in both these instances, these rules are rooted in

sovereignty. Laws that are against abortion are created by dominantly male courts or male

figures in power, and are only oppressive to women.
