The courts now acknowledge evidence of the “battered woman syndrome” in order to prove increasing effects of abuse.

As a result, the act of murder can’t be feminist because feminism aspires to end patriarchal
They work to remind people about the legally-sanctioned killing of unborn children, which is often justified as being the consequence of a woman's right to choose, therefore is considered wrong and unethical. “…In Canada, exterminating the unborn is considered to be a human right supported by all levels of government and political parties. A woman's right to choose, is simply a euphemism for the killing of unborn babies. It's a clever choice of words to hide the reality of abortion…” (Wagner, 2007) The main national organization against abortion was the Alliance for Life headed by Dr. Heather Morris.
