Prosecuting doctors who perform abortions is how Canada got its abortion laws struck down by the Supreme Court and were left with no restrictions whatsoever because politicians were too cowardly to go back in and write legislation that was more permissive to coincide with the Court's ruling.

Actually, the court stuck down the law because it failed to define when life started. Failures of Conservatives refused to redraft the law with a definition for start of life. They could have easily gone with "Fetal heartbeat" or "Conception" or anything else. But they just left it up in the air, and now Canada has abortion up to the point where the baby is half out of the vagina.
