Abstract

This article will examine the implications of taking an autonomy approach to reproductive health policy and practice, and the value of shifting to an equality approach.  In legal terms, the acknowledgement that reproductive control is often a s. 15 equality matter, not simply a s. 7 concern, could lead to drastically different health care services.  The author will begin by explaining R. v. Morgentaler (1988), the case which set the precedent that reproductive health is a s. 7 concern—that is, an autonomy matter.  The author will identify some current conditions in the context of reproductive health in order to illustrate the shortcomings to s. 7.  Specifically, she will demonstrate the importance that government take positive action rather than uphold a position of non-interference.  The subsequent section will make a case for redressing present conditions via the invocation of s. 15 equality rights.  The author will conclude with an evaluation of s. 15, considering the objection that not even this section can guarantee positive action.

加拿大的生育不平等
本文将探讨对生殖健康政策和实践采取自主做法的影响,以及转向平等做法的价值。在法律方面,承认生殖控制往往是第15条平等问题,而不仅仅是第7条关切问题,可能导致截然不同的保健服务。提交人将首先解释R. v. Morgentaler(1988年)一案,该案开创了先例,认为生殖健康是一个问题,即自主问题。提交人将指出生殖健康方面的一些现状,以说明第7条的不足之处。具体来说,她将展示政府采取积极行动而不是坚持不干涉立场的重要性。下一节将通过援引第15条平等权利来纠正目前的状况。考虑到即使这一节也不能保证采取积极行动的反对意见,作者将以对第15条的评价结束。
