Winnipeg Child and Family Services v. G. [1997]

01 January 1997
Theme:
The EFC intervened in the Supreme Court of Canada case Winnipeg Child & Family Services v. G. In this case, the Supreme Court was determining whether the courts can confine pregnant women to treatment programs in order to protect unborn children. The EFC and the Christian Medical Dental Society argued that women owe a duty of care to their unborn children and challenged the legal fiction that a child needs to be "born alive" before it has legal rights.
