Borowski v. Attorney General of Canada, 30 April 1987.

The Court upheld the decision of a lower court that provisions of the Criminal Code providing that abortions may be authorized by therapeutic abortion committees do not violate sections of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. It ruled that a fetus is not included within the terms "everyone" or "every individual" and thus not entitled to the rights conferred on born persons. It based its ruling on the status of the fetus historically under common law and its status under present-day law in the United States and the European Economic Community. It also pointed to legislative history indicating that the Charter was intended to be neutral with respect to abortion and the rights of the fetus.
