Therapeutic Abortion Committees (commonly known as TACs) were committees established under the Canadian Criminal Code. Each committee consisted of three medical doctors who would decide whether a request for an abortion fit within the exception to the criminal offence of procuring a miscarriage, i.e. performing an abortion. The Criminal Code only permitted lawful abortion if continuation of a pregnancy would cause a woman medical harm, as certified by a TAC. The TACs were almost always composed of men, due to fewer women practicing medicine and even fewer having these types of high level positions. These restrictions on abortion were struck down as unconstitutional by the Supreme Court of Canada in its decision in R v Morgentaler in 1988.

  • Le Comité sur les avortements thérapeutiques (communément appelé TAC) se réfère à un comité canadien composé de trois médecins qui décidait si un avortement correspondait une exemption recevable au Code criminel du Canada, qui ne permettait l'avortement légal que si la poursuite de la grossesse entraînait des conséquences médicales pour la femme. Le TAC a été presque toujours été composé d'hommes, en raison du faible nombre de femmes pratiquant la médecine, et du nombre encore plus faible occupant ces types de postes de haut niveau. Ce code a finalement été annulé et invalidé par le système judiciaire canadien dans l'affaire R. contre Morgentaler de 1988. (fr)

  • Le Comité sur les avortements thérapeutiques (communément appelé TAC) se réfère à un comité canadien composé de trois médecins qui décidait si un avortement correspondait une exemption recevable au Code criminel du Canada, qui ne permettait l'avortement légal que si la poursuite de la grossesse entraînait des conséquences médicales pour la femme. Le TAC a été presque toujours été composé d'hommes, en raison du faible nombre de femmes pratiquant la médecine, et du nombre encore plus faible occupant ces types de postes de haut niveau. Ce code a finalement été annulé et invalidé par le système judiciaire canadien dans l'affaire R. contre Morgentaler de 1988. Préalablement à cet arrêt, de nombreuses femmes canadiennes trouvaient beaucoup plus facile de voyager à l'étranger pour recevoir un traitement médical pour une grossesse non désirée. Certaines femmes recouraient à des avortements illégaux, souvent effectués par des praticiens non qualifiés, ou même tentaient de procéder elles-mêmes à l'avortement. Ce qui a eu des conséquences dangereuses, voire mortelles. (fr)
