Early in Canada's history, abortions were illegal, as of 1869. The Criminal Law Amendment Act, 1968-69, passed on May 14, 1969, was a partial easing of Canada's laws, provided for a legal abortion when three doctors decided a woman was in danger. A Supreme Court case (Morgentaler et al. v. Her Majesty The Queen, [1988] 1 S.C.R. 30 at 37), allowed for the unlimited access to abortions. In a Gallup Canada poll, 54% of Canadians thought abortion was "morally acceptable".
