Opinions of Canadians toward the use of public funds for abortions has not changed since last year. Half of Canadians (53%) still think abortion should be financed through taxes but only in case of medical emergencies such as, a threat to the mother's life or in the case of rape or incest.

Only 25% indicate that abortion should always be financed by health-funded tax system and even fewer (15%) think that abortion should be a private responsibility (including Blue Cross or other private health plans).
