My favorite aspect of the law is that it remains perfectly legal to use abortifactients "up to the point a woman learns she's pregnant." Then it becomes illegal. Soooooooo...there's that.
Hard to overstate the way that RU-486 has changed the imperative to block abortion at 6 weeks. Surgical abortions are plummeting and early abortions are rising (overall, abortion rates have been dropping for decades). In many countries, overall abortion rates are very low, and 95% of abortions are medical. This largely satisfies the vast majority of the populace that is pro-choice, but opposes late-term abortion. Here are some articles about the situation in Canada:
