There are roughly 20,000 abortions each year in Quebec and 100,000 across Canada. That means 54 abortions per day in Quebec — about two every hour — and 274 per day in Canada.

Since the 1988 Morgentaler decision, abortion facilities are no longer required to record a reason. We therefore cannot know precisely why today’s Canadian women choose abortion. But earlier large-scale studies do give us important clues.

A major pro-abortion Guttmacher study (2004) found that less than 1% of abortions were due to rape, and less than 0.5% due to incest. The overwhelming reasons given were socio-economic: financial pressure, fear of life disruption, and relationship circumstances.

More recently, a 2023 study reported something even more striking: 60% of the women surveyed said they would have preferred to give birth if they had received more support or greater financial security.

If this finding holds — and if women in Quebec and Canada are broadly similar to their U.S. counterparts — then a large share of abortions could be avoided if women in crisis were reached in time, before entering the abortion facility.

Laws and courts matter. But this tells us something crucial:
a great deal depends on whether help is visible and accessible at the exact moment of crisis.

As I write to you, $8,820 has already been raised toward our $15,000 lightning fundraising campaign for our pregnancy care service Enceinte et inquiète (Pregnant and Worried).  With 5 days left, we still need $6,180 to ensure our pregnancy care service is fully visible to women in crisis at the critical moment. Give today if you can >>

First: the people are already there

Across Quebec and the rest of Canada, there already exists a network of conscience and compassion — ordinary people willing to help a pregnant woman in distress. Friends, relatives, colleagues, neighbors. People who would step forward if they knew someone needed help, and if they knew where to turn.

Enceinte et inquiète exists to make that possible: to connect goodwill with real situations, and to ensure that help is not theoretical, but concrete and timely.

The volunteers are there.
The goodwill is there.
The readiness to help is there.

What is often missing is the connection.

Now: why your donation is decisive

Here is the hard reality.

When a woman faces a crisis pregnancy today, she almost always turns online. She searches. She scrolls. She looks for answers — often late at night, often alone.

If Enceinte et inquiète is not visible at that exact moment, then for her, we simply do not exist.

That is why, in this lightning campaign, your donation is not about creating goodwill — it is about making help visible when it matters most.

Your gift today allows us to:

• place Enceinte et inquiète where women in crisis are already looking (online and on social media),
• ensure rapid, compassionate response when they reach out,
• train and equip volunteers so they can help wisely and confidently,
• and coordinate this network so that a real alternative is offered before the fatal step is taken.

In short: the people are ready — your donation makes it possible for women to find them in time.

Please act now

With $8,820 raised and $6,180 still needed, we are close — but not there yet.

That is why I ask you today to make an urgent and generous donation of $25, $50, $100, $250, $500, or even $1,000 or more, so that Enceinte et inquiète can reach women before the well-oiled conveyor belt of abortion carries them away.

Together, we can ensure that when a woman searches for help, she finds not silence — but a helping hand and a comforting shoulder.

P.S. We already have the people — the volunteers, the goodwill, the readiness to help. What we need now is the ability to be visible at the exact moment a woman is searching for help. Please make your most generous gift today so Enceinte et inquiète can reach her before it’s too late.
