Request: Australia/Canada Abortion gestational Map by states and territory

Article(s)

Abortion in Australia

Abortion in Canada

Request

I want one map of Australia by states and territory with each state territory abortion gestational rule. and one map for Canada.

(Australia)

Australian Capital Territory	Legal, free,and accessible (no gestational limit).	Must be provided by medical doctor. Health Minister may set 50 metre exclusion zones for protests.
New South Wales	Legal. Accessible up to 22 weeks.	Beyond 22 weeks legal with two doctors' approval.Safe access zones are set at 150 metres around abortion clinics.
Northern Territory	Legal. Accessible up to 24 weeks.	Beyond 24 weeks legal with two doctors' approval.Safe access zones of 150 metres provided around abortion clinics.
Queensland	Legal. Accessible up to 22 weeks.	Beyond 22 weeks legal with two doctors' approval. Safe access zones of 150 metres are provided around abortion clinics.
South Australia	Legal. Accessible up to 22 weeks and 6 days.	Beyond 22 weeks and 6 days legal with two doctors' approval.Safe access zones of 150 metres provided around abortion clinics.

Western Australia	Legal. Accessible up to 23 weeks.	Beyond 23 weeks legal with two doctors' approval. Safe access zones of 150 metres provided around abortion clinics.

(Canada)

There is no abortion law in Canada, but provincial and territorial health regulations
and professional bodies restrict the procedure to various grounds or gestational limits.
There are also significant disparities between rural and urban access to abortion.

Region	Gestational limits	# of providers	Notes
Alberta	20 weeks	5	The province has abortion services accessible in Edmonton and Calgary.All abortion services are offered.
British Columbia	23 weeks and 6 days	24	The province is governed by theAccess to Abortion Services Act,which limits political demonstrations outside abortion-providing facilities, doctor's offices, and doctor's homes to set distances. BC Women's Hospital & Health Centre can provide late-term abortions in Vancouver up until the 25th week of pregnancy (its CARE Program).There are six abortion clinics throughout the province that can be accessed without a doctor referral and upwards of 30 hospitals that are required to perform abortions with a doctor's referral.
Manitoba	19 weeks and 6 days	4	The province has limited access for those in rural communities. Aspiration or surgical procedures are available for up to 19 weeks and 6 days. Medical abortions up to 9 weeks.
New Brunswick	16 weeks	5	New Brunswick does not use public funding to pay for abortion services outside of hospital settings. This means that abortions provided in clinics are not funded by the government.
Newfoundland and Labrador	15 weeks	4	Planned Parenthood Newfoundland and Labrador is the only sexual health clinic in the province.Full spectrum doula services.
Northwest Territories	19 weeks and 6 days	1	Northern Options for Women (abbreviated as NOW) provides both medical and surgical abortion services in the Northwest Territories and Nunavut.
Nova Scotia	16 weeks	11	In Nova Scotia, there is an abortion clinic in Halifax or someone needing an abortion can call the abortion helpline for other options throughout the province that may be closer to them.
Nunavut	12 weeks	2	All abortions must be performed in a hospital.
Ontario	23 weeks and 6 days	38	Intimidation of and interference with patients or providers are illegal in "safe access zones" around abortion-providing clinics and other requesting health care facilities; the offices (on request) of providing doctors, nurses, pharmacists and some other providers; and providers' homes under theSafe Access to Abortion Services Act, 2017.There are nine regions in Ontario where abortion is available with full spectrum doula services.
Prince Edward Island	12 weeks and 6 days	1	Prince Edward Island offers in province abortions up until 12 weeks and 6 days pregnant. After that limit, an out of province surgical abortion would have to be performed. A referral must be obtained through a PEI physician prior to any surgical procedure.
Quebec	23 weeks and 6 days	49	The province has a multitude of options for abortion access.Historically, late-term abortions (beyond 30 weeks) had to be performed in the US with all expenses paid by the Quebec government. This changed in 2020 because of Covid travel restrictions.
Saskatchewan	18 weeks and 6 days	3	Few resources available to those in rural areas.
Yukon	12 weeks and 6 days	1	Whitehorse General Hospitalis the only location in Yukon available for both medical and early aspiration abortions.

Color-coded map illustrating availability ofabortion in Canada,in weeks of embryonic age (from fertilization). Abortion is legal at all stages in Canada, but availability is subject to medical guidelines.

Available first 12 weeks (PEI) Available first 13 weeks Available first 16 weeks Available first 19 weeks Available first 20 weeks Available first 24 weeks Available first 25 weeks

@Muaza Husni,for clarification:

Canada

There's already a template that shows the Canadian situation: Is it OK (23 weeks + 6 days = 24 weeks)? Does it need an update? If so, what adjustments does it need?

Australia

{{Abortion map of Australia}}does not yet exist. Here's a map.svg that is related, but it doesn't portrait the limits nor the same style as the other maps onAbortion law#Comparative limits for countries with elective abortions.

Map Australia, Abortion legality

As an improvement of the map, I suggest to put a circle around the capitol, so it's way more visible what policy it has.

1) Do you want such an Australian map in the "Canadian style"?

2) Does the left map display the current Australian abortion laws? Or does it need an update?

Groetjes, Peter(talk)08:15, 22 November 2024 (UTC)

@Groetjes, PeterHi again, The Canadian map looks like the kind of map i wanted with the 'gestational age' (fertilization age), in weeks. The Australian map sadly doesn't have the 'gestational age' (fertilization age), in weeks. I would like the Australian abortion map to be like the Canadian and United states map with 'gestational age' (fertilization age), in weeks. It makes it simpler and similar. Thanks.Muaza Husni(talk)01:39, 23 November 2024 (UTC)

Just FYI, US gestational age differs from fertilization age by 2 weeks, and from pregnancy by 3 weeks [cf. the mexico map].— kwami(talk)04:58, 23 November 2024 (UTC)

Let's not use confusing US standards / measurements in maps of other countries. The colours in the different maps are in sync, keeping in mind the differences kwami talked about.

Canadian:

What I need to know, with sources, is whether the map is up to date.

1. Has Nunavut changed its medical guidelines from up to 20 weeks, down to up to 12 weeks?
2. Has Manitoba changed its medical guidelines from 16 weeks, to up to 20 weeks (19w+6d)?

Australian:

1. I'll make the map, based on the data in the above table.
2. I know it's a slightly different map, but it would be nice if you could look into the laws behind it, to see if it's still up to date.

I'm just a mapmaker, not an expert on every topic. As a mapmaker, I think this old map displays the capitol policy very poorly. I'd like to improve it, but when I don't know whether things have changed, I'd better not.

Hi @Dan Leonard,I'm not familiar with ArcGIS data, but if you can copy the data tables, and select the Pennsylvanian nodes, you can convert them to a map like this one to the right. Click onedit sourceto see the code.

Type, coord, title, description, marker and marker-color all have the same unique number per row.

In this example, row3 defines a line around Pennsylvania (id3 = Wiki data id Q1400)

If a quick selection isn't possible, you can always trim the dataset down by coords (Pennsylvania is pretty square).

Test 1:Using templateMLS labeled mapand location map Mexico.
Results:

• MLS is not in needed map coords: lookup coords stadiums in format 49.276667|-123.111944|Vancouver Whitecaps FC
• MEX map example is not in stadium, zoom in to see difference, lookup coords stadiums too.
• The old maps don't use any logo of the clubs. I'd suggest adding them to the labels: click on pins to see them. Click enlarge map to zoom/pan/check all the details. Reload to refresh map. San Jose = big logo 200px, the rest in 50px version.

Any ideas about what should be included in the descriptions?

Test 2

Hi @𝚈𝚘𝚟𝚝,did you see the maps? Any thoughts?

A bot removed a lot of the logos from the map.

We'll need to test whether they can be displayed through a template, if that counts as displaying the images on an article, which is allowed. This page doesn't count as an article...Groetjes, Peter(talk)09:01, 23 November 2024 (UTC)
