The Criminal Code is amended by adding the following after section 264.1:
Coercion in relation to an abortion
264.2 (1) Every one who coerces a female person to procure or attempt to procure an abortion for herself is guilty of
(a) an indictable offence and liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding five years; or
(b) an offence punishable on summary conviction and liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding eighteen months.
Attempted coercion
(2) Every one who attempts to coerce a female person to procure an abortion for herself is guilty of
(a) an indictable offence and liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding two years; or
(b) an offence punishable on summary conviction and liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding six months.
