Pro-lifers in #Alberta are really mad that Canadian physicians get informed consent from medical patients based on their capacity to understand the procedure and risks being done to their own body (for ALL procedures, not just abortion), rather than from the patient's "owner". Guardians are involved in the case of reduced capacity, regardless of age.

If the patient is a woman, this #Patriarchy wants her treated as somebody without full mental capacity and bodily autonomy.

Excerpt from the CPSA (College of Physicians & Surgeons of Alberta)'s Standards of Practice on Informed Consent reads:

The Standards of Practice of the College of Physicians & Surgeons of Alberta (“CPSA”) are the minimum standards of professional behavior and ethical conduct expected of all regulated members registered in Alberta.
Standards of Practice are enforceable under the Health Professions Act and will be referenced in the management of complaints and in discipline hearings. CPSA also provides Advice to the Profession to support the implementation of the Standards of Practice.
1. A regulated member must obtain a patient’s informed consenti prior to an examination, assessment, treatment or procedure; such consent may be implied, expressed orally or in writing as appropriate.
2. If a patient is under the age of 18 years, a regulated member must:
a. determine whether the patient is a mature minor with the capacity to give informed consent1; and
b. if the patient is not a mature minor, seek informed consent from the patient’s legal guardian, in accordance with legislation1.
3. If an adult patient lacks capacity to give informed consent, a regulated member must seek informed consent from the patient’s legal guardian or substitute decision maker, in accordance with legislation[1].
