The impact of Morgentaler upon the practical status quo is harder to describe because funding arrangements and the availability of abortion clinics vary considerably from province to province. However, time series data suggest that the decision did, in practice, help to make abortion more common. Statistics Canada calculates an index called "rate of known voluntary interruptions of pregnancy per 1,000 women aged 13 to 44." From a value of 7.3 in 1971, this index reached a pre-Morgentaler peak of 12.1 in 1982. In the three years prior to Morgentaler, it was 10.8, 10.7 and 10.7. It increased to 11.0 in 1988, to 11.6 in 1989 and to a new peak of 14.0 in 1990. In the same period, the reported number of abortions performed in the United States upon Canadian women fell from 2,757 in 1987 to 1,573 in 1990, so the increase in the rate of voluntary interruptions of pregnancy had to be due to abortions performed in Canada (Statistics Canada, Report on the Demographic Situation in Canada 1992: Current Demographic Analysis [Ottawa: Statistics Canada, 1992], 56).

Because all votes are free votes in the United States Congress, there has been a proliferation of research on structure-induced equilibrium in that body. See James D.

The few MPs who abstained on certain votes have been put into the category where they have the closest fit. Two Conservative MPs (Bob Pennock and Chuck Cook) voted somewhat inconsistently by supporting both pro-life and pro-choice amendments. However, both also voted for the government resolution in the end. Perhaps for them rationality meant trying to support any available compromise. Pennock is counted as a "Pro-Life Compromiser" in Figure 1 because he voted for the Mitges amendment; Cook is counted as a "Pro-Life-Leaning Moderate" because he voted for the James, but not for the Mitges, amendment.
