Abortion is one of the issues that has long been discussed in human societies and has been considered as one of the fundamental issues of the criminal law system with criminal law scientists. In this article, a descriptive-analytical method to medical abortion in Iran, Canada, and Europe Reflection of abortion has also had an impact on the views of lawyers and criminologists. Because other laws regarding abortion, despite new issues such as medical issues and social and economic issues, etc. are not in accordance with the customs and general ethics of societies and this important issue has prompted lawyers to consider issues and problems in the regulation of laws. In Iran's legal system, whose laws and regulations are derived from Imami jurisprudence, contrary to the legal systems of Western societies that consider abortion a proud sign of character and freedom of women, abortion is forbidden and punishable under the Islamic Penal Code. In Canada, there is almost no legal prohibition on abortion. In this regard, the present study aimed to review the laws of abortion in different countries of the world, change the position and logical flexibility of Iran and Canada as well as international documents on this social phenomenon and by briefly pointing to some social principles, and also strengthen the necessity of legal abortion license in these two countries. Abortion has long been a crime in Both Iran and Canada, and according to the new regulations, it is still a crime in Iran, but in Canada, it is only a crime when the law specifies it. Second, the results indicated that the punishment for abortion in each stage of pregnancy is different in Iran and Canada.

Capital punishment or death penalty is a social enforcement guarantee which have existed in all societies and civilizations since past, and have taken many victims. Although today, this punishment has revoked in many countries completely and many international documents and treaties consider it as a violation of human rights, but still, there are some countries and governments that have maintained this punishment in their laws and against some political, social or religious crimes are applied. Despite many altercations and discussions that about the abolition or retention of the capital punishment has been started about two hundred years ago and each of the opponents or fans have expressed reasons and arguments about approval or rejection, yet, certainly we cannot believe that the capital punishment is an unhelpful and effective legal. But a useful practical solution is that to maintain the right of live of individuals and observe their inherent value, which has been highly regarded in recently years, at least in some crimes, opponents views should be preferred the disciple views and as much as possible, cases for applying it in laws should be reduced and its enforcement should be limited to some very serious and harmful crimes, especially with regard to that in contemporary world, the purpose of punishment is not punishing or penalizing, but also its purpose is correction and nurturance of offenders and restore him/her to normal life.
