In 1869 Canada passed a law which banned abortion with a penalty of life in prison. Physicians, not citizens led the battle against abortion...

Your writing has a very nice flow, however, your essay still relies too much on opinion, especially the last paragraph. But don't worry, you have potential for future years. I too was a product of the Ontario school system, and your 78% is well deserved. P.S. You might want to make the introduction a little longer.
