'''{{FULLPAGENAME}}''' (d. {{LifeData||2016}}) was a Canadian medical journalist. PubMed Central indexes 82 published articles from 1973 through 2014.
She wrote a factually accurate, but controversial article in 1995 about the decline in the practice of non-therapeutic infant [[circumcision]] in [[Canada]].
The ''Canadian Medical Association Journal'' published letters in response to the article by LeBourdais on 1 October 1995. There was a letter by Robin Chorn, who alleged [[antisemitism]], and another letter by Dr. Brian W. Gregory, who defended the practice of non-therapeutic neonatal circumcision on medical grounds. This was followed by a response by LeBourdais and a letter of support by Dr. [[George C. Denniston]].<ref>{{REFjournal
