Having control over our bodies is crucial for having control over our lives. Because of this, abortion is not just a health issue. Whether women and people capable of becoming pregnant can make decisions about if, when, or with whom to have children and about what they do with their body, for health or any other reason, is an equity issue.
Today, Action Canada for Sexual Health & Rights and the Women’s Legal Education and Action Fund (LEAF) launched the Abortion Access Tracker, a website that illustrates the legal landscape of abortion in Canada and the reality of accessing abortion care across the country.
