Access Denied: Navigating Abortion Care in Canada


Listen Later

Welcome to the inaugural episode of missINFORMED’s mini-series, Let’s Talk Abortion!


Join co-hosts Roma Dhamanaskar and Kayla Benjamin as they delve into the complexities of abortion care in Canada. While abortion is legal nationwide, access remains a significant challenge for many. In this episode, we explore the intricacies of Canada's fragmented healthcare system, the impact of geographic barriers, and the unsettling reality of belief-based care denial. We’ll also uncover the deceptive nature of Crisis Pregnancy Centres, which often mislead those seeking healthcare. Tune in for an enlightening discussion that distinguishes Canada's landscape from the U.S., highlighting the urgent need for equitable and inclusive abortion care.
