Abortion to abolition : reproductive health and justice in Canada  Cover Image Book Book

Abortion to abolition : reproductive health and justice in Canada / Martha Paynter ; illustrated by Julia Hutt.

Paynter, Martha, (author.). Hutt, Julia, (illustrator.).

Summary:

"Abortion and contraception are often understood as the central aspect of reproductive justice. But there is much more involved, from bodily autonomy, to freedom from sexual violence, to freedom to define the size and make up of our families, and to the right to parent the children we choose to have in safe and sustainable communities. While Canada has constitutionally affirmed aspects of reproductive liberation, it also has a colonial history of reproductive oppression and practices ongoing carceral policies that criminalize disproportionately Indigenous and racialized people, threatening their access to reproductive justice. This illustrated, accessible book will tell the empowering stories behind the struggles for reproductive justice in Canada, celebrating past wins and revealing an abolitionist path forward"-- Provided by publisher.
