Canada’s day of action for choice a success!
Canadians united with a resounding voice on choice on april 25, 2004. The pro-choice canada coalition of women’s groups, human rights organizations, health educators and professionals, counsellors and concerned citizens gathered in eight canadian communities to put the spotlight on sexual and reproductive health rights. These events coincided with the march for women’s lives in washington, d.C. Where over half a million people marched in protest of george w. Bush’s anti-abortion views and legislation.
It’s important we continue to action as the voice on choice in canada…
inform yourself and inform others of the abortion rights and access situation in your own community.
Defend the basic and fundamental human right of individuals to control their reproductive health.
Encourage government to enforce compliance with the canada health act to ensure services exist in all provinces and territories and ensure all provincial governments remove abortion from their ‘excluded’ list for reciprocal billing. The act guarantees comprehensive, universal, accessible and portable health care for all canadians.
Support organizations such as medical students for choice, to ensure the availability of trained abortion providers in the future.
