SUMMARY:Launch of “Improving Access to Abortion Services in Canada: A What We Heard Report"
DESCRIPTION:Celebrating the Launch of “Improving Access to Abortion Services in Canada: A What We Heard Report” \nThe Asper Centre’s Reproductive Rights Working Group produced a report to be used as an advocacy tool to improve access to abortion services in Canada. The report covers the critical findings and recommendations of an Expert Panel convened in 2023 and includes an overview of the current landscape of reproductive rights in Canada. \nOn Thursday March 14\, 2024 @12:30-1:30pm EST (this is a hybrid event\, also available by Zoom) in room P115\, Jackman Law Building\, Faculty of Law\, University of Toronto\, 78 Queens Park Cres\, we celebrated the lunch of the report with an introduction from 2 of the report authors\, U of T Law JD students Ian T. D. Thomson and Lauren Di Felice and comments by: \n\nProf Rebecca Cook (Professor Emerita\, U of T Law and Co-Director\, International Reproductive and Sexual Health Law Program at the University of Toronto)\nProf Brenda Cossman (U of T Law)\nKat Owens (Project Director\, LEAF)\nProf Charmaine Williams (Dean & Professor\, Factor-Inwentash Faculty of Social Work\, University of Toronto)\n\n \nAbout the Asper Centre & Background to the report \nThe David Asper Centre for Constitutional Rights is devoted to realizing constitutional rights through advocacy\, research\, and education. The Asper Centre aims to play a vital role in articulating Canada’s constitutional vision to the broader world. The Asper Centre regularly convenes student working groups that prepare policy briefs\, draft public legal information materials\, organize workshops and conduct research on current or emerging constitutional law issues. The Asper Centre’s Reproductive Rights Working Group was convened in September 2022. \nThe Reproductive Rights Working Group originated as a reaction to the Dobbs v Jackson Women’s Health Organization decision in which the United States Supreme Court overturned the holding of Roe v Wade that previously maintained abortion access as a constitutional right. The Working Group sought to investigate and respond to the growing concern of how Dobbs may implicate reproductive rights in Canada and whether the Canadian regime is similarly vulnerable. Accordingly\, the Working Group organized an expert panel of leading minds in the field\, the purpose of which was to investigate these pressing issues and to yield recommendations for policy makers. \nVIEW THE WEBCAST OF THE EVENT HERE
