Midwives as Abortion Providers: Moving Advocacy Forward

Recorded March 10, 2023. In partnership with Action Canada. A 90-min presentation for midwives and their allies to move advocacy forward for midwives as abortion providers. 

Access to safe and legal abortion is a human right and providing abortion care and post abortion care is part of the role of Canadian midwives.
