In June 2022, the US Supreme Court made global headlines when it overturned Roe v Wade, a nearly 50-year-old precedent that guaranteed a qualified constitutional right to abortion in the US. In the blink of an eye, the Court’s intervention ended this protection, and flipped the question of abortion regulation back to the 50 states, resulting in extreme disparities in the accessibility and legality of abortion across the country. While none of this altered the legal landscape in Canada, it did lead Canadians to wonder about the legal status and long-term security of their reproductive rights. Could the same thing happen here? This 4-part podcast series attempts to answer this question through a series of interviews with legal and constitutional experts on the history (and potential future) of abortion access in Canada.
