In this episode we have very special guest Dr. Ruth Habte joining us. She is an OB/GYN Resident out of University of British Columbia and Campaign Organizer for AccessBC. In this discussion Dr. Ruth defines reproductive justice and how prevalent it is in Canada's health care system. She highlights both sides of the conversation as the Right to Parent and the Right to Not Parent. It's shocking how many people are not allowed to make this choice for themselves. There are also several barriers to access for contraception and abortion.
Later in the episode Dr. Ruth takes us through different abortion procedures and the time frame an individual would need each one. She also gives us the facts on fetal development from 6 to 24 weeks. SPOILER: The fetus is not a fully formed human and would not be viable outside the womb (in case you thought otherwise...) Enjoy!
Although we are focusing on Canada's organizations we hope this episode will inspire you to research how you can support reproductive and human rights in your country.
