Morgentaler\u003c\/em\u003e (1988) struck down Canada's abortion law and is widely believed to have established a right to abortion, but its actual impact is much less decisive; and women's access to abortion in Canada remains uneven and at risk of being curtailed. In \u003cem\u003eAfter Morgentaler, \u003c\/em\u003eRachael Johnstone examines the state of abortion access in Canada today, maps its historical development since 1988, and argues that substantive access is essential to full citizenship for women. Demonstrating how access varies at the provincial level, Johnstone presents three case studies – Quebec, Ontario, and New Brunswick – to assess the role of both state and non-state actors in the creation and maintenance of, as well as restrictions on, access. This book affirms the need to recognize abortion as an issue fundamentally tied to women's equality while stressing the continued utility of rights claims as a means to improve access.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1 The Anti-abortion, Pro-choice, and Reproductive Justice Movements\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2 Federal Politics and the Supreme Court\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e3 Abortion in the Provinces\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e4 Abortion as Health Care\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e5 Social Movement Activism in the Provinces\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e6 Never Going Back\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAppendices; Notes; References; Index \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"UBC Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52531070042392,"sku":"9780774834391","price":22.96,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/after-morgentaler-the-politics-of-abortion-in-canada-paperback-softback-9780774834391","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
