An Ontario MPP is actively fighting abortion access in Canada. He is sadly not alone in this.

Women are not safe in a world without reproductive justice.

Make a donation to @AbortionRights; the only national organization in Canada dedicated to abortion access.

But do not drown in despair. Channel your heartbreak into action.
