About this listen

In the third episode of the series, Professor Rachael Johnstone (Dalhousie University, Department of Political Science) talks about the politics of abortion in the years since the 1988 Morgentaler judgment. In particular, Professor Johnstone focuses on the Mulroney government’s failed attempts to pass a new abortion law, and on the regulations that provincial governments have used to limit abortion access despite its decriminalization.
