"🚨 NEW EPISODE DROP! 🇨🇦 Abortion Access: Did Mifepristone Solve the Problem?

When the medication abortion pill Mifepristone was introduced in Canada, it was supposed to be a total game-changer for access. But years later, is equitable care a reality? 🤔

We’re diving deep into the data and decisions shaping reproductive health today with three powerhouse experts on In Our VoICES: Dr. Liz Darling (ICES/McMaster), Dr. Laura Schummers (UBC), and TK Pritchard (Exec. Director, abortioncarecanada)

What You Need to Know:
1️⃣ The ICES research that confirms Canada’s unique, provider-friendly model is safe and effective.
2️⃣ Why rates didn’t “spike” and how global misinformation may be influencing contraception use.
3️⃣ The persistent barriers that make the system “flimsy”—from pharmacy refusals in small towns to coverage issues for newcomers.
4️⃣ The future solution: Why expanding prescribing to midwives and other healthcare providers is the key to closing access gaps.

This is a MUST-LISTEN for advocates, providers, and everyone invested in health equity.

Last Speaker Series for 2025!

We have the pleasure of hosting Raymonde Gagnon and Céline Lemay for their talk Revisiting Professional Identity Markers Through Participatory Research on Wednesday November 26th at 12:30 pm EST.

More information and zoom link here: https://mmrc.mcmaster.ca/events/mmrc-speaker-series-revisiting-professional-identity-markers-through-participatory-research/

In this presentation, we will describe the participatory research approach we used to respond to the needs expressed by the midwifery community to revisit their professional identity markers, which led to a collective reflection. We also incorporated the perspectives of parents who received midwifery care. The research findings will be presented, along with the avenues for reflection that emerged. This research resulted in an article published in the European Journal of Midwifery in June 2025, and another article focusing on different aspects has been submitted to the Canadian Journal of Midwifery Research and Practice (CJMRP).
