One could shatter ceilings, make history, be elected mayor of one of the largest cities in the country, and still not escape such misogyny.
His actions demonstrate a pattern of entitlement and a lack of remorse for what he did to HH.

Grief is so visceral.
It was a cloudy day when he left this on my windshield.
He knew I liked to work late because I enjoyed the peace and quiet, and he didn’t want to interrupt me.
I am imagining his muted giggle as he wrote it.
It was a big day for the both of us.

Abortion is healthcare, but it's one piece.
It took multiple providers, the havoc that every hormonal birth control wreaked on my body, and a literal decade to have freedom over my own reproductive future.
Erosion of our rights didn't start and will not end with abortion. /3

Enshrining rights might help. Ensuring access irrefutably does.
Abortion clinics are health centres, and they offer so much more than one procedure to the communities they operate in.

I’ve been under the Alberta health system for most of my life. My health teams have been, for the most part, incredible support. Reproductive healthcare is a comprehensive system, and lack of access has been a systemic failure for decades.
