by LEAF Edmonton and the Centre for Constitutional Studies
LEAF Edmonton and the Centre for Constitutional Studies invite you an evening to remember the historic Supreme Court of Canada decision on reproductive rights (R. v. Morgentaler) and the establishing of the Morgentaler Clinic in Edmonton. It was following that Supreme Court of Canada decision that Edmonton could at last provide safe abortion services to women. The panel will discuss the struggles facing women prior to this time, the significance of the Supreme Court of Canada decision, the hurdles women faced in bringing the clinic to Edmonton, and the current climate for reproductive freedoms. Panelists will include: Patricia Paradis, Marie Gordon, Deb McElrath, Ellen Ticoll and Deb Miller. The evening will be moderated by LEAF Edmonton’s chair, Danielle Paradis.
