e-1271 (Health care services)
Original language of petition: English
Petition to the Government of Canada
- After a historically lengthy review process, Health Canada finally approved the abortion pill, Mifegymiso, yet too many people in Canada still can’t access it;
- Canada has struggled to make abortion services accessible;
- Each dose can cost as much as $450 — an exorbitant price that makes it out of reach for all but the most privileged among us;
- Beyond costs, many of Health Canada’s exceptional conditions of use for this drug are problematic and unnecessary; and
- Making medical abortion more easily available is an important way to expand choice and ensure the right to health and safety.
