Abortion access in Canada has improved in the past 37 years. However, as healthcare delivery is primarily a provincial/territorial responsibility, there are divergences in the administration and operation of abortion care, including coverage in rural areas, access to telemedicine for medication abortion and the laws and policies governing medical consent for minors. In addition, the access and experience of care are often conditioned by raced, classed and gendered inequalities. When considering abortion care in Canada, it is vital to consider the complexities of federalism, the realities of rural and semi-rural life and intersecting forms of marginalization impacting service users, especially adolescents.
