Aborsh
Aborsh examines why abortion is still such a big deal, what “choice” really means and looks like and why that answer is different for different people. Join Toronto-based artist Rachel Cairns as she shares her own abortion story and speaks with experts and activists about the past, present, and future of reproductive health and justice in Canada and watch for Season 2 dropping in early 2025.
