Advocates across Canada are calling for the federal government to ensure women in every province have the same access to medical abortions.

Mifegymiso, commonly known as the abortion pill, is covered (or soon will be) in New Brunswick, Alberta, Ontario, Quebec and Nova Scotia.

Meanwhile, British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, PEI and Newfoundland offer partial coverage— or no coverage at all.

Darrah Teitel, with the group Action Canada for Sexual Health and Rights, says this unacceptable and something the government needs to address.

We asked every single premier across the country to commit to cost coverage,” she said.

She said women in Canada currently are only provided access to the pill based on where they live, which violates the Canada Health Act.

You’re creating two-tiered health care access in Canada,” she said. “It’s a situation where someone in one province is entitled to a service that others aren’t.”

Action Canada for Sexual Health and Rights, was joined by several other health groups last week when Health Ministers from across the country met in Edmonton last week.

Teitel said they will continue to push provincial ministers, but with that disparity in place, the federal government needs to step in and address this.

The federal government has a role to play, they’re responsible for enforcing the Canada Health Act,” she said. “It is part of their jurisdiction and in fact it’s their duty to do so.”
