MP wants to make birth control free

Vice cited a study by researchers at UBC, the University of Toronto, McGill University, and Laval University for an article about a proposed motion in Canadian parliament regarding birth control.

The 2015 study found that “cost was the most important barrier to contraception” and one in three women will have an abortion in their lifetime in Canada.

If the motion is supported and turned into a bill, prescription birth control would be free to women and trans people.
