Why does Premier Wab Kinew think the right to choose is an acceptable debate topic? Abortion is not a hot button issue. It's a human right. Embracing anti-choice ideology in our institutions harms women & people who can get pregnant. Debating bodily autonomy is political violence. @ndp.ca

The frequent use of graphic imagery by anti-choice extremists has sparked controversy at the University of Toronto. One student called the graphic images “an aggressive and invasive tactic” that “doesn’t promote healthy dialogue," and that generates discomfort and division instead.
