SUMMARY:Abortion to Abolition Book Launch and Art Opening
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the in-person book launch and art opening for Abortion to Abolition by Martha Paynter\, illustrated by Julia Hutt. \n  \nAbout the book – https://fernwoodpublishing.ca/book/abortion-to-abolition \nThe history of abortion decriminalization and critical advocacy efforts to improve access in Canada deserve to be better known. Ordinary people persevered to make Canada the most progressive country in the world with respect to abortion care. But while abortion access is poorly understood\, so too are the persistent threats to reproductive justice in this country: sexual violence\, gun violence\, homophobia and transphobia\, criminalization of sex work\, reproductive oppression of Indigenous women and girls\, privatization of fertility health services\, and the racism and colonialism of policing and the prison system. This beautifully illustrated book tells the empowering true stories behind the struggles for reproductive justice in Canada\, celebrating past wins and revealing how prison abolitionism is key to the path forward. \n  \nAbout the author \nMartha Paynter is a registered nurse providing abortion and postpartum care in Halifax\, Nova Scotia. The founder and chair of Wellness Within: An Organization for Health and Justice\, and a doctoral candidate at the Dalhousie University School of Nursing\, Martha has 20 years of experience working to advance gender health equity. Her practice\, teaching and research focus on the intersection of reproductive health and the justice system. A frequent contributor to Briarpatch\, CBC\, the Coast\, the Conversation\, the Halifax Examiner\, and Saltwire\, Martha writes about publicly-funded health care\, prison abolition\, and gender equity. \n  \nAbout the artist \nJulia Hutt is a self-taught multi-disciplinary artist residing in Kjipuktuk. Inspired by her own experience with pregnancy\, birthing and baby-raising\, Julia works with both traditional and digital illustration to create anecdotal scenes that portray snapshots of early parenthood. Her work challenges the capitalist devaluation of child rearing and traditionally gendered work. She produces work with Wellness Within and Martha Paynter to raise awareness about reproductive justice in the Canadian prison system.
