Peggy Cooke debates Barbara Kay on sex-selective abortion
Status Quo? The Unfinished Business of Feminism in Canada -- Abortion Rights
Feminism has shaped the society we live in. But just how far has it brought us, and how relevant is it today? This feature documentary zeroes in on key concerns such as violence against women, access to abortion, and universal childcare, asking how much progress we have truly made on these issues. Rich with archival material and startling contemporary stories, Status Quo? uncovers answers that are provocative and at times shocking.
