I spoke to @KellySkjerven at @torontostar about @Contracepti_ON and advocating for no-cost contraceptives in Ontario! Read all about it - Birth control will soon be free in B.C. Will Ontario follow? https://t.co/4Q7tA050FJ via @torontostar

Advocates say not only do governments save money on health-care costs when they provide birth control for free, but the policy improves the quality of life for those who need it.

I’m proud to share @OntarioNDP ’s initiative to expand OHIP by removing financial barriers to prescription contraception. @JennieStevens_ tabled this motion on International Women’s Day, and on November 29, we’ll debate it at Queens Park.

HUGE NEWS!!! Contraception for all will be up for debate at Queen's Park next week. Share your testimonials about how contraception has affected you to make reproductive justice a reality in Ontario. https://t.co/Z1jRomvG9n

Why would a change in expanding OHIP to include universal, no cost contraception matter to you, your family or the community you serve?
Contraception access is about gender equity, full-stop. When the community comes together we can make meaningful change. That’s why I introduced legislation in March to provide barrier-free access to contraception. BC has done it. Manitoba committed to it. Ontario can, too. 🧵
