Abortion and sex work are two issues that you may not immediately think have a lot in common. In reality, they share many parallels because, at their core, they are both issues of bodily autonomy and both call into play deeply rooted cultural beliefs about female sexuality. In this episode, we draw on those parallels to discuss how criminalizing and restricting abortion and sex work only makes them more dangerous and harmful. Join us in conversation with the Canadian Alliance for Sex Work Law Reform, the Canadian Public Health Association, and social scientist Cecelia Benoit to examine these issues and their impact on public health and human rights.See the play that inspired the podcast. <a href="https://www.factorytheatre.ca/shows/hypothetical-baby/">Get your tickets to “Hypothetical Baby”</a> on stage in Toronto from Feb 22 to Mar 8, hailed for its “sharp and witty writing and nuanced exploration of wider social issues” (She Does the City) from “one of the country’s most original actors.” (The Globe and Mail).
