Did You Know: Contraceptives have many uses outside of preventing pregnancy that can greatly improve quality of life for people with a uterus

As the NS legislature finishes its first week of the fall sitting, universal access to free contraception is still on the table.

Nova Scotia Government still has the ability to make contraception free for Nova Scotians — removing the financial barrier from being able to exercise bodily autonomy.

Nova Scotia is strongest when we invest in everyone. Yet recent provincial budget decisions have raised deep concern across communities in our province. Programs supporting Indigenous organizations, Black/African Nova Scotian communities, arts & culture, disability groups, and all forms of community-based social programs that support those already experiencing poverty and social marginalization have had their budgets reduced or completely destabilized. Organizations across our province continue to face uncertainty, hard decisions, and real-world impacts.

AccessNow NS stands in solidarity with the organizations and communities affected. These programs are essential social infrastructure that keep people and communities safe, connected, and supported.

September 26th is World Contraception Day.

Access to contraception is a right, not a luxury. Too many people in Canada can’t afford the high costs of contraception medication and devices like birth control pills, IUDs, implants, and the morning-after pill, leading to countless unplanned pregnancies.

A national drug plan that covers all Canadians, also known as pharmacare, could change this.

The federal government recently introduced legislation that covers contraception and diabetes medications and devices for all Canadians – free of charge. But some premiers are choosing to keep this option out of reach. They have threatened not to join the federal program when it’s rolled out.

Join us in urging our leaders to stop playing politics with people's health and get pharmacare across the finish line! You can support the fight for universal contraceptive coverage in Nova Scotia by joining
