Reflections on the 50th Anniversary of the Abortion Caravan

This photo of Jackie Larkin with the sign "This Uterus is not Government Property" was taken during the Abortion Caravan which travelled across Canada from Vancouver to Ottawa in 1970.

Over the last few weeks, there have been virtual events for the 50th anniversary of the Abortion Caravan, including celebrations of the publication of Karin Well’s extraordinary new book that details its history.
