Scope and content

This is an interview with Dr. Nikki Colodny, a pro-choice activist, abortion provider, and women's health advocate operating in Toronto, Ontario throughout the 1980s and 1990s. In addition to working in the medical field at a time when most doctors were male, Nikki became somewhat of a public figure in Canada, when she worked alongside Dr. Henry Morgentaler providing patients with abortions prior to 1988, when anti-choice legislation was struck from the Criminal Code. During this period, abortion clinics were frequently raided by the police, while abortion providers were harassed and sometimes even physically attacked by anti-choice activists. As a member of the Ontario Coalition for Abortion Clinics, Dr. Colodny travelled across the country to mentor pro-choice activists in civil disobedience and appeared in the media to combat medical misinformation. In this interview, Dr. Colodny discusses her experience in medical school and becoming an abortion provider. The interviewer is Meghan Tibbits-Lamirande.

Il s'agit d'un entretien avec le Dr Nikki Colodny, militante pro-choix, pratiquant l'avortement et défendant la santé des femmes à Toronto (Ontario) dans les années 1980 et 1990. En plus de travailler dans le domaine médical à une époque où la plupart des médecins étaient des hommes, Nikki est devenue une sorte de personnage public au Canada, lorsqu'elle a travaillé aux côtés du Dr Henry Morgentaler pour pratiquer des avortements avant 1988, date à laquelle la législation anti-choix a été supprimée du code pénal. Au cours de cette période, les cliniques d'avortement ont souvent fait l'objet de descentes de police, tandis que les professionnels de l'avortement étaient harcelés et parfois même physiquement attaqués par des militants anti-choix. En tant que membre de la Coalition ontarienne pour les cliniques d'avortement, le Dr Colodny a voyagé à travers le pays pour encadrer les militants pro-choix en matière de désobéissance civile et est apparu dans les médias pour lutter contre la désinformation médicale. Dans cet entretien, le Dr Colodny parle de son expérience à l'école de médecine et de sa pratique de l'avortement. L'interviewer est Meghan Tibbits-Lamirande.
