@gendertoday210 Because Ontario is one of the 3 provinces that has insurance coverage for IVF treatments #rterms

[GSWS 210 @210Gsws]

[GSWS 210 @210Gsws]

i totally agree! there were so many things going on in the world regarding abortion, I honestly felt like I knew nothing before taking this class #rterms

It helps us to be more concern about society and social issues, and discover more details from those real stories of different people, their experiences are just as informative as those academy articles. #Rterms

[GSWS 210 @210Gsws]

taking a gender studies is very important for everyone to take especially since there are people out there who aren't aware of how uneducated they are regarding some really important issues in our world #rterms

[GSWS 210 @210Gsws]

it is shocking to read how many people cannot have access to infertility/abortion clinics due to financial strains #rterms

[GSWS 210 @210Gsws]

there are alot of work that needs to be done in our world to help individuals who struggle with access to abortion #rterms

[GSWS 210 @210Gsws]

completely agree #rterms

[gendertoday210 @gendertoday210]

punishable by amputation how can that be okay it's like we're going back in time

[GSWS 210 @210Gsws]

there are multiple issues regarding reproductive rights that go unbeknownst #rterms

[GSWS 210 @210Gsws]

throughout the entire province of Quebec majority of accessible infertility clinics are in Montreal
#rterms

[GSWS 210 @210Gsws]

this is just horrifying to even read - things need to be done to make sure this does not start happening again #rterms

[GSWS 210 @210Gsws]

In Canada, Infertility is only covered in New Brunswick, Ontario, and Quebec #rterms

[GSWS 210 @210Gsws]

@Indy1015 i completely agree, there needs to be more attention towards individuals that are needing help with abortion #rterms

[GSWS 210 @210Gsws]

since each individual province/Territory in Canada can regulate the laws around infertility, not all provinces cover IVF treatments #rterms

[GSWS 210 @210Gsws]

In the US In Vitro Fertilization treatments are not covered because they consider it an "investigational new drug" #rterms

[GSWS 210 @210Gsws]

50% of US citizens stated that IVF treatments should not be covered for illegal immigrants because their child could possibly receive full citizenship #Rterms

[GSWS 210 @210Gsws]

in the US there are 395 infertility clinics across the country #rterms

[GSWS 210 @210Gsws]

Canada offers 82 infertility clinics across the country #rterms

[GSWS 210 @210Gsws]

In Vitro Fertilization can cost up to $25,000 a cycle - which is way above for an average working person to afford #Rterms

[GSWS 210 @210Gsws]

you control your OWN body, not anyone else #rterms

[GSWS 210 @210Gsws]

i believe infertility treatments should be equal to everyone in both Canada and the US - income level should not determine whether or not individuals should have coverage for IVFs #rterms
