在加拿大，三分之一的妇女将在其生殖生命中经历堕胎（Dowler，Rushton，& Kornelsen，2020）。虽然加拿大目前是全球四个没有国家法律限制的国家之一，但一些研究对妇女在获得堕胎服务时面临的障碍表示担忧（阿克曼& Stettner，2019; Cano & Foster，2016; Myran & Bardsley，2018; Rumack，2020; Shaw & Norman，2020）。例如，2016年联合国人权专员的报告指出，由于成本，知识和地理原因，加拿大缺乏堕胎机会（Myran & Bardsley，2018; Shaw & Norman，2020）。这些障碍对于土著1妇女和双灵人2来说更加严重，因为几个世纪以来持续的殖民主义导致了社会决定因素和结果的严重差异（Allan & Smylie，2015; Monchalin，Smylie，& Nowgesic，2020 b;阅读& Wien，2009）。尽管有这些知识，但几乎没有关于加拿大土著妇女和双灵民族堕胎经历的文献。这令人担忧，因为由于2019年新型冠状病毒病，现有的堕胎障碍已经增加（COVID-19）大流行;堕胎诊所减少了工作时间或暂时关闭，COVID-19居家措施导致暴力事件激增，表明计划外怀孕和对堕胎服务的潜在更大需求（加拿大堕胎权利联盟，2020年a;科恩，2020年;吉尔摩，2020年a;鲁马克，2020年）。首先，它解释了对COVID-19的应对如何为加拿大土著妇女和双灵人在获得堕胎服务方面创造了独特的环境和障碍。其次，它探讨了如何终止和防止怀孕是（并继续是）在土著社区的常识，以及如何围绕堕胎的耻辱到达定居者和今天仍然存在。这篇评论最后指出，在大流行后的世界中，获得堕胎服务将受益于西方和土著知识的沟通，并将老年人带入课堂。
In Canada, one in three women will experience an abortion in their reproductive lifetime (Dowler, Rushton, & Kornelsen, 2020). Although Canada is currently one of four countries globally to have no national restriction in law, several studies have raised concerns about barriers women face when accessing abortion services (Ackerman & Stettner, 2019; Cano & Foster, 2016; Myran & Bardsley, 2018; Rumack, 2020; Shaw & Norman, 2020). For example, the 2016 United Nations Human Rights Commissioner’s report indicated a lack of access to abortion in Canada owing to cost, knowledge, and geography (Myran & Bardsley, 2018; Shaw & Norman, 2020). These barriers are heightened for Indigenous1 women and Two-Spirit People2 owing to centuries of ongoing colonialism that have resulted in severe disparities in social determinants and outcomes (Allan & Smylie, 2015; Monchalin, Smylie, & Nowgesic, 2020b; Reading & Wien, 2009). Despite this knowledge, there is virtually no literature available surrounding Indigenous women’s and Two-Spirit Peoples’ experiences with abortion in Canada. This is worrisome given that existing barriers to abortion access have mounted owing to the novel coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic; abortion clinics have decreased their hours or closed temporarily, and COVID-19 stay-at-home measures have resulted in a spike in violence, suggesting unplanned pregnancies and a potentially greater need for abortion service access (Abortion Rights Coalition of Canada, 2020a; Cohen, 2020; Gilmore, 2020a; Rumack, 2020).This commentary discusses three areas. First, it explains how the response to COVID-19 has created unique circumstances and barriers for Indigenous women and Two-Spirit People in accessing abortion services in Canada. Second, it explores how ending and preventing pregnancies was (and continues to be) common knowledge within Indigenous communities, and how shame surrounding abortion arrived with settlers and persists today. This commentary concludes by arguing that access to abortion services in a postpandemic world will benefit from the bridging of Western and Indigenous knowledges and bringing Elders into the classroom.
