Repeal 84-20 of NB Medical Act: All women deserve equal access to abortion in Canada

by Halifax LEAF


Halifax LEAF, a branch of the National Women's Legal Education and Action Fund, dedicated to feminist litigation, education and reform, demands a repeal of Regulation 84-20 of the NB Medical Act.
 
Today July 18 marks the last day of operation of the Fredericton Morgentaler clinic.  Regulation 84-20 bars publicly-funded abortion from being performed by a GP, in a clinic, and without the permission of two physicians. The closure of the clinic will result in 600 patients annually being forced to carry unwanted pregnancies. 
 
A rally is being held in Fredericton at noon.
