🇨🇦Chatty Cathy Cody🇨🇦 They are operating at a VERY reduced capacity. They are still providing abortions, though. We confirmed this with them last week before publishing.

This is what is happening to the clinic used in the photo. cbc.ca/news/canada/ne…

The province of New Brunswick is currently being sued by the Canadian Civil Liberties Association for restricting abortion access in the province. The federal government should be suing, too.

We have a Premier who is in clear violation of the Canada Health Act, openly speaks at anti-choice rallies, and the federal govt only clawed back a measly sum from the Health transfer only to give the money back. No backbone to stand up to this man restricting abortion access.

'If our journalists are perceived as biased or if they engage in editorializing on social media, that can undercut the credibility of the entire newsroom.'

I am told the New York Times sent this reminder out to staff today. The language is from their social media guidelines.

I was just asked to be on The National to discuss Roe and abortion...and then I found out it would be a panel with a 'pro-life/anti-abortion' voice. I am livid and sent this reply. I couldn't care less if this means I will not be asked back to the CBC. It needed to be said.

If you're thinking about joining a protest near you, there are some crucial factors to consider. wired.trib.al/m2ojTO5

Stop asking Trudeau/Singh to codify abortion rights into law. Instead, push them to hold provinces accountable for the fact that they are not providing adequate access.

Without access, there is no choice.
