Policing is just lighting public money on fire, but make it racist.

I’m so excited!!! Today begins our fourth iteration of the Dal Health Interprofessional Abortion Course. Best yet! Thanks to my awesome co-facilitators CJ Blennerhassett, RM, MHA Danielle Leblanc, Lianne Yoshida, Kristen Turtle, Anna Finlayson, Laurie Graham, Melissa Brooks and Tava Clayton.

We wrapped up the final class in our Dal Health interprofessional abortion course. The feedback is really telling: people in all disciplines and members of the public WANT TO KNOW ABOUT ABORTION. And they got that from this course. Demystify, normalize, and provide abortion!

It’s come up a lot this week, so here I go again with NS Abortion 101. Elective abortion (just because you want one) is available to 16 wks gestation in Halifax. There are 3 other surgical sites and dozens of medical abortion providers across NS. Self refer: 1-833-352-0719 1/

Access to free contraception results in significant cost savings + improvements in population health, and Nova Scotia has the experience and nimbleness to lead nationally and internationally by committing to free contraception for all, says martha paynter halifaxexaminer.ca/province-house…

Curious about how we got to where we are now with abortion rights in Canada and where we go from here for reproductive liberation? I wrote a book about it! An approachable, pretty book, #AbortionToAbolition, published by @fernpub. fernwoodpublishing.ca/book/abortion-…

For immediate release from our partners at HSHC. We’re very concerned about the state of GAC in NS and the government’s lack of response to these barriers to access. We stand with HSHC and other advocates calling for urgent action to effectively address these challenges.

Good morning to people who fund abortions. ⛅️

For #nursesweek2022, a shout out to all the nurses providing #abortion care- assessment, counselling, ultrasonography, phlebotomy, medication, OR, recovery, & follow up. And to all the nurse practitioners who prescribe 💊 abortion. Political action is a nursing intervention

#Nurseleadership in #abortioncare has the potential to improve #accesstocare; but nurses are underutilized and their roles are under-researched & under-supported by their institutions. @andiemcarson martha paynter Wendy V Norman Sarah Munro #NursingWeek ow.ly/UsW250J5lEO

Midwives in Nova Scotia have the privilege of working closely with nurses at all three hospitals where midwives are employed - @IWKHealth, Nova Scotia Health St. Martha's Regional Hospital, and South Shore Regional Hospital. We work with nurses who specialize in labour & birth care... 1/3

If you are organizing a rally for abortion ‘rights’ in Canada please make sure first that you know how access here works. Abortion is completely decriminalized. Access barriers include poverty, stigma, racism and gendered violence. Organize to end those things, please.

Today is class #1 for the sixth iteration of our Abortion Care Course Dalhousie University. Launched in 2020, our interprofessional course is the first and only of its kind in Canada, and we have trained 100s of health professionals in abortion care.
