Literally all we want is accessible and safe healthcare for trans* people, women, and other marginalized groups. That’s it. Healthcare. In a pandemic. And the premier is blocking people making it known how he is actively refusing us that care. https://twitter.com/abortionrights/status/1292075585523474432
NB has been in violation of the Canada Health Act re: abortion access for many years. The federal government withheld a portion of the health transfer payments, the money residents paid out of pocket for abortion (over 100k) but released the funding due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
C554 is NOT a private clinic like Higgs and Flemming claim. It is a family practice that also offers trans* and abortion healthcare, as well as specialized care for HIV positive people.
The government of NB withholds funding for the clinic despite being a family practice because they offer DESPERATELY needed out of hospital abortions.
NB refuses to cover out of hospital abortions but only offers them at three hospitals in a condensed area, this is not access. C554 is used by patients all over the Atlantic bc it is one of the only offices to offer specialized trans* healthcare as well.
This isn’t a question of *if* this government is on an active crusade against women and gender minorities. They are, and aren’t being held accountable. We are on a last push here, things don’t look good.
