1. RJNB is pleased with the government's decision to fund this research project.
We agree that this funding does not solve the systemic issues that forced #SaveClinic554 to close most of its services...

2. ...and we are frustrated that we, and many others, have poured countless hours of protest & advocacy into trying to move the provincial government to #Axe8420 and #FundClinicAbortions.
3. The federal grant will not fund the medical services that #Clinic554 provided. But it provides funding to properly research & document abortion barriers in New Brunswick, a province that stubbornly clings to a practice of state misogyny, not least by restricting abortion.

Shame on you, @ShephardDorothy .

"Dr. Adrian Edgar is still able to perform medical abortions but not surgical abortions from his practice."

This debunk deserves a thread.

1)You are the Minister of Health and should know that Drs do not "perform" medical abortions, they prescribe them.
2)Any Dr willing to do so can prescribe medication abortion and it is completely covered by medicare in NB.
2/4
3) Unlike medication abortion, surgical abortions *are* "performed" and cannot be performed by any willing Dr. Even if they could be, they would not be covered by medicare.
4)There are not "multiple" sites for surgical abortion in NB, there are 3. 2 of them are in Moncton.

.@CBCNB's election night coverage is underway.

We'll be tweeting out periodic updates as the evening progresses.

Polls have now closed across New Brunswick.

Reminder: A single party needs 25 seats to form a majority.

.@poitrasCBC is explaining how we got here:

2018 minority; resignation of a PC minister over closing rural ERs; COVID19 unity; Higgs attempts a power grab through all party talks; Higgs calls a snap election in the name of "stability".

#NBvotes2020 #SaveClinic554
Super early lead for the PCs.

On air discussion over whether Higgs has done enough to sway Francophone New Brunswickers, especially in northern NB.
