PEI will expand abortion access
Statement by Vicki Saporta, President and CEO of the National Abortion Federation (NAF) and the National Abortion Federation Canada, on the Premier’s announcement about abortion access in PEI:
We applaud the Premier’s announcement today to respect Charter Rights and make safe, legal abortion care available on PEI. Women should not have to travel out of the province to obtain the abortion care they need. We are pleased that PEI’s government will be moving forward with plans to set up a hospital-based reproductive health care clinic by the end of the year.
