New Brunswick Right to Life
disagrees with Provincial NDP leader Dominic Cardy's contention that the
provincial government should follow the abortion ruling that came down from the
Supreme Court in 1988. The Executive-Director of New
Brunswick Right to Life Peter Ryan argues constitutionally, health care is

be publicly funded or not. Cardy tells Tide News the time
has come for both the Alward Government and opposition Liberals to stop skirting
this issue.

announcement about the impending closure of the Morganthaler clinic in
Fredericton is a ploy for public sympathy to put the pressure on for public
funding or attract wealthy benefactors.
