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
provincial jurisdiction so its up to each province to determine if abortion will
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.
Ryan also says he's concerned the
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.
