'Abortion is healthcare': Canadians protest the Roe v. Wade reversal in U.S., but advocates reveal where Canada is failing
Yahoo ^ | June 27, 2022 | Elisabetta Bianchini

The weekend was filled with Canadians protesting the Roe v. Wade reversal in the U.S., and local advocates want more acton for sexual and reproductive health rights in Canada.

"Let’s stand in solidarity with U.S. activists fighting for reproductive justice, but also take action here at home," a statement from Joyce Arthur, Executive Director of Abortion Rights Coalition of Canada reads. "How can we help Americans coming to Canada for abortions when we don’t even have enough access ourselves?"

"That’s especially the case for the most marginalized, including Indigenous, transgender, 2SLGBTQI+, immigrant, and youth communities. Now is the time for both B.C. and the federal government to fund an expansion of SRH and abortion care and train more providers."

Organizations in B.C. are calling for the provincial government to make contraception free (in the province and across Canada), have comprehensive sex education in schools, improve abortion access in rural and remote areas, and make sexual and reproductive health care more trans and gender-inclusive.

Additionally, advocates are requesting the federal government to enforce the Canada Health Act against provinces that fail to provide accessible or fully funded sexual and reproductive health care or abortion. They are also calling for revoked charitable status for anti-choice group, guaranteed asylum and immunity to abortion providers and advocates fleeing violence, criminal prosecution or civil lawsuits for their reproductive justice work.

"We see many Canadian politicians standing up and declaring their support for abortion rights. This is absolutely necessary, and important to reassure Canadians that their right to an abortion is not in peril," a statement from Teale Phelps Bondaroff, Chair and Co-Founder of the AccessBC Campaign reads.

Only heard that term recently, WTH does it mean? If any more “identities” are added the list will be longer than the alphabet.

Canada doesn’t care. It’s their ever-dwindling supply of “activists” mentally-mired in 1971 and their younger sycophants who care. And their media, of course.

If it wasn’t for the media — theirs and ours — propping them up and trying their best to make them seem like a “movement,” these hysterical Leftists would be as antiquated as avocado kitchen paneling.

A pertinent aside: For, oh, a few hundred years or so, the media has always enjoyed reporting the antics of people who scream and yell and throw objects and light fires. It’s always sold papers and now it gets ratings. While most of our on-camera media people tend to side with the Left, the guys and gals in the Executive Suite just love the chaos, because it makes for good TV, and makes them boatloads of money.

Well, it is probably a fairly accurate term as likely these folks are demon possessed.

Having a procedure to kill a perfectly healthy baby in the womb of a perfectly healthy mother is “health care”? That’s just like the weasel words the abortionists constantly use; “a decision between a woman and her doctor”. Except the vast majority of the time the doctor tells them they and their baby are perfectly fine. They don’t want a doctor involved in their “decision” any more than they want you or I involved. They want the baby gone (dead) and no one else has a say. The doctor is just the hitman they hire to do the dirty job.

Because they have NHS ... and they escape across the border to get care if they are at the tail end of the long, long, long waits.

Their next move will be to open Canadian Consulates in Pro Life states and provide abortions on Canadian territory that is within U.S. borders.

“ Two Spirit? Is that what they are calling Bi-polar now?🤔”

It’s supposedly an Indian phrase for a dude who swishes while he walks.

Dismembering living children and selling the pieces to pharmaceutical research companies is what they mean when they talk about “healthcare”.

That makes perfect sense. /s
