Parenting support, strong communities, living wage - we can reduce abortion need w/compassion. But not end it. #NBProchoice #proaccess
Choices are made in context. Instead of punishing choices you dislike, make the other options more possible. #NBProchoice #proaccess
Even w/ *limited* access, risk & burden borne by those ending pregnancies is unnecessary & unjust. #NBProchoice #proaccess
W/o access, some attempt to induce abortion via self-harm b/c of despair, desperation. #NBProchoice #proaccess #mentalhealth
Anti-choice devaluation of consent @ all stages of sex & reproduction has similarities w/ endemic rape culture. #NBProChoice
Anti-choice claims that continuing pregnancy is trivial devalues gift & sacrifice of all parents (bio & otherwise). #NBProChoice
Even desired pregnancies can be difficult. When unwanted, can be traumatic violation. Why compound harm? #NBProchoice #proaccess
Education, birth control, & counselling can reduce # of abortions by avoiding the unwanted pregnancy. #NBProchoice #proaccess
Is practice of faith about conscience & justice, or dogmatic obedience? Our bodies are not property of church nor state. #NBProchoice

Abortion access & reproductive health care in Maritimes already precarious. Losing Morgentaler clinic will make it worse. #NBProchoice
When Morgentaler clinic closes, where'll people go when NB hospitals turn them away? Halifax? Bangor? Quebec? #nomorebackalleys #NBProchoice
#REALTALK: Gov't WON'T pay, & many people CAN'T. If people didn't need it, we wouldn't be yelling on the internet. #NBProchoice
Media coverage of Morgentaler clinic closure highlights financial difficulty but omits mention of pro bono service. #NBProchoice #cdnfem
#TIL Morgentaler clinic provided free services to women unable to pay. Heartened by their kindness, saddened by its necessity. #NBprochoice
All Maritime provinces still refuse to cover costs of abortion unless procedure is done in hospital. #NBprochoice #cdnfem
Morgentaler clinic = safety net covering critical gaps in #NB & #PEI health care. Provinces have 3 months to address. #NBprochoice
NB isn't only province violating Canada Health Act. ALL Maritime provinces have access issues. Morgentaler clinic helps. #NBprochoice
Concerned about reproductive justice and abortion access in Canada? Me too! Follow #NBprochoice for announcement in 15 minutes. #cdnfem
If Morgentaler @ Fredericton closes, people in Maritimes who need abortion will have increased cost, hardship. #NBprochoice
