Holt’s changes to N.B. abortion access prove elections make a difference

MONCTON–Unifor is celebrating Premier Holt’s reversal of the policies that limited surgical abortion to hospital settings in New Brunswick within days of forming government.

“Expanding access to women’s reproductive care, to health care, is what we and many others advocated for, and what New Brunswickers voted for,” said Atlantic Regional Director Jennifer Murray. “This is a bright light in a week where we have been reminded that our human rights, our right to self-determination, and our access to life-saving health care should never be taken for granted.”
