Prevent public funding of abortion on demand at Morgentaler Clinic in Fredericton NB
Prevent public funding of abortion on demand at Morgentaler Clinic in Fredericton NB
- A group of university students has launched a petition in favor of public funding for the Morgentaler Clinic. They already have 2,000 names as of March 14, and are aiming at 10,000. We need to let the New Brunswick government know not everyone agrees.
- This abortion on demand facility is the only one in Canada that receives no public funding. That's a good thing!
- Please sign the petition and spread the word.
- Life is a precious gift. Pregnancy is not a disease.
- Abortion is a violent, tragic solution to a human problem. There are positive alternatives to abortion,
- An abortion can bring great harm - emotional, physical and spiritual - to a woman.
- A child's life begins in the womb. Abortion prematurely cuts that life short.
- Society has a duty to protect the life of every child.
- Pregnant mothers have lost more than 10,000 children at the Morgentaler Clinic in Fredericton
- Abortion on demand does not meet the legal test of "medical necessity" required by Medicare.
- No Canadian law or court has established that a woman has a constitutional right to abortion on demand, or that a province has a legal duty to fund abortion on demand.
- Polls have repeatedly shown that tax-payers strongly oppose funding abortion on demand.
- It is necessary to counteract unreasonable pressure in favour of funding the Morgentaler Clinic.
- Thank you for your support.

Petition to: The Hon. Hugh J. Flemming
Dear Mr. Minister,
I urge you not to fund abortion on demand at Morgentaler Clinic in Fredericton NB.
Abortion on demand does not pass the legal test of "medical necessity" required by Medicare. No Canadian law or court has established that a woman has a constitutional right to abortion on demand, or that a province has a legal duty to fund abortion on demand.
More than 10,000 abortions have been performed on demand at the Clinic. Our health care system should be supporting life and helping pregnant mothers. New Brunswick can ill-afford to pay for the lives of so many babies to be prematurely ended. We all have a right to life - and as far as I am concerned my right began in my mother's womb! Prenatal violence should not be a routine part of maternal health care.
I also urge you to investigate the Clinic, to ensure it complies with reasonable standards of public health and safety, including properly informed consent prior to an abortion and the proper disposal of human remains. I am concerned that the Clinic may not properly inform women of fetal development, alternatives to aborton, and the potential medical harm that can result from an abortion.
New Brunswick can be rightly proud to be the only province which does not publicly fund its private abortion facility. This is not something to be ashamed of, though some people may be.
Please do nothing to bring harm to prenatal children and their mothers. Not funding this abortion-on-demand facility is consistent with good health care, and it is legally sound.
