Reproductive Justice New Brunswick hasn't added a story.
Please help us ensure the people of New Brunswick have access to safe abortion on demand.
Reproductive Justice New Brunswick (RJNB) is a collective of
individuals from across New Brunswick dedicated to ensuring publicly
funded and self-referred abortion is available in the province. We
demand the repeal of NB Regulation 84-20, Schedule 2 (a.1) of the
Medical Services Payment Act which requires two doctors to sign off
that the procedure is “medically required” and that it must be
performed in a hospital by an OBGYN. As a result, the people of New
Brunswick have unequal access to abortion services as compared to the
rest of Canada.
The Morgentaler Clinic in Fredericton, New
Brunswick’s only public reproductive health clinic is slated to close
on July 18th 2014, resulting from this restrictive provincial
legislation. As a result, New Brunswick is in a crisis situation.
The current provincial government, as well as the official
opposition, refuse to take action. The current barriers to abortion
set in place by the Government of New Brunswick are not only
unconstitutional, they are dangerous; when abortion is restricted or
difficult to access, health and wellbeing declines.
Reproductive Justice NB has begun an effort to lease the
existing Morgentaler Clinic in Fredericton. The collective is in
discussion with the building’s owners to enter into a lease agreement
and further explore options to encourage family practitioners who
support a person’s right to full reproductive services, including the
right to abortion. The estimate cost of the lease agreement is $100,000.
While securing a lease agreement is a bandaid solution and does
not automatically mean New Brunswickers will have improved abortion
access, it does give the people of New Brunswick a fighting chance to
access their rights under the Charter of Rights and the Canada Health Act.
Please consider helping Reproductive Justice New Brunswick
reach this important goal.
Every donation, however large or small, is one step closer to
ensuring reproductive choice in New Brunswick. Unless this oppressive
regulation is overturned, New Brunswickers will not have equal access
to abortion services. If Reproductive Justice NB is unable to raise
the full $100,000, all money raised will go towards renewed efforts to
overturn the Medical Services Payment Act.

Aidez-nous à sauver la seule clinique d’avortement dans les Maritimes
Justice reproductive Nouveau-Brunswick (JRNB) est un collectif de personnes du Nouveau-Brunswick œuvrant pour le financement public des services d’avortement et pour un accès aux services sans référence partout à travers la province.
Nous réclamons l’abrogation du règlement NB 84-20, annexe 2 (a.1) de la Loi sur le paiement des services médicaux du Nouveau-Brunswick. Ce règlement exige que deux médecins certifient par écrit que l’intervention est « médicalement nécessaire » et qu’elle doit être effectuée dans un hôpital par un spécialiste en obstétrique ou en gynécologie. Conséquemment, les personnes du Nouveau-Brunswick ont un accès inégal aux services d’avortement comparativement aux autres provinces canadiennes.
La Clinique Morgentaler de Fredericton, la seule clinique privée de santé reproductive, prévoit fermer ses portes le 18 juillet 2014 en raison de cette législation provinciale contraignante. Résultat : le Nouveau-Brunswick est en situation de crise. Le gouvernement provincial actuel, ainsi que l’opposition officielle, refusent d’agir.
Les obstacles à l’avortement mis en place par le gouvernement du Nouveau-Brunswick ne sont pas seulement inconstitutionnels, ils sont dangereux : lorsque l’accès à l’avortement est limité ou difficile, la santé et le bien-être sont en déclin.
Justice reproductive NB a entamé des démarches afin de louer la Clinique Morgentaler de Fredericton. Le collectif est en discussion avec le propriétaire de l’édifice afin de conclure un bail et explore différentes options afin d’encourager les médecins de famille qui appuient le plein accès aux droits reproductifs, y compris le droit à l’avortement. Le coût d’un bail est estimé à 100 000 $.
Bien que l’obtention d’un bail reste une solution court terme et ne garantit pas automatiquement que les Néo-Brunswickoises auront un accès accru à l’avortement, ceci donne aux gens de la province une chance de se battre pour le respect des droits établis par la Charte des droits et par la Loi canadienne de la santé.
Merci de bien vouloir envisager d’aider Justice reproductive NB à atteindre cet important objectif. Chaque don, qu’il soit petit ou gros, nous rapproche de l’option d’avoir des choix en matière de reproduction au Nouveau-Brunswick. Tant que cette réglementation oppressive ne sera pas retirée, les Néo-Brunswickoises n’auront pas un accès égal aux services d’avortement. Si Justice reproductive NB n’est pas en mesure de collecter le plein montant de 100 000 $, tout l’argent recueilli sera alors utilisé pour financer des efforts renouvelés en vue de modifier la Loi sur le paiement des services médicaux.
