It's been a while since we introduced ourselves!
We are Shannon, Bridget and Emma + a whole lot of people who voluntarily offer their support through mutual aid.

We provide non-medical support to anyone who needs an abortion in Atlantic Canada.

This might be arranging a ride, offering gas money, arranging a place to stay, offering peer support, connecting with @actioncanadashr, @NatAbortionFed, and other orgs to help you access abortion care.

"Earlier this week, Planned Parenthood N.L. executive director Nikki Baldwin told CBC News she'd like to see hospitals offer surgical abortions.

During question period on Thursday, Torngat Mountains MHA @LelaEvansNL asked the government to look into that request."

Having these services in hospitals throughout the province would make care safer and more accessible for women in this province. I ask the Minister, will he look into this request?

Residents of Labrador must travel to St. John's to receive abortion care. It is extremely expensive, time consuming and is a significant barrier for folks.

[NL NDP Caucus @NLNDPCaucus]

.@LelaEvansNL Speaker, Planned Parenthood NL is asking the government to provide abortion services in hospitals run by the four regional health authorities.
