N.B. health workers launch abortion care network on Morgentaler anniversary
Martha Paynter, the spokesperson for the New Brunswick Abortion Care Network, says that the network’s 20 founding members in nursing, pharmacy, family medicine and obstetrics aim to increase access to and awareness of provincial abortion care.In 2017, New Brunswick became the first province to publicly fund medication abortions, in which a pregnancy is ended by taking two pills, and residents are able to self-refer to the province’s three family planning centres to access abortion care.
Paynter says the network wants to ensure that residents are aware of the options available and to promote abortion care training among other health professionals.
