OTTAWA -- As hospitals across Canada begin cancelling and postponing surgeries to contend with the spread of COVID-19, provinces and territories have deemed abortions an essential service.

As the news broke that hospitals were suspending non-urgent and elective surgeries and procedures both in Canada and abroad, stories emerged of abortion access being impeded. In both Texas and Ohio, lawmakers listed abortions among nonessential surgeries and medical procedures that would be delayed to free up resources for the fight against COVID-19.

Health care is under provincial and territorial jurisdiction, meaning that the extent to which surgeries and procedures are being cancelled vary across Canada. However, while all provinces and territories have placed new limits on the kinds of surgeries and procedures being provided, they've confirmed to CTVNews.ca that regular abortion access will continue.

I'm glad to see that we are maintaining that service here. It certainly will prevent the need for more late term abortions and women dying from back alley/DIY ones. It's considered an urgent service here. From the linked article:

"We are not suspending abortions. Abortions are not considered elective. They are time-sensitive and proceeding as planned," said Paul Turenne, a spokesperson for the Winnipeg Regional Health Authority.

The spokesperson for Ontario's health minister:

When asked about abortions specifically, Chazan said the government is "not involved in the clinical decision-making of any procedure."

I'm glad my province's government (conservative) does not try to tell doctors how to practice medicine.

Remember, the same people claiming to be "prolife" are the ones asking for human sacrifice to the god of capitalism.

I have a lot of respect for the Canadian system of health care. Many years ago the Maritimes got behind on equipment purchase. They couldn't provide everyone with a CAT scan that needed one. Bangor, Maine had an oversupply. So until the provinces could catch up with their equipment they paid for the scan. travel expenses and probably meals and lodging for patients to travel to Bangor for scans. For a couple of years we had Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, New Brunswick and the occasional Quebec plates in the hospitals parking lots. I never saw a Labrador plate but then they probably flew in. I just don't see the US doing anything like that.

Canadians should be very greatful for the US. We serve as a role model. They can see what we're doing and then do the opposite. LOL
