Abortion access will be maintained across Canada amid COVID-19 outbreak

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.

CTVNews.ca reached out to every province and territory to confirm whether abortion services would be impacted. Here's what they said.The province has cancelled elective surgeries, but will continue to provide access to abortions. "Termination of pregnancy is not considered an elective procedure and will continue to be offered," said Doug Dahl, a communications officer with the Saskatchewan Health Authority.

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

Would be awesome to have a pandemic baby.

Because people are dying and adding to that number is a good idea?

It's a woman's right, to have an abortion!

Wow Brian, look at you go. Using all your vast medical and social knowledge to make decisions for women across our great land. Is there anything you would like to impose upon me? With all your worldly knowledge?

Baby killers still have to work lol ...

Cancer surgeries are being postponed and abortions are not? Who sets the priorities here? It isn't the feminist JustinTrudeau, is it?

Aren't those medical resources that could be put to better use right now?

Murder as usual.

But some cancer patient ops stop. Yea, we'll find favour with God on that move.

If your distancing, people shouldn’t be getting pregnant. Am I wrong?

Gotta make sure they continue their sacrifice to Satan

What the heck Canada? 😡And I (pregnant) can’t even get in to get my blood work done because it’s not essential.

Good

Abortions are NOT essential!

Why is this news? It’s kind of an essential service that doesn’t take away ventilators. Maybe this will be news in the US but not in Canada. Shame on you for trying to create a problem that is not in Canada.

Sure on one side we try and save a soul and then on the other we kill a soul.

I'm far from left....but every women should have the choice...in a free country..

Of course murdering babies won't stop .

Yet my prenatal appointments are restricted, and significantly less frequent. Ok?

Wow , a new low for Canada and it’s murdering industry. Shameful

Wtf why

Disgusting... we should be concentrating on saving lives!

So is access to many other medical procedures that don't deplete resources required to treat COVID-19. Not reporting on those? Why not?

Cancer surgeries are being postponed and abortions are not? Who sets the priorities here? It isn't the feminist JustinTrudeau, is it?

Good. Abortion is an emergency.

Doesn’t make any sense we are destroying are economy to save life and they want to kill lives. And they are telling people this is an essential service. CampaignLife ProLife

My heart weeps.

I always enjoy the male professional opinions on this matter lol

Breathing access may be more sporadic.

Looks like they have to go to Iowa to have their prescriptions filled. ;-P

Disgusting

of course, the globalists don't want Canadians they want immigrants...

It makes complete sense in a Trudeauian world.

I guess the virus isn't killing people fast enough. 🙄

Thank goodness

And yet they cancel Cancer surgeries 🤦‍♂️

But you're cancelling surgeries for people with cancer?

Oh thank goodness. We need to be able to kill babies so that the virus doesn’t get them first.

Best use of medical resources during a global pandemic.

Make the conservatives cry, give them diapers too.
