Rebecca Walberg and myself on abortion and maternal health in the National Post today.
My main point is that there is a fair amount of ideology in the maternal health debate and au contraire to what the maintream media is pushing, blame for the useless politicking lies at the feet of pro-abortion activists who would rather throw out a maternal health mandate than see one go forward without abortion included.

I loved your article.
There are also quite a few people worrying that if abortion coverage is dropped today, it’ll be contraception dropped tomorrow. There is a political movement which opposes contraception on religious and moral grounds, and it overlaps with those opposed to abortion.
Thank you so much for writing this. It’s been a bit of a bee in my bonnet ever since I read that Unsafe Abortions report, and actually took a look at how they were estimating the number of abortions that were performed.
You would think that the UN and the WHO would be reliable, and relatively unbiased sources of information. But if I were to say publicly, in regular company, that the UN and the WHO are soooo pro-choice that they fall in the pro-abortion camp, I’m afraid that people would look at me like I’d grown an extra nose on my forehead, and immediately dismiss me as a loony conspiracy theorist. In fact, I find myself checking, and re-checking these reports, as I can’t quite believe they could be so blatantly biased toward the pro-choice position.
Suricou,
Contraception isn’t covered in Canada, at least not by the public system. Women have to pay for their own birth control pills.
Well done, Andrea!
