Abortion Payments

By Brian Rushfeldt

Alan Rock says that he will force the provinces to pay private clinics for doing abortions. Yet last year and during the election he was threatening that there would be penalties to provinces for allowing private health care and clinics. What is with this man ? Is he confused or biased ? How can one clinic violate the Canada Health Act yet the other be required under the same law?

Again the liberal government is asking for two tiered justice and violating it own position on health care.

Catholic Health Minister Orders Provinces to Pay for All Abortions
From Life Site News

OTTAWA, Jan 9, 2001 (LSN.ca) - The media has learned that Health Minister Allan Rock's intimidation of New Brunswick - attempting to force the province to publicly fund abortion in private clinics even though it is already funded in hospitals - has been applied to other provinces as well. The CBC reports today that Rock, who calls himself Catholic and has been known to selectively quote from the Catechism in the House of Commons, has threatened three other provinces with penalties if they refuse to fund abortions at private abortuaries. Manitoba, Quebec, and Prince Edward Island all received the warning from Health Canada.

Notorious abortionist Henry Morgentaler controls most of the private clinics in the provinces, and his support for the Liberal Prime Minister (also a "Catholic") during the November elections was based on the PM's commitment to abortion. The government tactics are a clear form of blackmail where they threaten to withhold funds from the provinces if they refuse to completely fund abortions at taxpayer expense. Currently, Ottawa is penalizing Nova Scotia some $58,000 since it refused to pay a "facility fee" at private abortuaries.

Private abortuaries are often preferred by those seeking to end the life of their unborn children since later-term abortions are allowed in the clinics, fewer questions are asked and the abortions are usually performed much quicker that in hospitals.
