Just weeks after the Federal government decided it won't force New Brunswick to pay for abortions in private clinics, a pro-abortion lawyer from Moncton has announced she'll try to do just that. Michélle Caron, a radical feminist, plans to sue the province if it doesn't agree to pay for every single abortion including abortions on demand performed at Morgentaler's clinic in Fredericton. She links abortion funding restrictions to a conspiracy between the government of New Brunswick and the Catholic Church. Her claim is that refusal to pay for abortions on demand is not only "discriminatory" and "unconstitutional" but it also violates the principle of "separation of the church and state" which Caron wants to see enforced.
Michélle Caron knows all the magic words. She counts on words like "discrimination" and "conspiracy" to outweigh the arguments in defense of human life and convince the judges that "separation of the church and state" also means separation of government from morals and ethics, that killing the unborn should be easier than visiting a family doctor.
As Caron told the CBC the lawsuit will be launched this spring if the New Brunswick health minister Michael Murphy rejects her demand to lift funding restrictions on abortion. Apparently she'll be meeting Mr. Murphy sometime in February to present her ultimatum. Therefore we must make sure the minister hears from the pro-life side as well. And if the case goes to the court - we must demand our right to there too. The fight is not going to be easy. Yet keeping the government policy which effectively argues that abortion is not a "right" but elective injurious procedure is worth the fight.
