Morguentaler Sues New Brunswick Over Abortion Funding

Court of Queen's Bench Judge Paulette Garnett has granted Morgentaler "public interest standing" to represent women in his lawsuit against the province.

Morgentaler, 85, is trying to force the New Brunswick government to pay for abortions at his clinic in Fredericton, but it has steadfastly refused to do so.
...
About 700 women a year pay between $550 and $750 for abortions at the Morgentaler clinic. The cost depends on how far along they are in their pregnancies.

Under provincial legislation, the government will pay for abortions only in a hospital setting, providing two doctors have certified that it is medically necessary.
So the 700 above-mentioned abortions are purely abortions on demand; they can't pass as medically necessary even under the watered-down rules set by the province. Is there any reason why taxpayers should be forced to pay for elective injurious procedures? Let alone - to subsidize an establishment that takes away babies' lives...

Nearly 7000 babies were slaughtered in Morguentaler's abortuary since it had opened in 1994. Instead of granting CM (Chief Murderer) Morguentaler the right to seek free services for his customers, the court should have overturned its earlier decision, allowing NB government to kick the chief abortionist and his murderous franchise out of the province.
