There were two good news stories recently about potential abortion services closing (yea):
Number 1:
One of Canada’s largest non-profit sexual health organizations is at risk of closing dozens of its clinics due to funding constraints. Options for Sexual Health operates 52 clinics across B.C. Thirty are managed by the nonprofit, while the rest operate in partnership with other organizations.
Number 2:
https://vancouverisland.A national group that helps people who have trouble accessing abortion services says it may be forced to shut down in several months after Health Canada declined to renew its funding for the upcoming year.
Abortion Care Canada [formerly National Abortion Federation Canada] says it had sought $1.3 million from the federal government’s Sexual and Reproductive Health Fund for the next fiscal year but will get nothing, despite having received about $2.2 million in total since the fund was established in 2021.
(This is interesting. I just tried going to Abortion Care Canada https://nafcanada.org/ website and it looks like you have to have a user id to do so. What's up with that?)
Imagine that. Pro-abortion charities might have to actually start fundraising instead of depending on government handouts. The horror.
Today, Lisa Hepfner, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister for Women and Gender Equality and Youth announced up to $41.5 million for 106 projects across four different 2SLGBTQI+ funds. This funding will advance equality for 2SLGBTQI+ communities across Canada and address the rise in hate.
This announcement came January 31st in the middle of Canada's tariff crisis with the US. Maybe they thought nobody would notice. And that's $41.5 million over and above the gazillions we already spend on LGBT.
