We also accept monetary donations to help people pay for their abortion if they have to pay out of pocket. We try to be as low barrier as possible. If you would like support, connect with us through social media or email assa.coordinator@gmail.com

Having these services in hospitals throughout the province would make care safer and more accessible for women in this province. I ask the Minister, will he look into this request? 2/2 #nlpoli
