Canada: activists sue province over refusal to fund abortions in private clinics

Lawsuit argues that New Brunswick's refusal violates both the law and the Charter of Rights and Freedoms

Human rights activists in Canada have filed a lawsuit against the province of New Brunswick for its refusal to fund abortion services in private clinics - as they are in the rest of the country.

The lawsuit suit filed by the Canadian Civil Liberties Association (CCLA) argues that the refusal violates both the law and the Charter of Rights and Freedoms - Canada's constitution.
