Curious about the closure of Clinic 554 in Fredericton, New Brunswick? A thread: #Clinic554 #nbpoli
Clinic 554 is not an abortion clinic, as news implies. It's Private Health Care—expensive—and wants Medicare coverage. It covers transsexual/transgender health care, and also family health care, including abortions paid out-of-pocket. #Clinic554 #nbpoli https://globalnews.ca/news/7325002/letter-sent-to-n-b-health-minister-calls-for-support-of-clinic-554/
And if abortions are the only service keeping a Transgender health clinic open, there are bigger questions to be asked. #Clinic554 #nbpoli https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/new-brunswick/clinic-554-transgender-health-care-new-brunswick-1.5485648
"It is inexplicable that vasectomy, a reproductive surgical procedure performed on men, is funded by medicare when performed in or out of hospital, but abortion is not,”
Abortion is not birth control. Does Clinic 554 think it is? #Clinic554 #nbpoli https://globalnews.ca/news/7325002/letter-sent-to-n-b-health-minister-calls-for-support-of-clinic-554/

"...hormone readiness assessments, hormone replacement therapy, trans-positive pelvic and chest exams, and pre- and post-surgical care for transgender persons."
Why does Clinic 554 news centre on abortion and not trans-rights health? #Clinic554 #nbpoli https://www.country94.ca/2020/09/18/group-doubles-down-on-request-to-higgs-to-save-clinic-554/

The rainbow painted on the building isn't in support of women or abortion, it's in support of LGBTQ+ health-related issues; why is Clinic 554—in media—hiding behind abortion instead of proudly defending their Trans Health Care? #Clinic554 #nbpoli https://globalnews.ca/news/7325002/letter-sent-to-n-b-health-minister-calls-for-support-of-clinic-554/
@CBCNB @CTVAtlantic @Global_NB @country94chsj Clinic 554 centres around Transgender Health Care. Representing it as an abortion clinic is disingenuous. #Clinic554 is out of money not purely because of abortions; if it was, they could cease abortions and stay running. #nbpoli
