Ontario promised to overhaul abortion care – but clinics say they’ve been left out

Ontario’s abortion care system has been in a state of disrepair for years, and last December, Queen’s Park decided to do something about it, committing to overhaul the way it funds its clinics.

The news came as a relief to people working at some of the province’s imperilled abortion centres. It also came as a surprise.

Until a reporter asked them about it, none of the six clinics Global News spoke with knew about the plans.

The government has also vowed to consider how the changes could impact providers, yet not one employee said they’d heard from the ministry of health.

Reproductive-rights advocates Global News interviewed say Ontario has neglected to include them in the planning as well.
