No surprise–but there’s a split in how people are feeling about the province’s announcement that its going to provide universal coverage for the abortion pill Mifegymiso.

Sandra Azocar with “Friends of Medicare” says its especially important for women in rural communities—who would normally have to travel to Edmonton or Calgary for abortion.

The drug was approved in France in 1988—-and is on the WHO’s list of esstential medicines.

New Brunswick was actually the first province to provide universal coverage.
