In Saskatchewan roughly half of all abortions in the province are done in one hospital – Saskatoon City Hospital. Early in the year the directors were written to and asked pertinent questions, for example: numbers done; was any treatment tried prior to abortion; re anti-depressives, did the abortions cure the depression etc. etc. Letters and phone calls were ignored, so the hospital was picketed every Sunday from Mother’s Day to Father’s Day – on the first day there were 45 people present, this gradually increased until Father’s Day where there were just short of 450 people picketing.
There was still no response from the ‘hospital’ so the City Council (the owners of the ‘hospital’) were asked to try and get a response. The mayor himself conducted an interview with the directors last week and the directors have refused to reveal any information.
The new approach is to be through the Minister of Health, and his support is being sought on the seemingly simple matter of obtaining some truthful information from a Canadian Hospital!!
