A Yukon woman is raising the alarm about the cost and difficulty of accessing abortion medication in the territory.
Jane Doe says she had to seek an abortion through the emergency room, because the Opal clinic — the territory’s only dedicated abortion services provider — is only open one day a week, for four hours.
By the time Doe had received a prescription for the abortion pill Mifegymiso, the hospital pharmacy had closed. She had to get back to work the next day, so she went to a different pharmacy downtown. She says the pharmacist told her the abortion pill cost $300.
“I broke down,” said Doe. “I only had $250 in my bank account and I still needed to buy food and gas to get home.”
Cabinet communications said the Yukon government offers Mifegymiso to Yukoners at no cost.
But the government acknowledges free pills are only available through the Whitehorse hospital.
Respond to my points without the use of false equivalencies, or don’t respond at all.
You made no points other than “why have any other access points then a single location?”
Idk, probably because even a single location is inaccessible to most people? If they can access the “$300” ones… why cant they accesss the affordable ones?
Take your bad faith arguing elsewhere.
You first.
Don’t worry sweetie, I won’t be trying to have any intelligent conversations with you in the future because I know you lack the prerequisites.
