Whoa...what?

So I was in the waiting room yesterday and I read this column in Chatelaine: Chatelaine.com : Dr. Morgentaler and me. Apparently, you can't get an abortion in PEI and you can barely get one in New Brunswick.

...wait....what?

As the article mentions, access to abortion is considered a constitutional right in Canada, and has been for decades. But apparently two provinces have decided "eh, to hell with the Charter."

No matter what you views on abortion, the provinces can't just disregard the law, for heavens' sake! Of course, I don't see the feds getting into this debate, given the reigning party's stance on abortion...
