Within just three weeks of the 2024 provincial election, Premier Holt eliminated the protections of Regulation 84-20, a rule that had prevented taxpayer dollars from going towards abortion procedures at private clinics. Now money-making abortion businesses are free to set up shop anywhere in the province to ply their barbaric trade at taxpayers’ expense.

Premier Holt has also re-classified the surgical abortion procedure as “minor surgery” instead of “major surgery”. This murderous act, which was previously restricted to three hospitals in the province, may now be performed in scores of community health clinics, bringing the killing of preborn babies home to our towns and villages. Furthermore, by reclassifying abortion as a “minor surgery,” Ms. Holt has put women at heightened risk of harm and death by removing the medical safeguards that exist for “major surgeries”. Complications can and do occur during surgical abortion procedures – such as hemorrhaging or sepsis. Local clinics do not have the staff or equipment to handle such emergencies.

In addition, the Holt Liberals have implemented a revised Policy 713 in the province’s school systems. Now biological boys, if they simply “identify” as female, must be allowed to dominate girls’ sports and have full, unquestioning access to girls’ locker rooms and washrooms. This affront to basic human rights will put every girl at risk of bullies and predators within our schools. Furthermore, the gender-transitioning of children will not require parental consent. Children can pick their own gender, name, and pronouns under the influence of pro-trans counsellors and teachers. In addition, pro-LGBT clubs have now been mandated for every school, and parental consent is not required for participation.

These changes are putting the lives and futures of New Brunswick children and youth at risk.
