Now that the Morgantaler lawsuit has been dropped, Provincial NDP leader Dominic Cardy says there's no reason why the Alward Government can't start talking about the issue.
Cardy tells CHSJ News successive provincial governments have just tried to drag this out, hoping the debate over abortion would just disappear.
Cardy doesn't think the Conservatives will change their stance on publicly funding abortion and he denounces the Liberals' call for a review as "weasel words". He says he can see this becoming an election issue especially after the Morgantaler clinic in Fredericton closes in July.
