Health Care: Mari Basiletti

health care: Abortion Access Now P.E.I. happy about plans for Women's Wellness Centre This is something that women on P.E.I. have been protesting about and lobbying the government for for over 30 years, said Basiletti, according to CBC. We're pleased that women's health care needs are going to be looked after in a specialized way. Mari Basiletti pointed to the establishment of a women's health-care centre in Summerside, one which is performing on-Island abortions for the first time in decades, as a key step forward over the last year. Planned Parenthood under threat But Basiletti said women's health-care services are under threat in other parts of the world. In Canada, she said, women still face issues of violence and low pay. She noted Planned Parenthood has been defunded in parts of the world, and it is being talked about in the U.S. We need to stand up for all women, and globally women have a lot of issues, said Basiletti.
