In 1985, New Brunswick's government amended the Medical Act such that any physician performing an abortion not in a hospital, would be guilty of professional misconduct. In 1994, this provision was found to be unconstitutional.
However, New Brunswick still refuses to pay for abortions performed in privately operated clinics.
Doctor Morgentaler is quoted by Moulton (2003) as accusing the New Brunswick provincial government of not only being sexist and chauvinistic, but also of oppressing women. He relates the money that has been saved by not paying for these abortions to be in direct relation to the misery of women. However, Dr. Ed Schollenberg notes that there are more factors than just the debate over abortion that factor into this issue. There is also a general reluctance to provide funding for any private medical services, in New Brunswick. Although other areas of Canada enjoy a variety of private services, many of these are not covered by the New Brunswick provincial insurance program. This is coupled with a history of restricted access to abortion in the area, further increasing Dr. Morgentaler's challenge.
The result of the provincial government's restrictions are significant to women, especially those in rural areas and smaller communities. With reduced access in major metropolitan centers, this will further negatively affect access in these more rural areas. As an example, Moncton Hospital, which had been performing more than 300 abortions per year, changed their policy in 2003 to only performing emergency abortions, further limiting access to of his work regarding securing safe abortions in Canada.

sexuality: Scholarly vs. popular media source comparison Scholarly article According to Roberts (et al. 2010), sexuality is becoming increasingly viewed as a commodity in the discourse of the western urban economy. Various terms that have been applied to this new emerging culture include 'striptease culture' and a 'pleasure-saturated culture' in which highly sexualized services and images such as lap-dancing have become mainstreamed and common (Roberts et al. 2010).

Scholars must use reliable information to build new conclusions and arguments of their own. If the information they use to build an argument is in any way flawed or unreliable, their entire conclusion can thus be in jeopardy. As such, one way to ensure that the information a scholar compiles is valid enough is to use peer reviewed articles from reliable academic journals. Peer reviewed articles have the their
