The UCP last night passed a motion to defund 3rd trimester abortions. Ones after 20 wk are cause medically necessary. So if passed into law in Alberta, if a woman’s life is endangered by a 3rd trimester pregnancy, & she can’t afford what they charge, she’d have to travel to another province or die.

I have been studying (lack of) public confidence in vaccination for over a decade now. This is the first time I have really felt scared for public health writ large. The damage the current US administration is likely doing to children’s health & safety, domestically & internationally, is horrifying.

Headlines like this are extremely dangerous. Because moms of young kids are the people who make the bulk of the vaccine decisions for famillies. And for a lot of them, "reading the news" looks like scrolling past headlines on social media in the spare moments of the chaos of caring for kids.

This holiday season, adopt one of the three chimpanzees you see here – and help honour Dr. Jane's legacy, too.
Years ago, these three chimpanzees – Zeze, Kabi, and Perrine – were rescued. They were then transferred to Tchimpounga, the Jane Goodall Institute's sanctuary.
