AUSTIN, Texas - A group of local pro-choice advocates spoke out against a controversial abortion bill this morning. The so-called heartbeat bill is set to be debated on the floor of the Texas House.

But Ontario has clearly stated that if you do not have an OHIP card at all, you are still eligible for the vaccine.
