Myth: pap smears are being refused in New Brunswick for religious reasons

I got an email today concerning a myth that is still circulating.

Some time ago, pedgehog of Anti-Choice is Anti-Awesome wrote an essay and it was read and picked up Rheality Check in the US, a feminist, pro-abortion blog.

Rheality Check published an essay based on Pedgehog's essay. But the feminists concluded for RC's blogpost that pap smears were being refused for religious reasons.

But pedgehog says it is all a misunderstanding.

So no, it's not true that pap smears are being refused for religious reasons. It's an unfounded assertion.
