Hey, I think if you make a heading for your references it would make it a bit less confusing as to where the statistics & relevancy end, and where your sources begin.

Abortion Services by Province/Territory Table

Great job! This article is really well done and well thought out!

One piece of feedback I'd give though is regarding your Abortion Services by Province/Territory table. The title claims it is by province or territory and the table has some columns with multiple provinces listed. For example, "AB/SK/MN", "NB/NL/NS/PE", and "YT/NT/NU". Under each of these columns, there is a single number. As a result, this makes me think as a reader that each of these provinces have that many abortion facilities (There are 8 in Alberta, 8 in Saskatchewan, and 8 in Manitoba). However, taking a look at the source you used, that is not the case. In the "Abortion access grim in English Canada" article, it says that there is "8 among Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba". The 8 is cumulative, not individual. I think this should be clarified because it only further supports the point before about how the amount of facilities greatly varies based on province. The gap between Quebec and Alberta is so much more now. I only noticed this when you mentioned in the Rural Access section that Prince Edwards Island doesn't have any facilities but the table made it seem as though it did.

Also, the acronym for Manitoba is MB, not MN.

Other than that, I think your article is really well put together and easy to read!
