“Canada is a country where we stand up for women’s rights,” Justin Trudeau said. “And I will not allow others to limit those rights.”

The Liberals are going on the offensive over this issue, by committing to “no longer provide charity status to anti-abortion organizations (for example, Crisis Pregnancy Centres).” Both measures could provoke a negative reaction from pro-life advocates – and put pressure on the Conservatives to oppose the policy. With the recent rollback of abortion rights in United States fresh in the minds of many, the next Liberal campaign will hope this issue motivates women voters as it has in the past.

An crowd of hundreds carried signs and chanted “My body, my choice” at the steps of the Supreme Court as protesters grappled with news that the landmark Roe v. Wade decision was struck down.

Similar protests took over streets in other cities, including Los Angeles, Chicago, Philadelphia, Denver, San Francisco, Portland, Seattle and New York City.

Amid the protests included some anti-abortion activists where sparring occurred between protesters.

Abortion Protests Erupt in the USA

Businesses/buildings are boarding up in downtown Washington DC, following landmark Supreme Court decision to overrule Roe V Wade – which legalized abortion nationwide in 1973.

 

Trudeau said “Today’s a difficult day. The judgment coming out of the United States is an attack on women’s freedom. And quite frankly, it’s an attack on everyone’s freedoms and rights.”

If Canadians are unable to get a passport to go on their trip, they lose their money.

Blanchet said “There’s nothing there’s something terrible when in a free and democratic country, people are lined up with the new trip tickets and numbers”
