Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said on Wednesday he wanted to ensure that a woman’s right to terminate a pregnancy cannot be restricted in the future.

Trudeau told reporters that the government will ensure women’s rights are protected in Canada and that it is studying how to maintain them in the years to come.

Canada is looking for ways to protect that right while in the United States, the Supreme Court could limit or strike down access to abortion next month.

Canadian Ministers of Health, Jean-Yves Duclos, and Women and Gender Equality, Marci Ien, reported on Wednesday that the Government will improve access to pregnancy termination services across the country and that it will allocate 3.5 million Canadian dollars (2.7 million US dollars) to facilitate the medical procedure.

This figure is in addition to the millions of dollars that the Canadian Ministry of Health has granted in recent months to other programs that improve access to abortion.

Duclos pointed out that the possible decision of the Supreme Court of the United States on abortion shows that it is necessary to continue to defend the reproductive rights of women.

Although abortion is decriminalized in Canada, and since 1988 women can terminate a pregnancy at any time, there is no legislation in this regard and access to services is very unequal to the point that in some regions is impossible to perform the intervention.

For her part, Ien reaffirmed the Trudeau government’s commitment to facilitate the arrival in Canada of American women who want to terminate their pregnancies in the neighboring country if the Supreme Court revokes the protection against abortion.

Shortly before Duclos and Ien’s announcement, leaders of the Coalition for Life (CCV), one of Canada’s leading organizations opposing women’s right to decide, held a press conference outside the Supreme Court of Canada, before a -Rally against abortion tomorrow in Ottawa.

At the conference, CCV director Jack Fonseca accused Trudeau of being an “extremist abortionist” and said the leaked draft US Supreme Court decision a little over a week was worrying.
