Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has called the 1973 US Supreme Court decision to strike down abortion protections “horrific”.
Following the release of the U.S. Supreme Court ruling that overturned the landmark “Roe v. Wade” decision from nearly 50 years ago, Trudeau said on Twitter that “news from the U.S. are awful”.
Trudeau expressed his support for the millions of women who have lost the right to terminate their pregnancies. “I can’t even imagine the fear and anger they are feeling right now,” he said.
The Canadian politician added that neither governments nor politicians should determine the will of women.
“No government, politician or man should tell a woman what she can or cannot do with her body,” said Trudeau, who sent Canadian women a message of comfort: “Let them know we will stand up for always their right to decide,” he said. said. .
Although abortion is legal in Canada, since the Supreme Court of Canada struck down the current legislation in 1988, no law regulates the termination of pregnancy.
In May, when the draft decision released today by the United States Supreme Court on “Roe v. Wade” was leaked, Trudeau said he would consider introducing a bill to ensure the right to abortion in Canada.
