Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has announced that American citizens will still be able to cross the border for abortion services even after the Supreme Court ruling. According to the Huff Post, Trudeau reiterated that people would be able to cross regardless of where they actually live in the U.S and obtain services privately and securely.
“We know that this is an extremely, not just scary, but disheartening time for so many women,” Trudeau said at a news conference in Kigali, Rwanda, at the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting.
“Women for generations have fought for more rights in the United States, (only) to see this setback, to worry as well about how this can be expanded to more rights be taken away in the United States,” he said.
“This is a reminder of how we need to be unequivocal in our defense of people’s rights, in not taking anything for granted, in staying vigilant, and always standing up for woman’s rights, for LBGT rights, for the rights of people who are disenfranchised and marginalized,” he added.
