Trudeau condemns 'horrific' U.S. court decision overturning Roe v. Wade

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau weighed in Friday on the U.S. Supreme Court's decision to overturn decades-old jurisprudence on abortion, calling what's unfolding south of the border a "horrific" development that threatens the right of women to choose what to do with their own bodies.

"My heart goes out to the millions of American women who are now set to lose their legal right to an abortion. I can't imagine the fear and anger you are feeling right now," Trudeau said in a social media post.

Trudeau said "no government, politician, or man" should force a woman to carry out a pregnancy, reiterating that, under his Liberal government, "women in Canada know that we will always stand up for your right to choose."

3. I have to say I am very grateful to live here...

especially given the last two decisions of SCOTUS, guns and the right to privacy, but am also hyper-aware that what is happening in the US could also happen here with a rabid right PM and party who appoint the Canadian Supreme Court justices.
