Canada to invest in making abortion more accessible nationwide, and beyond borders
To mark International Safe Abortion Day, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau released a statement announcing that the federal government will invest more money in removing barriers to abortion services across Canada.
Acknowledging the work of activists and health care providers to maintain the safe, legal status of abortion services since they were fully legalized by the Supreme Court in 1988, Trudeau also noted that his government would “never put a woman’s right to choose up for debate.”
“To ensure women and girls, particularly from marginalized communities and people in remote and rural communities, have access to the reproductive health care they need and deserve, we are investing to remove barriers and make abortion more accessible from coast to coast to coast.
“With women’s rights under attack around the world, we know that banning abortion does not prevent abortions, it just makes them less safe. With our commitments to global health funding, we will continue to work toward a world where every woman can exercise her fundamental right to make her own reproductive health care choices.”
In Canada, abortions have been a safe and legal part of health care since 1988. We’ll make sure that continues to be the case. We’ll never put your right to choose up for debate – and we’ll keep working to remove barriers and make abortion more accessible. https://t.co/OTvfVvUjOk— Justin Trudeau (@JustinTrudeau) September 28, 2023
