Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has taken to Twitter to proclaim his government's position on the abortion debate in the light of the US Supreme Court's leaked draft decision to overturn the Roe versus Wade right to abortion..The case set a precedent in the US and enshrined a woman's right to determine the fate of her pregnancy.."The right to choose is a woman’s right and a woman’s right, alone. Every woman in Canada has a right to a safe and legal abortion. We’ll never back down from protecting and promoting women’s rights in Canada and around the world." Trudeau's tweet said..US Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts confirmed the authenticity of the leaked draft opinion and indicated the court would reverse the Roe versus Wade 1973 precedent, announcing today an investigation will be launched into the source of the "betrayal.".A draft legal opinion leaked to the news site, Politico, reveals five Republican-nominated judges, who form a majority of the court's nine judges, agree on the controversial abortion issue. Their consensus would be enough to change the law, though their decision is not final until the ruling is officially published..As it stands currently, abortion access in Canada is a patchwork..While the Supreme Court of Canada struck down the federal law criminalizing abortion in 1988 as unconstitutional, no government has since put in place legislation to replace it..Numerous Twitter users are calling out Trudeau's 'right to choose' message as it pertains to the vaccine mandates.."Right to choose to have an abortion. But no right to choose if you want the vaccine or not," said Em.."That is terrific. Now, does every woman also have the right to choose if she gets vaccinated?" asked Christina B..More than half of all US states have some kind of abortion ban law likely to take effect if Roe v Wade is overturned by the United States Supreme Court. .Amanda Brown is a reporter with the Western Standard.abrown@westernstandard.news.Twitter: @WS_JournoAmanda
