Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says no government can tell a woman what to do with her body, even after his government enforced vaccine mandates for nearly a year, and as Canada remains the only developed country with a vaccine mandate for international travel. .His comments came in response to a decision from the US Supreme Court today to overturn Roe v. Wade, ending 50 years of federal abortion rights. Nearly half the states are expected to ban or severely restrict abortion now that the highly anticipated decision has been released. .READ MORE: UPDATED: US Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade.“No government, politician, or man should tell a woman what she can and cannot do with her body,” Trudeau said in a post to Twitter. “I want women in Canada to know that we will always stand up for your right to choose.”.The Trudeau government mandated the COVID-19 vaccines in every area of federal jurisdiction, including federal workplaces and cross-border travel.
