Justin Trudeau says the decision by America’s high court to overturn its 50-year-old Roe v. Wade ruling is ”horrific.”
Speaking on the sidelines of the Commonwealth summit in Rwanda, the prime minister promises to defend abortion rights in Canada and around the world following what he calls a ”devastating setback.”
Trudeau says no government, politician or man should tell a woman what she can and cannot do with her body.
President Joe Biden also condemns the decision ”wrong, extreme and out of touch.”
He’s urging voters to make this a defining issue in the November mid-term elections.
Biden’s appealing for those on both sides of the debate to demonstrate peacefully.
About half the states are expected to ban abortion.
