Trudeau says he’ll protect woman’s right to choose, dodges question on free contraceptive medication
During Wednesday’s session of question period in the House of Commons, NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh grilled Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on making abortion and contraceptives more accessible to Canadians amid the leaked Roe v. Wade draft decision in the U.S. that would overturn abortion rights. Singh asked whether Trudeau would provide free contraceptive medication to Canadians, a question that the prime minister dodged, but reiterated steps his government has taken to protect reproductive rights.
