The Canadian government has declared that abortion access will still be available, deeming it an essential service.
As if we needed another stroke in the tally mark of which country you’d rather live in, America vs. Canada, the Canadian government has declared that abortion access will still be available, deeming it an essential service. In contrast, here in the U.S., Texas and Ohio lawmakers wasted no time in blocking access to abortion services during this pandemic.
ADVERTISEMENT According to CNN, the ruling judges in Alabama and Ohio argued that by barring access to abortion, women were left with an “undue burden.” CTV contacted officials in each territory and providence to verify that women in need of treatment would still be able to have these procedures done and was met with a resounding confirmation from all that there weren’t any plans to bar abortion access to those who requested it, stating that this was in fact an essential medical procedure.
With any luck the United States will follow the lead of its neighbors up north and realize that reproductive rights are in fact essential, perhaps now more than ever. As of March 31st, Canada has 7,448 confirmed cases of coronavirus. The U.S. reached a grim milestone, surpassing every other nation to have the highest count of cases. As of March 30th, there are 140,904 known cases, according to the CDC, and have been 2,405 deaths.
