A U.S. Supreme Court draft opinion revealing that a majority of justices are in favour of striking down the landmark Roe v. Wade abortion rights ruling is putting activists in Canada on high alert.

Meghan Doherty is the director of global policy and advocacy for Action Canada for Sexual Health and Rights. She also encourages Canadians to stay on their toes and continue to push to ensure that abortion rights in Canada are not taken away.

Still, several Canadian organizations are already voicing their concerns over U.S. residents being stripped of their rights. “We need to ensure that women and pregnant people are able to continue to access this essential health care,” Doctoroff wrote. “Restrictions on abortion care do not decrease the need for care; it makes it less sage.”When she first heard the news, Egan called it “devastating,” with those around her expressing rage and sadness at the idea of peeling back abortion rights in the U.S.

Elke Rubach is the founder of Rubach Wealth, a Toronto-based wealth management firm. Rubach said her company helps to educate women on financial literacy, giving them the tools they need to be financially independent, particularly those who may be single mothers or dependent on others for financial help.

Should mean nothing, how sad of a nation are we anyways?This issue wasn’t even on our political radar. All of a sudden the USA does something and our politicians see a gaslighting opportunity. Sad, we are better then this, I had hoped

Where is my body my choice for the vaccine? Pathetic!!!

It means nothing but the continued killing of innocent unborn children!

The USA is so unstable and regressing…it’s as if they are going back in time. USA is not a Word Leader any longer.

Canadians are still able to murder their babies at will, it may be slightly harder for some Americans

There are no abortion laws in Canada.

Nothing

Absolutely nothing. What does affect Canadians is the vaccine information release yesterday.

Well it’s not a Canadian law so nothing.

Nothing but political drama.

Nothing

People who say nothing don't realize or want to admit conservatives here do a monkey-see, monkey-do approach to their policies

The Roe vs Wade US Supreme Court documents was leaked by Canada ex-pm Stephen Harper. Stephen Harper is also the mastermind behind having this contentious document reopen, Just like what Stephen harper did in 2008, leaking Senator Obama Memo. Canada phucking it’s Neighbours.

Nothing. Next!

Means we own Twitter now and the internet with starlink no more lies and censorship change is on the way.

Watch out for Pierre petigrew

nothing but the media will push what will the conservatives do......even if they say they wont touch it

Fckn nothing

Jason Kenney goes down to the US for prayer meetings. He was an anti abortion activist. His long term boyfriend got married to a woman a few years ago. (The last sentence is besides the point obviously)

Except when it comes to an experimental vaccine 🤔

Lol so many men commenting here that this means nothing in Canada. Take a look at what’s already happening in Canada. Provinces that restrict access to abortion clinics. Half the Conservative party are pro-life. NeverVoteConservative

That leaking information from the Supreme Court is wrong and dangerous for democracy to work properly.

Busy abortion clinics 😼

nothing

This corruption, this immorality, this selfish unworthy behavior. It is not your body but the temple of the Holy Spirit. Put God above you in the name of Jesus Christ and behave according to His Will living a godly life. JustinTrudeau🇨🇦 CanadianPM CBCToronto

Zero. It's a smoke screen for the media NOT to talk about the Pizer Court ordered safety Data dump. That shows how deadly and how many people suffered life changing adverse events. But don't cover that ....

You know Canada is a different country?

It means nothing at all here in Canada. This isn't a debate issue. The liberal_party and JustinTrudeau will use it to deflect the attention away from their scandals and corruption.

This is literally all that the Canadian people want. Our body our choice. If you want 87 boosters knock yourself out. Don’t want a vaccine for something that isn’t worse then a flu? Good! Why the discrimination and the removal of civil liberties? Conservatives want choice.

Nothing

Nothing

That CTV has more fear mongering material for the 24 hour news cycle

Nothing

It means conservatives do not respect freedom the way they claim to respect freedom, and corporate journalists have a hard job rehabilitating their image.

Means its proof right wingerhave plan and that is put right wing jusged into supream courts do they help creat a leagle white chritian ruled country under chritian law likr the old days. Where not beliving in god got jailed

It literally means nothing why does the media always import this issue to Canada when it’s a non issue here stop trying to divide us even more

Nothing

Any big debate in the USA means smaller debates everywhere in the world, as always; but I think it's time we talk about the 8 months old foetus rights. The mother's life above the foetus' seems to be a medical evidence but getting an abortion just because you can on the 8 months?

Nothing. Don't take the bait from those that even pose this question.

It means nothing. The minions didn't care about my body my choice when it came to the 'vaccine '. I am glad they are pissed. I love it.

Nothing. Stop reporting stupid stuff.

Hopefully distract the left from complaining about their percieved lack of masking. ;)

They kind of did away with my body my choice when they forced vaccines

Nothing

Mostly it means a lot of uncomfortable questions for conservatives in Canada. They've always pandered to the fundamentalist and avoided taking a stance but I don't think that will cut it now.

It means we are even less likely to deal with substantive issues in Canada.

Who knows? The federal government spent the last year emptying their collective bladder over section 7 of the charter of rights and no one seemed to care. The very language upon which the decriminalization of abortion in Canada was based.

Maybe this “leak” is a distraction from the 90k+ pages of court ordered Pfizer documents released last night.

Justin Trudeau to make abortions mandatory, to demonstrate the moral superiority of Canadian politicians?

Conservatism is back in business. We run Twitter, SCOTUS, and soon we’ll have both houses. POTUS will be a lame duck. Trump 2024. Let’s go Brandon. weruntheplace

sweet phuck all.

Its a reminder that we ,women , are the 💩 hole citizen of this planet...

It means keep your nose 👃 out of USA politics.

Nothing at all. It is a domestic US matter. What a useless line of thought.

Never vote Conservative!

Here we go again! Whatever 💩 occurs in America is blows right at us

Distracting people from the Pfizer docs

Nothing since Canada won its independence from the US in 1997. 🙄

JustinTrudeau just tweeted.

Nothing

Look my naked photo ❤️😘

Nothing

Uhhhh. Nothing.

Still not a single article about Pfizers data release. They must have paid you off to no talk about it.. Does that make your organization an accessory to genocide?

NEWS FLASH ! Roe Vs Wade is an American Law someone needs to tell Trudeau and the Liberals that if the law is reversed it does not effect Canada ! Someone get them a map of Canada so they know where the borders are we are not part of the United States !

Abortion is murder

I find the timing of this leak questionable especially when you see how quickly Liberals jumped on it to discredit the conservatives.

'The most vulnerable will be affected' - written without any hint of irony.

it means NEVER VOTE CONSERVATIVE

nothing

Absolutely nothing. Canada is not America.

Not a damn thing because Canada is a separate country. CTV might wanna pick up an Atlas at some point and learn a couple things.

Literally nothing

MyBodyMyChoice Vaccines?

Nothing. The abortion debate is completely different in Canada compared to the USA. The only people in Canada screaming about it are mostly white Liberals trying to make it a wedge issue.

BREAKING NEWS, Canada is NOT America

It means it goes to the state not federal, where voters have an actual say. Everyone needs to chill the f out.

I found horrible how women defend as a right to kill babies, if you don’t want to get pregnant take precautions, take the pill, be responsible… killing a baby is not OK, and please, don’t start with “it is not a baby yet” we all know it is!

Absolutely nothing.

Nothing. This is Canada. Get smarter.

Nothing ! Canada is not a USA state !

Bodily autonomy either matters or it doesn’t. You don’t get to pick and choose based on you own opinion what others have to do with their own bodies.

It means nothing. Literally. Report on the malfeasance of the LPC/PMO. Let FoxNews, CNN and MSNBC duke this one out.

It means that in another country, the issue will be dealt with at the state level instead of the federal level. Federal jurisdiction was always unconstitutional. That's all it means.

Nothing

Nothing

It means every person needs to get out and vote for our rights before we are in the same position!!!

It means NOTHING. Stop manufacturing bullsh*t.

Her mind and body both chose to have sex. How is this abortion thing even a question? There is literally nothing else on the planet you can make a conscious decision to do and then say, wait nevermind and commit murder. This has always been about having control over men.

It means that CPC_HQ held an insurrection like the GOP did, and they're still capable of influencing our government like the GOP does theirs.

It means nothing to us. It was challenged and US Supreme Court and judges found abortion is not protected under their constitution therefore they can't enforce it at federal level. Each state will decide for themselves based on what their citizens agree on.

Can we lift the mandates now?

It means nothing, but as is typical of the Trudeau bought and paid for media you have to turn this against Conservatives somehow….

omg nothing. are you serious?! we have a completely different set of political institutions and legal history. This is such an absurd question. CANADA IS A REAL COUNTRY

It means nothing.

Nothing.

Means a whole bunch of people going from Montana and Wyoming into Canada to address their health concerns. It means the US is attempting to go back to 1953 when “everyone knew their place”. Old white men are the problem as they try to cling to power. It is enough

My body, my choice, Accept when it comes to Covid-vac…. 😵‍💫

It means nothing to us. Not a thing…

It means lefty politicians and their counterparts in the media will use it to drum up fear amongst the weak minded.

You be drinking light beer and driving on the left side before long

Possibly civil war? Something like this had to be deliberately released just before riot season when Dems have been beaten up in the polls & midterms coming. Always been a touchy subject. Dems will want more power & RNC will prevent it. States pick sides...civil war

What about vaccines mandates?

In Canada: -Abortion is legal up to 44 weeks. -Abortion is paid for by the taxpayer. If you're still protesting for more abortion rights, I can only assume you want to be paid to murder postnatal babies.

Nothing .. Canada is not a real country and Canada doesn't have a constitution, we will also ban infanticide

More babies will be born and available for adoption. Safely.

Dunno but did you know that the emergency act is still active! And they trying to pass Bill S-233 where if you not vax you will not get AnYTHING.

Absolutely nothing!

Hopefully a repeal of legal abortion here as well. But knowing the current government, they'll probably react by making abortion mandatory for all high school students or something like that.

20 States can abort a baby at “FETAL VIABILITY”. That means a baby surviving OUTSIDE THE WOMB. So in other words…In 20 States, a child can be born, OUTSIDE THE WOMB and survive. LIVE, LIFE. If the Mother doesn’t want it, they can literally just let it die. I call THAT murder.

Don’t give PM Blackface any ideas.

So sad that the Liberals of Canada have undermined the entire argument for abortion over the last two years. Justin gets to decide what women do with their bodies, if he thinks they need to get vaccinated they must do so. No choice.

We don't have that law this is Canada women's right to choose is in our Constitution.

Not sure what it has to do with Canada.

Nothing. It has 0 to do with Canada.

Absolutely nothing.

Nothing.

Nothing nada 😼

Nothing, the Liberals and the media will try to make it sound like something.

That we’ll talk about something other than COVID?

Nothing . Geezus . Get your own news

I was adopted at 3 months. My birth mother had just turned 18 and already had a child. I support a woman’s right to decide whether she will have an abortion or not.

It means that the US is even crazier then we thought. You have no say in a womans choice Politics. Stick that up your nose.

So are taxes are not only going to fund abortion-birth control of Canadian’s but now our taxes will fund foreigners coming for abortion-birth control? Ps this is only a distraction from the colossal tyrannical disaster that is JustinTrudeau

FOR VACCINES & ABORTIONS

Nothing

Nothing

Nothing. American law & policy should NOT be a base for our Canadian society. UnitedStates may loose it's democracy to authoritarianism we should not slip with it. Health of OUR people is OUR business,girls & women deserve the right to feel safe from this back sliding opinion.

SFA

Simply nothing. We can however insult our neighbors by critiquing their democratic processes.

Nothing, the conservatives can shove it they think they’re going to do the same to us.

Nothing! Stop with the fear mongering & virtue signaling BS!

It means nothing incase you forgot we are Canada there is another County to the south of us thats call America. employees are like

It means nothing. Not our Supreme Court, not our constitution, not our laws. Canada is more progressive generally speaking. Stop with the click baiting - but why would you dividing people gets you more $$$

'What does a law of a foreign country with a scope no greater than that country mean for Canada?' Cool article, bro. this is why no one likes journalists.

It means nothing

Is the answer “nothing”?

This

F all

Absolutely Nothing! I get so tired of this shit.

Absolutely nothing

What is with these days with weird US-based right wing comments?

It means nothing stop trying to import americas problems

It means conservatives will make a play to oppress women if given the federal government.

Nothing….it’s American Politics! It is the wedge issue used by liberals against conservatives however. It would be disgusting for anyone to politically weaponize this again!

More women coming to Canada for access to reproductive healthcare.

We need female sex robots: now.

Try this... look up 'the negro project' and see what you find.... It's called planned parenthood now...

This is the world conservatives want. Vote accordingly.

Mass hysertia and division

Nothing.

It means, much needed hospital donations from our wealthy female neighbors

So “ my body my choice “ was about a choice in a medical procedure,Mandatory vaccinations violates that choice so it only mean killing little innocents?

That Canada doesn't need to copy everything US does 🙄🙄🙄

When did US law become applicable in Canada? How much are the liberals paying CTV to try and drum up the abortion debate in Canada again?

Nothing we’re not under American law in any way

I'll agree with it simply due to the Hypocrisy around 'Drugs' they tout as 'Vaccines' they FORCE on us but are faulty and harmful to many

Nothing.

Please, do not compare Canada with those americans with their mental illness.

Abortion is committing murder to a fetus alive in the uterus (womb). Thou Shalt Not Kill (murder ). Unborn fetus alive in the uterus cannot speak . Chop doctors have no right to influence abortion with women . Young people need to take better responsibility with sex .

It means a woman with an unvaccinated uterus can’t get on an airplane in Canada.

I'm sure trudeau will be giving his speech any time about being the champion on women's right to choose except when it comes to taking a vaccine in which case they are extremists and don't follow science

The science is different on different sides of the border, ctv. Didn't you know that?

Nothing

conservative party asked mps not to comment lol what a fucking joke

Nothing, it wasn’t our Supreme Court.

Nada

What about the baby’s body?

Absolutely nothing. Maybe Abortion tourism.

Nothing, American laws are not Canadian laws.. Roe vs Wade doesn't apply in Canada..

Nothing.. Nothing at all... But feel free to fear monger msm! Canada has no legal limits on abortions. You can have an abortion 9 months in and it's totally fine in Canada. We are radically pro abortion

It means the Libs will once again, shamelessly,use abortion as a wedge issue and do everything they can to keep it in the spotlight bc it serves them well politically.Meanwhile the Cons will, once again like the last 30 years, state that they won’t re-open debate!!

It means nothing. We are a different country
