Contributing sentiments towards policy:

51% :How abortion laws in the U.S. compare with those in other countriesU.S. citizens in Canada are already able to access abortion services, either through Canada's health insurance programs or, if they do not qualify, by buying private insurance or paying out-of-pocket.
44% : "Pro-life advocates in Canada are now encouraged to work even harder," Jeff Gunnarson, president of the antiabortion group Campaign Life Coalition in Canada, said Tuesday in a statement.
42% : The U.S. Supreme Court could be poised to overturn the 1973 landmark decision legalizing abortion in the United States, according to a leaked draft opinion obtained by Politico, the authenticity of which the court has confirmed.
38% : Michigan, Wisconsin, Idaho, Montana and North Dakota, which all border Canada, are among the 26 U.S. states that are either certain or likely to ban abortion if Roe is overturned.
35% : Abortion has been legal across Canada since 1988, when the country's highest court struck down a law criminalizing it.
34% : Some in Canada, however, found fault with Trudeau's statements because Canadian law has not in fact enshrined a legal right to abortion; rather, the courts have banned the federal or provincial governments from criminalizing it, CBC reported.
