The Trudeau government wants it known that Canada is open to any Americans who may need to travel north to access an abortion
While the offers from Trudeau's government and providers are sincere, the reality is that access in Canada is complicated and "wait lists are through the roof."
“If an American wanted a medical procedure, they could get one, they would just have to pay for it out of pocket,” Minister of Families, Children and Social Development Minister Karina Gould told reporters Wednesday on her way into a Liberal caucus meeting. “There’s no reason why we would turn anyone away to receive that procedure here.
In Canada’s big cities, where services are easier to find, landing an appointment — and quickly — is not always as simple. “That could impact everyone up here looking for services as well, in terms of waiting times and being able to get in,” Arthur said this week. “It’s a very time-sensitive procedure, and once you’ve decided to have an abortion, staying pregnant is very psychologically taxing.”
