Abortion Tourism: Canadian Minister Says American Women Can Come to Canada For Abortions

By Chris Tomlinson 5 May 2022

Canadian Families Minister Karina Gould has claimed that Americans could travel to Canada to seek abortions if the U.S. supreme court returns abortion laws to the states by overturning Roe v. Wade.

Ironically titled Families Minister Gould stated during a television interview that American women seeking abortions would be able to travel to Canada to do so if their states banned the practice.

“If they, people, come here and need access, certainly, you know, that’s a service that would be provided,” Minister Gould said during an interview with broadcaster CBC and the network’s Power and Politics programme earlier this week.

Under Canadian law, abortions are legal during all nine months of a pregnancy but in practice, abortion is regulated by each province, with few late-term abortions being sanctioned unless a medical need can be proven.

Since the apparently leaked Supreme Court (SCOTUS) draft opinion was published earlier this week which suggested that the court would be overturning Roe V. Wade, which would allow states to determine the legality of abortion on their own, Canadian politicians across the spectrum have come out in favour of abortion.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau took to Twitter stating, “The right to choose is a woman’s right and a woman’s right alone,” and added, “Every woman in Canada has a right to a safe and legal abortion. We’ll never back down from protecting and promoting women’s rights in Canada and around the world.”

The interim leader of the Canadian Conservative Party (CPC) Candice Bergen also assured voters that her party had no intention of raising the issue of abortion or even debating it.

“Access to abortion was not restricted under Prime Minister Stephen Harper, and the Conservative Party will not introduce legislation or reopen the abortion debate,” Bergen said in a statement.

Canada is not the first country to offer “abortion tourism” to women in countries with restrictive laws on abortion.

In 2020, members of Sweden’s Green Party proposed that Swedish taxpayers should subsidize abortions for Polish women visiting the country for the procedure after a Polish court struck down a law against the abortion of children with disabilities.

Sweden’s former Minister for Gender Equality, Åsa Lindhagen had previously praised the idea of “abortion tourism” on social media as well.

Jason Miller Ex-Trump staffer accused of slipping abortion pill into girlfriend’s smoothie

A former Trump campaign spokesperson was accused of slipping an abortion pill into his pregnant girlfriend’s smoothie — sending her to the hospital and nearly causing her to go into a coma, according to court documents.

Jason Miller— who served on President Trump’s 2016 campaign and transition team — announced he was quitting his role as CNN political commentator Saturday to “focus on clearing [his] name” and fighting the accusations detailed in recent court documents.

The explosive court filings, first reported by Splinter News, allege that prior to Miller’s high-profile extramarital relationship with A.J. Delgado — another Trump campaign staffer — he had an affair with an unnamed woman he met at Rachel’s Gentleman’s Club, an Orlando strip club.

Trump staffer allegedly entangled in sex scandal

When the dancer found out she was pregnant, Miller allegedly dosed her drink with an abortion pill, without her knowledge, according to the court documents.

The pill caused the woman to wind up in the emergency room “bleeding heavily and nearly went into a coma,” the documents state. She was hospitalized for two days with “the abortion pill possibly reacting with potential street drugs in her system” at the time she drank the smoothie, according to the documents.

When the alleged relationship began in 2012 Miller was working for the prominent Republican ad firm Jamestown Associates.

The court documents were filed Sept. 14 in Miami-Dade Circuit Court as part of an ongoing custody battle between Miller and Delgado. With the allegations entered into court record, Delgado asked for Miller to undergo psychological evaluation, saying she fears for their son’s safety.

“I’m concerned for my safety (more importantly, my son’s) with Miller and afraid of his reaction if I add comment,” she said to Splinter News.

Delgado conceived a son during an affair that began when she and married Miller were both working on the 2016 campaign. At the time, Miller’s wife was also pregnant with their second daughter.

In December of that year, President-elect Trump announced that he would be appointing Miller as his communications director, but Miller backed out two days later, saying he wanted to spend more time with his family.

In a series of tweets Saturday, Miller decried the filing as false, calling it part of Delgado’s “continuous attempts to smear me.” He accused Delgado of having mental and emotional issues and promised to clear his name and hold Delgado and Splinter accountable.
