Canada has now announced they will make birth control free for all women. Meanwhile in 2022 they killed 13 500 people with medically assisted death (MAiD). Almost like they are pushing a depopulation agenda...?

Our government's national pharmacare plan starts with free contraceptives for Canadian women. #Budget2024 is about fairness for everyone. That includes 9 million women across the country getting access to the contraception and reproductive autonomy they deserve. https://t.co/zwZ9nc6CB7
We shouldn't be placated by the technicality that the Trump-dominated Supreme Court seems likely to use to dispense with a challenge to the right of access to abortion pills. The threat to abortion rights remains alive and strong, thanks to Trump. https://t.co/36Za3fQONA

The Supreme Court will consider whether state abortion bans trump long-standing, national protections for the right to emergency care. It's part of a broader strategy to ban abortion nationwide. We should ALL be free to make our own decisions about our bodies & futures. https://t.co/dynJFK0bB1
The far-right is pushing the Supreme Court to allow states to ban life-saving abortions even when it's necessary to stabilize a woman in a medical emergency. It's outrageous, and I'm joining my colleagues on an amicus brief urging the Court to protect emergency care.
In @nytopinion The Supreme Court seems ready to dismiss a lawsuit that would limit access to a common abortion drug. “But that should come as small comfort to anyone concerned for the future of reproductive freedom in America,” the editorial board writes. https://t.co/poMeFoREtO
The U.S. Supreme Court seemed inclined to preserve Americans' access to medication abortion at recent arguments in a case challenging the FDA's authority. Here's a look at how the justices' ruling could affect the workplace. https://t.co/Q77cbmGmHN
When Roe v. Wade was overturned, we knew extreme Republicans were just getting started in their war on reproductive rights. Since then, they’ve attacked contraception, mifepristone and IVF while trying to pass a national abortion ban. @HouseDemocrats are determined to stop them.
Women should have the freedom to make decisions about their own body.

The right to an abortion is on the ballot. Women’s health care is on the ballot. We have to keep right-wing extremists from interfering with the decisions of doctors and patients. https://t.co/n5WBNzGr7b
