<ul class="summary-list"><li>A Canadian minister said Americans could get abortions in <keyword id="6356687" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="canada" source="Orion">Canada</keyword> if Roe v. Wade were overturned.</li><li>A separate official said Americans could already do so but might need to pay out of pocket.</li></ul>A Canadian minister says that if <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/roe-wade-abortion-live-updates-2022-5">Roe v. Wade were to be overturned</a> by the Supreme Court, Americans would still be able to get abortions across the border.In an <a href="https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/canada-provide-abortion-access-american-women-1.6440238">interview with the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation</a> on Tuesday, Karina Gould, the Canadian minister of families, children, and social development, said access to abortions would continue to be available in her country to US citizens."I don't see why we would not," Gould said, per the outlet. "If they, people, come here and need access, certainly, you know, that's a service that would be provided."Gould's comments came following the <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/supreme-court-confirms-authenticity-draft-opinion-gutting-roe-v-wade-2022-5" target="_blank" rel="noopener">leak of the Supreme Court's draft majority opinion on a Mississippi abortion case</a>.The document, written by Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito, called the court's Roe v. Wade decision "egregiously wrong from the start" and said it was "time to heed the Constitution" and "return the issue of <keyword id="11901426" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="abortion" source="Orion">abortion</keyword> to the people's elected representatives."The court has described the draft as authentic but not final. If Roe v. Wade were to be overturned, with access to abortions in the US no longer constitutionally protected, <a href="https://www.insider.com/what-happens-if-roe-v-wade-is-overturned-2022-5" target="_blank" rel="noopener">abortion would most likely become immediately illegal in several states</a>. Thirteen states have <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2022/us/abortion-bans-restrictons-roe-v-wade.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">"trigger" laws</a> meant to swiftly outlaw abortion should the case be overturned.Gould also told CBC that a reversal of Roe v. Wade might also hurt Canadians seeking the procedure in the US."One of the concerning factors here is that there are many Canadian women who maybe don't live near a major city in Canada but will often access these services in the United States," she said.A representative for Gould told CBC <keyword id="11893589" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="news" source="Orion">News</keyword> that Americans could already obtain abortions in Canada but that those lacking Canadian health insurance would need to pay for them out of pocket or via their private insurance.Also Tuesday, Canadian Prime Minister <keyword id="11944708" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="justin-trudeau" source="Orion">Justin Trudeau</keyword> tweeted supporting abortion rights."The right to choose is a woman's right and a woman's right alone. Every woman in Canada has a right to a safe and legal abortion," Trudeau <a href="https://twitter.com/JustinTrudeau/status/1521535603057307655" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrote,</a> without explicitly referring to the SCOTUS document leak. "We'll never back down from protecting and promoting women's rights in Canada and around the world."On Wednesday, Trudeau <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_F9o2cUxfuI" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told reporters</a> that his government was looking at the country's legal framework to ensure that women's rights are protected "not just under this government, but under any future government."
