In the aftermath of the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, Canadian abortion advocates and activists have not stopped worrying about what's next.
"It's like a horror show. We're all going through the shock and trying to just grapple with what the consequences will be," said Joyce Arthur, Executive Director of the Abortion Rights Coalition of Canada.
Arthur, whose work focuses on protecting legal abortion rights and access to services, says abortion clinics haven't started booking appointments yet from Americans but have received increased inquiries about if they'd have the capacity to make room for them.
Kemlin Nembhard, executive director of the Women's Health Clinic in Winnipeg, told the National Post they won't be turning people away, "but as a country that has 10 per cent of the population of what the U.S. has, it's unrealistic to think we could fulfill the needs of what could potentially be flowing north."
Although Canada decriminalized abortion in 1988, Arthur said there's still work that needs to be done before extending our services across the border.
"We still have these access issues and an abortion stigma," She said. "So, we really feel strongly that we need to fix that first and make sure that Canadians are helped before we can really help any number of Americans coming up."

You must be vaxxed, because someone could die, but they’ll perform an abortion and someone will die.
