Trudeau Jabs Trump Over Women’s Rights [VIDEO]

The CBC reports:

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Tuesday that Kamala Harris’s loss in the U.S. presidential election was a setback for women’s progress — and cited several recent incidents that he said suggest women’s rights are under attack by “regressive” and “reactionary” political forces.

In an address to an Ottawa gala for Equal Voice, Trudeau said politicians who are hostile to women’s rights — particularly a woman’s right to choose abortion — are “winning too often, unfortunately.” He said feminists like himself have to be “lucid” about the challenges ahead.

“We were supposed to be on a steady, if difficult, march towards progress. And yet, just a few weeks ago, the United States voted for a second time to not elect its first woman president,” Trudeau said, adding that “women’s rights and women’s progress” are “under attack.” The comments could be interpreted as a thinly veiled swipe Trump. In his first term, Trump appointed Supreme Court justices who were intent on overturning abortion jurisprudence
