I can't imagine the fear and anger you are feeling right now," Trudeau said in a social media post. WATCH | 'A difficult day,' Trudeau says: 'Today is a difficult day,' Trudeau says after U.S. court decision overturning Roe v. Wade Duration 1:23 Prime Minister Justin Trudeau weighs in on the U.S. Supreme Court's decision to overturn decades-old jurisprudence on abortion. The majority opinion, written by Samuel Alito, a Republican nominee, claims the 1973 Roe decision was constitutionally dubious and "egregiously wrong from the start" because its reasoning was "exceptionally weak." In a social media post, Charest said he was "disturbed" that Roe v. Wade has been overturned. That means, as of today's decision, abortion is illegal or restricted in 13 states with other states expected to follow through with similar bans in the coming weeks.
