Trudeau touts reproductive health projects on International Women's Day

In honor of International Women's Day, Canada's Justin Trudeau just announced a $650 million plan for sexual and reproductive health. "For far too many women and girls, unsafe abortions and lack of choices in reproductive health mean that they either are ... at risk of death or else simply cannot contribute and cannot achieve their potential," Trudeau said. The funding will go toward sex education, health services, and investment in family planning as well as contraceptives. The new investment is twice as much as the current funding on women's reproductive health. Trudeau also spoke about the woman's right to choose an abortion if she wishes to do so.
