Justin Trudeau's Views On Abortion Are Raising The Ire Of The U.S. Right Wing

The Canadian Press, 15 Jan, 2018 01:24 PM

WASHINGTON — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's views on abortion are raising the ire of the U.S. right wing.

His explanation for why he's restricting federal summer job grants for pro-life organizations has drawn an insult from a former Trump White House staffer and critical coverage in some conservative media, including the president's favourite morning TV show.

The prime minister's explanation that pro-life opinions were out of line with Canadian society prompted former Trump aide Sebastian Gorka to tweet that Trudeau is "reprehensible"

On the Fox News morning show, which Trump watches regularly, one host called Trudeau's remarks intolerant and an effort to silence pro-lifers.

The organizer of a pro-life march invited Trudeau to come to her event and said he would realize he's the one out of touch.

This is the third controversy that has landed Trudeau on the radar of the American right — following his praise of the late Fidel Castro, and his multimillion-dollar legal settlement with Omar Khadr.
