[2/3] This generation will be the nation's first in almost 50 years to come of age without a constitutionally protected right to abortion, turning back the clock to a time of limited rights & opportunities that no young person in America today has known.

YWCA Canada stands in solidarity with YWCA USA, the people of the United States, and pro-choice advocates everywhere amid the overturning of Roe v. Wade and its devastating erosion of abortion rights. Read our full statement: bit.ly/3xUZTM6 #prochoice #RoeVsWade

Safe abortion access is an issue of equity. As pro-choice organizations, the YWCAs of Alberta stand united in our deep concern and disappointment around the US Supreme Court decision to overturn the Roe vs. Wade legislation.

Have a Safe and Happy Pride. From the YWCA Lethbridge and District Family!
