(TORONTO) -- Sid Ryan, President of the Ontario Federation of Labour, will participate in today’s event to demonstrate the labour movement’s disgust at attempts to overturn women’s access to abortion in Canada and its refusal to include safe abortions in its international maternal health initiatives.

“Stephen Harper is condemning women all over the globe to die because of the Conservative government policy of restricting abortion access in developing countries,” says Michelle Robidoux of the Ontario Coalition for Abortion Clinics.

“The labour movement was at the forefront of securing women’s right to choose. The Harper government is also working diligently to remove access for Canadian women. This will now become a major issue for the G-20. We’ll do whatever it takes,” says Sid Ryan.
