Leaders of U.S. allies horrified by Dobbs ruling

United Kingdom
“Look, I’ll be absolutely clear with everybody. This is not our court,” U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson said Friday, according to the Associated Press. “It’s another jurisdiction. But clearly, it has massive impacts on people’s thinking around the world. It’s a very important decision.”

“I’ve got to tell you, I think it’s a big step backwards,” he added. “I’ve always believed in a woman’s right to choose and I stick to that view and that’s why the UK has the laws that it does and actually, if you look, we recently took steps to make sure that those laws were enforced throughout the whole of the U.K.”

Scotland
“One of the darkest days for women’s rights in my lifetime,” First Minister of Scotland Nicola Sturgeon said Friday. “Obviously the immediate consequences will be suffered by women in the US – but this will embolden anti-abortion & anti-women forces in other countries too. Solidarity doesn’t feel enough right now – but it is necessary.”

Canada
“The news coming out of the United States is horrific. My heart goes out to the millions of American women who are now set to lose their legal right to an abortion,” Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said. “I can’t imagine the fear and anger you are feeling right now.”
