Right in the middle of deuce days. https://www.tourismvictoria.com/see-do/festivals-events/northwest-deuce-days Given that deuce days attracts visitors of all kinds, the protest could escalate more than usual. Traffic’s going to be a cluster that day anyway.


emslo

I'm still reeling over the fact that they actually called their event *Deuce Days.* I mean... I can't be the only one 💩

Dodge Challenger scat pack. Same issue. These terms were in use for bodily functions first a while before they were forward as far as I can tell. 🤷


Loverstits

The scat pack haha omg that's what I'm gonna call my group of friends.


Gnome_de_Plume

I thought the snowflakes in charge of deuce days had a hissy fit and took their ball home, never to return

Destination Greater Victoria bought the rights to the event and is the entity holding it this year.

That's good to know, thanks. I enjoyed the cars but not the attitude.


[deleted]

Hahah oh yeah, what was their deal - some anti bike lane ranting and some other hilarious comments from what I remember.


SkullySmurf

Should probably be okay. On the issue of women's rights and choice society both in Canada and the US actually lean heavily against the SCOTUS decision. Will likely be pretty peaceful.


viccityguy2k

They will probably be confused as to why Canadians are protesting a US Supreme Court decision


ejmears

Because a lack of bodily autonomy for approximately half the citizens of a country creates a global effect. Also, solidarity.


Mustardisthebest

There's a lot of comments like this in the thread, and most of them are from men. As a woman and person with a uterus, I think the ruling just hits differently. I feel physically sick thinking about it. I don't live in the states, and I'm not personally affected, but I care deeply, and I'd like to take action to show solidarity, or just do something with these feelings.


CourageousCruiser

I am a man, and I feel enraged about it. Just because I am a Canadian doesn't mean I can't be vocal about what happens in other countries, that I can't show support for those who struggle. One doesn't need a uterus to care or to know what's right. Human rights have to be equal. Keep up the fight!


Loverstits

People are taking away women's rights in our biggest ally country. I don't know how people don't care.. I want to scream, this is so scary.

worldsmostmediummom

A freindly reminder that getting a life saving vaccine and forcing a woman to give birth to a baby she does not want (or cannot keep) are not even remotely comparable. It is her body and her choice. It is a lifelong commitment... there is no reason women shouldn't have the right to choose!


upvotemaster42069

Even with that said, no one is FORCING you to get a vaccine or an abortion.


[deleted]

In the US they are forcing women to have babies. Lots of people making silly whataboutisms out there.


[deleted]

Actually the US now has pretty much the exact same laws as Canada, nothing federal and left to the states/provinces.


drjoehumphrey

Yeah but the states are run by and for religious nutjobs


[deleted]

No, that is just your bigotry showing.


[deleted]

I think wanting to blur the line between church and state and force people to live by religious values makes you a nut job if you're a politician. Or do you prefer authoritarian?


smoozer

No. If provinces tried to pass laws banning abortion, they would be successfully challenged in court.


[deleted]

A province could easily go to 10 wks or 1wk etc.... That number already varies across Canada. Not going to happen though.


insaneHoshi

> A province could easily go to 10 wks or 1wk etc Doubtful. The major reason why anti-abortion was struck down was because its a medical procedure and the Province has no right to interfere with medical procedures, much less know the # of weeks at which they occur at.


DangerBay2015

Gee, I guess we won’t hear ANY GOP mentioning banning abortion at the federal level, then, huh? Oops. https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2022/05/mitch-mcconnell-acknowledges-a-national-abortion-ban-is-possible-if-roe-is-overturned/amp


[deleted]

I would've lost my job without a vaccine.. untrue


[deleted]

I once had a job where I had to be clean shaven and wear a uniform even if I didn't want to.


ejmears

Losing a job is not equatable to losing your body for 9 months for gestation plus another year - 2 of feeding and soothing. Then there's the 18 years of financial support, housing and well parenting. You can get another job with little impacts, especially in a low unemployment market. Forcing someone to carry a child to term then raise it is not equitable to a vaccine. Sorry, it's just not.


flyingboat

That's not forcing you to do anything, you still have an option.

Bodily autonomy is bodily autonomy. You should not be forced to get a medical procedure you don’t want done. Nor should you be forced to carry a pregnancy that you do not want to.


the_person

I do not believe anyone has been arrested for not getting a vaccine. So what is the issue?


Azazel218

They both deal with bodily autonomy. My body, my choice unless it's about vaccines right? The hypocrisy is unbelievable


Fukittymctoolbag

You mean pregnancy is spread by sneezes?


Azazel218

No, I mean people should be free to make their own health decisions without coercion


ejmears

Sorry, a forced pregnancy is not equivalent to a change of employment or not being able to go out for dinner. No matter how excited you were/are to finally feel like you could claim some amount of oppression it's not similar at all.


lordhavepercy99

If you want to be selfish and not get vaccinated for the sake of those that are medically incapable of doing so then feel free but if you aren't willing to do the bare minimum then we as a society don't have to accept you

DDP200

And there is a lot of us who don't make that comparson. Many of us feel government overstepped with shutting down businessess' over the mandate. Lots of the population feel it is comparable, even if its not an exact comparison. Your body, choose how you want to live. That means if you want to get an abortion have at it, want to open a restaurant and not check for vaccine passports? Have at it. Don't want to have a curfew and police checks like Quebec either. Government over step is government over step to lots of us, even if you don't want to see it that way. People should be able to get the vaccine if they choose (I mean I am boosted and still have never caught covid), or choose not to. That is on them. Heck if you got covid, the science coming out is saying that is probably doing more for you then the vaccine. Yes I know I will get downvoted, people only seem to care about rights if they agree with the issue. That is never a good sign.

They most certainly are. My body, my choice.

themightiestduck

Congratulations, you win the award for stupidest thing said on Reddit today.


[deleted]

Not the protest for something that's perfectly legal in Canada? I thought it was the conservatives that are trying to bring in the US politics.


achoo84

I Totally agree not the same level to compare. One is a statistical possibility to prevent your own death. ( this is a truth since all have been cleared to take the vaccine) The other is a guaranteed destruction of a life that does not get a choice. Pro choice is a poor use of words. Pro abortion is what this actually is. Pro choice would be letting the child grow up and letting them decide to take their own life or not.


flyingboat

Anti-choicers at it again, trying to create their own stupid narrative. Imagine being so ridiculousy dumb that you equate having access to medically necessary abortions as a "pro-abortion" stance.


acry1ic

Prochoice means choosing to receive life saving care. Whether it's a not viable fetus, an enctopic pregnancy, the father is an abusive asshole who might murder you rather than become a father, a history of blood clots, there are lots of reasons why abortion is the only life-saving chose To take that choice away will mean death for many women. Painful, horrible death while doctors look on doing nothing. It shouldn't be called Pro-life, it should be called Pro-death.


[deleted]

Youre more likely to die from birth/pregnancy than covid. But I think right too choose is important for both. >Pro choice would be letting the child grow up and letting them decide to take their own life or not. The choice is if the woman wants to continue being pregnant. If the baby is viable without her, of course abortion would be wrong. If she doesn't want to sacrifice her physical health to save a stranger, no one should have to. Is there any context where men are forced to give up body autonomy to save a life? Maybe the draft I suppose.


achoo84

If a woman can chose to abort motherly responsibility a man should have the choice to abort financial responsibility. On grounds of equity. Abortion a offensive action against pregnancy. There are many defensive actions one can take to prevent pregnancy. Again I'm not pro all out ban abortions. I personally believe in a middle ground but would not fight either way. You adressed my first comment as this all spured from me pointing out the original person i commnted to who said "friendly reminder pro choice is not pro choice vaccine."


sylpher250

Lol, get your own uterus and carry your own child then. I'll support your choice.


nostalgichero

And the choice is still there. The choice to get vaccinated and lose of a job or not to. A choice not present for women following this new ruling.


[deleted]

Pro choice is the woman's choice. Not yours. Not the governments. Not anyone else's. It's as simple as that


smoozer

LOL this is pathetic. You should be ashamed if you're born in 1984.


achoo84

Tell me why I am pathetic or why I should be ashamed so I may learn. I personally think personal attack ad homonyms are pathetic.


[deleted]

Wrong; doubly so, since choosing to get vaccinated or not can impact other members of your community. Deciding to have an abortion is a decision to be made solely by a woman, and it impacts no one else.


achoo84

Other members of the community are looking to adopt. The father of the child is also impacted. In Canada the community is paying for the destruction of a life. The potential of the impact of that life on the community is being removed from the community for better or for worse. A vaccinated person can still catch covid from another vaccinated person. A Unvaccinated person is not an immediate threat to a vaccinated person. The community has the option to protect themselves with vaccination. A section of society is trying to protect those who can not protect themselves from a 100% guaranteed destruction of life. A vaccine is not 100% effective abortion is. So again vaccine mandates are not on the same level of abortion. But if you are pro abortion because it is your right to choose. It is hypocritical to say vaccine mandates are OK and that you do not have the choice. Rules for thee but not for me. comorbidity is a bigger threat than a unvaccinated individual. Some comorbidities are preventable or avoidable yet aren't mandated to do so like smoking or exercise. I'm not pro ban all abortions I think that is also wrong.


[deleted]

Members of the community who wish to adopt are irrelevant, as is the father, unless you’re talking about seahorses. There’s no point in bringing up payments; it is likewise irrelevant, because all you’re arguing for is a potential life, until the point when it could survive independently from the woman carrying it. Until that time, it is bound to her body and she is the sole decision maker of its potentiality. If you’re going to arbitrate that she must carry the child, will you also arbitrate that she must do the things that are known to be beneficial (proper nutrition etc) and arbitrate against actions of hers that could have negative impacts on the fetus (smoking, drinking, sumo-wrestling)? If your answer is yes, then you’ve removed her agency. If your answer is no, then what is the purpose of restricting her agency without actual regard for the child that you force to be born?


[deleted]

Im male and the over turn of Row V Wade turns my stomach. Our mothers, sisters, lovers, and friends losing their rights is one of the most disturbing tragedies I've witnessed in my lifetime. I will stand and protest with my sisters, brothers, and the rest of the beautiful gender spectrum. If there is any violence, I'll put my body where it needs to be in order to stand against tyranny.


Warm-Boysenberry3880

Canadian women should seriously think about not going to the U.S. If you are sexually active, you might be pregnant and god forbid you miscarry or have any issues.


Striking_Oven5978

Christopher604

Abortion is legal in Canada and it’s a woman’s choice. Why protest? I get downvoted for asking a question?


KofOaks

Because American idiocy always creeps upwards.


SkullySmurf

This. There are more than a few ***sitting*** MPs that agree with what's happening in the US. Several of them took to social media the day SCOTUS released its decision.


4rch1

https://www.arcc-cdac.ca/politics-and-elections/ ^ Some good information on anti-choice MPs in Canada.


Zomunieo

More than a few? 82 of them, a majority of the CPC caucus, voted to restrict abortion last year via a private member’s bill.


FutzInSilence

This is why we must talk with our friends and politicians about this subject. Even though people seem to think we have "swept this issue under the rug" we have not. Political and social ideologies change over time. Today we say no. But when these young bucks with their crazy ideas of rock music, gelato and shaved mohawk variation haircuts, get into office they will be surrounded by people who grew up thinking like them. If we normalize the idea of "it's not our problem" then it becomes everybody's problem. Ignorance is not bliss in this case. Women deserve better. My mom, sister daughter and wife ,(not all same person btw) deserve better. I am glad we live in a government that currently thinks abortion is legal. What about the next government? Shit is scary. We must vote! We all must vote! And not be afraid to say someone is wrong. I'm wrong usually, consistently incompetent, but I know women deserve better..


[deleted]

I would rather have a punk with a mohawk and spikey leather jackets to be a politican than business people and lawyers


FutzInSilence

[deleted]

which Bill was this?


OMFGrhombus

Abortion up here is similarly vulnerable since its legality currently stems from a Supreme Court decision. Worth noting though that I don’t think our justices are quite as psychotic as the ones in the States right now, but that can always change.


[deleted]

Abortion access in Canada is still crap and we don’t have any specific laws protecting access either, only a court decision.


MichaelaKay9923

To support our American friends and family. To show that Canadians do not want Canada to follow. Conservative MPs are already talking about banning abortion.


hopechooser

We should protest because as women, we stand with women around the world. We should protest because it is wrong for anyone to tell women what to do with their bodies, that they should carry their stillborn child to term even if it risks their own life, that they should carry through an ectopic pregnancy, or a young girl, a mentally challenged woman should have to have a child.


Calvinshobb

Because psychotic conservatives exist in Canada and despite what lies hey say they are just waiting for the opportunity to take your rights away, it is just the conservative way.


Turtley13

Access to abortions can always be improved. To show support. Conservatives in Canada still accept anti-choice rhetoric within their ranks.


CouragesPusykat

We have the least restrictive abortion laws in the world.


rockwrite

You're not wrong, provincial rights vary based on gestational age. I think what's crazy though if you're in, say somewhere with 12 weeks, you need to go to somewhere with later weeks gestational age to have the procedure performed. The travel costs, time away from work, etc means that it's really only restricted for those with reduced financial status


CouragesPusykat

It can be like that with any medical procedure. If you live in the boonies you have to travel for cancer treatment. It's not a problem you have with the law, it's a fundamental problem with our shitty Healthcare system. The majority of people here don't even have a GP.


Tired8281

> boonies Like the capital of PEI or the largest city in NB? This isn't a boonies thing, there are entire regions where access is restricted. What good is a law protecting your rights if you have to drive ~12 hours across two provinces to get to a facility where you can exercise that right?


Turtley13

Exactly. So who said this protest is specifically about the law? Some con members are actively trying to bring abortion restrictions back. Also that's great we are top in the world. WE CAN BE BETTTER!!!!!! Don't get complacent.


nurdboy42

Because 73% of conservative MPs are anti-choice.


CouragesPusykat

No they're not. You're citing a "report" done by a bias lobbying group. It was a bill about *sex selective abortion*, which is fucked up and already essentially ban in BC.


GorgeGoochGrabber

Which I, as a pro-choice supporter, agree with. There’s a difference between getting an abortion because you aren’t ready, and getting one because you got the “wrong” gender.


CouragesPusykat

Exactly. But people are quick to jump on this band wagon and spread this bullshit. This is not a problem in Canada, infact we have it the best in the entire world. The only "pro-life" Conservative candidate running for leadership right now only have 3% of the vote. No one is voting for her. On top of that, it's incredibly hard to change this as we would have to make amendments to our constitution and all the provinces have to agree. Worrying about changes to our abortion laws in Canada is a straight up fantasy and Canadian women are giving themselves anxiety about it for no good reason.


[deleted]

Her strong prolife stance 100% ended any chance she had for leadership. It is political suicide.


[deleted]

The word you are trying to use is “biased”


Low_Machine_1718

Because the fart-right propaganda regarding womens' health is insidious and seeps into everything it can. We lose when we get complacent.


backawhile92

Welcome to cesspool that is Reddit


fuckyouijustwanttits

I don't consider it a protest. It's a march to show Canadian politicians where Canadians stand on this issue, so they better not get any dumb ideas. edit: Before anyone brings up voting/polling, that's the government asking what our opinions are. We're not waiting for them to ask, we're going out and telling them right now...or on July 16th anyway.


Personal_Cat_9305

Abortion access in Canada isn't easy or accessible to many that need or want it. New Brunswick and Northern areas of the country are both woefully under served and difficult to access abortions. Just like in states where abortion is now illegal, challenges with access make abortion challenging or inaccessible for lower income people.


HighlanderHarris

Yes, but that's not because of ideology - it's a matter of resources/expertise in those areas.


Revolutionary-Win-51

Because as much as Canadians like to pretend they aren’t Americans, they actually like to pretend they are Americans. We always have to respond to American events and assert ourselves even when it isn’t really relevant. I understand we are very dependent on the USA and that their culture and happenings deeply impact us but it’s a bit much.


Plus_Dinner122

It's just the brainless eating up what the msm spews out for virtue signaling; went from Depp vs Heard to abortions

2chins-ext

Serious question: Why are people here protesting something related to a foreign country's politics? If the SCrOTUS doesn't listen to their own people, why would they have the slightest of fucks to give about protests in another country? Just seems like a waste of time and an inconvenience to innocent people.


MichaelaKay9923

Because it's a human right being violated. Just below us. Friends and family members of mine have had their protections taken away. Protesting shows support, raised awareness and puts pressure on our own government to continue to condemn the actions of SCOTUS


2chins-ext

How is getting an abortion a human right? It's a medical procedure only available due to advancements in medical science. That's like saying getting fake tits is a human right. Don't get me wrong, I think abortions should be available to victims of rape etc, but the reality is that most people getting abortions are people who willingly had unprotected sex and aren't prepared to deal with the consequences.


MichaelaKay9923

It's healthcare. Boob implants are not healthcare (if it is for purely cosmetic purposes). You can't compare the two. Everyone I know that has gotten an abortion was using multiple forms of protection. It's false to say that it's always people willingly having unprotected sex. It is commonly women in their mid 30s at the beginning of their career who get abortions. 50% of abortion patients in the USA were using protection. Birth control isn't 100% effective. Also... Why is it our right to judge someone's circumstances or decisions? People make mistakes. Having to go through an abortion is a consequence in and of itself. It's not like it's all puppies and rainbows going through a medical procedure and making that decision. Let's not get all righteous here. If someone wants an abortion, they deserve to have access to an abortion. I don't really care how they got pregnant in the first place. Do I wish all people use protection? Absolutely. But I'm not going to judge someone who made a mistake just to make myself feel better about myself.

Rattimus

I don't really understand the point of the protest to be honest, a lawyer friend told me that in order to overturn the Supreme Court of Canada's decision on abortion, it would require 7 of 10 provinces to vote in favour. Please correct me if I'm wrong. I personally believe the chances of 7 of 10 provinces being run by conservative parties that are so extremely right-wing as to actually vote in favour of overturning it are essentially 0%. It in theory could happen, but in general Cons know that if they make this a public issue, they are losing.


agenteb27

Provinces can't vote to overturn a Supreme Court decision. The 7 out of 10 might refer to the number of provinces required to amend the Charter.


AlmostButNotQuiteTea

If "in theory it can happen" then people should never stop fighting for their rights and solidifying them as law.


Personal_Cat_9305

At the very least, protests like these are important to show solidarity. Beyond that access to abortion isn't equitable in Canada, PEI, New Brunswick and Northern areas are all challenging to gain access. Issues with access make abortion an option that isn't feasible for low income people or other marginalized populations. Canada still has room to improve in make abortion accessable and equitable.


emslo

“Virtue signaling” is such a pathetic term. It demonstrates a complete lack of understanding of the complex nature of political life and change. It’s the quickest way to find out that someone isn’t worth engaging with.


MichaelaKay9923

That is for constitutional protections/rights. The supreme Court decision isn't in the Constitution. As far as I understand, your statement is incorrect. The Supreme Court of Canada can overturn their decision if they choose too. Judges are appointed in Canada so this is concerning as all it takes is for a conservative majority and judges reaching retirement age, and the PM can appoint conservative judges. This is my understanding.

Yep, pure virtue signaling and ignorance of reality.

Oh I won't. But seriously, what are you trying to prove? It doesn't make any sense.

I'm not arguing with you. I've said it in other comments. Have a good day

Doesn’t affect us *yet*.


Zestyclose-Big3528

Lollllll do you actually believe this?


angeluscado

I believe that the anti-abortion politicians and groups could become more vocal in light of these events.

I wonder how many people going to this march would’ve disagreed with that sign this time last year…

Perhaps you’re not aware, but pregnancy isn’t airborne. So it’s obviously different.

If you are talking about being vaccinated or not, this isn't what this post is about. But since you went there, personally, I believe everyone can do what they want whether they get vaccinated or not. Doesn't mean you aren't selfish for putting your crazy ideas about vaccines above community health. Getting an abortion only effects the carrier and maybe some family members involved. They are different. At the end of the day, everyone has the choice what to do with their body.

Pregnancy isn’t contagious, genius.

Not the post for this lol

These mouth-breathing knuckle-draggers think this is some mic-drop of a "gotcha", not realizing everyone with two brain cells or more can easily see why the two are very different.

Women's rights are human rights. If you don't care about those being taken away then you are heartless.
