With all that has been happening south of the border, we have had a significant uptick in media requests. Despite the fact that Canada is not directly impacted (from a legal standpoint) we are going to have indirect impacts from the decision to overturn Roe vs Wade. Just how much of an impact is yet to be seen; however, we have already seen an uptick in concerned folks contacting our organization wanting to ensure that their rights have not been limited. Any way we look at it, this is an absolutely devastating turn of events, and one that will impact thousands of lives.
