Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade; states can ban abortion

The Supreme Court has ended constitutional protections for abortion that had been in place nearly 50 years in a decision by its conservative majority to overturn Roe v. Wade. Friday's outcome is expected to lead to abortion bans in roughly half the states.

Danielle Smith says her government would also take the first steps to creating a provincial agency to collect taxes and launch an Alberta police force. Smith says that she does think she has to wait and run on such policy changes in the next election. She says the government has a mandate to pursue more autonomy for Alberta now given last year's equalization referendum and the findings of the Fair Deal
