Some countries have taken unprecedented steps to expand access to abortion in recent years, but international rights groups have long warned that overturning Roe v. Wade could weaken abortion rights around the world, potentially leading some nations to adopt new restrictive laws.
As NPR's Ayana Archie and Joe Hernandez report:
Many countries are expanding abortion access
Ireland legalized abortion in 2019, Argentina legalized it in 2020, New Zealand decriminalized abortion in 2020 and Mexico's Supreme Court voted to decriminalize it last year. In February, Colombia's highest court legalized abortion until 24 weeks of pregnancy.
Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International and the Global Justice Center said in a joint brief that 60% of women of reproductive age live in countries where abortion is available.

We are not responsible for other countries choices regarding abortion or other medical decisions.

Now that Religious Zealots have taken over our Supreme Court, it is time to take drastic measures to restore our court.

-- Interestingly, the Taliban gives women more right to an abortion than some people are getting in the US right now...hmm.
