WHO chief calls US abortion ruling a 'setback’ that will cost lives

Image: Alamy Stock Photo Image: Alamy Stock Photo THE HEAD OF the World Health Organisation has criticised the US Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe v Wade, calling the decision to no longer recognise a constitutional right to abortion “a setback” that would ultimately cost lives.

He said safe abortion should be understood as healthcare and warned that limiting its access would disproportionately hit women from the poorest and most marginalised communities. “I know from my own experience, working in India, that having access to safe abortion is a life-saving measure,” Dr Swaminathan said.She said bans on abortion would do little to reduce the number of procedures, while people who underwent unsafe abortions were at risk of developing fatal blood infections.

In recent years, the trend among countries had been to increase access to abortion, including regions where there was staunch opposition, including Latin America, she said.

I could be wrong but I’d imagine it will save an awful lot of lives 🤦‍♂️

Aahh yes Tedros China's man on the inside ....

nearly time for the journal to run a story about Catholics.

If anyone at all, anyone working can post a link to where it shows abortion as a constitutional right in the American Constitution I’d regally appreciate it. Don’t worry I’ll wait
