Wade, a decision made in 1973 that gave women the constitutional right to an abortion.appalled and outraged by the overturning of Roe v Wade” and added that it was concerned over the most marginalised and vulnerable in society.

The overturning of the landmark decision has been condemned by many international leaders, including those from Canada, New Zealand, France, and the United Kingdom. “We are proud to say that Singapore’s abortion laws, albeit subject to certain conditions, sit confidently with those of other relatively liberal countries,” the group wrote, adding that “Singapore has, for the last 50 years, recognised that a woman’s decisions about her body and health are hers to make, in consultation with her doctor and her loved ones.”

The reversal of Roe is a shocking uprooting of a landscape many believed to be set in stone. It shows that laws, and even constitutions, can be changed by powerful politicians or judges and that it is possible for countries to go backwards 50 years in one fell swoop,” AWARE continued.
