As women in the United States find themselves on the verge of possibly losing the constitutional right to abortion, here's a look at where other countries have been heading on the issue.

“It is an awful precedent for the coming years for the region and the world,” said Colombian Catalina Martínez Coral, Latin America and Caribbean director for the New York-based Center for Reproductive Rights, which was among the groups that litigated the abortion case in Colombia’s high court.

Similarly, Mexico's Supreme Court held last year that it was unconstitutional to punish abortion. As the country’s highest court, its ruling bars all jurisdictions from charging a woman with a crime for terminating a pregnancy. Abortion rights protests broke out across the U.S. after a Supreme Court draft opinion was leaked on Monday night which suggests Roe v. Wade could be overturned.

Most European countries have legalized abortion, including predominantly Catholic ones. Ireland did so in 2018, followed by tiny San Marino in a voter referendum last fall. It remains illegal in Andorra, Malta and Vatican City, while Poland last year tightened its abortion laws. When the U.S. Supreme Court's final decision is handed down, expected in late June or early July, the world will be watching.

Women in the US ARE NOT 'possibly losing their 'constitutional' right to abortion' as abortion rights are not in The Constitution, & they will still b avail. Irresponsible for you to knowingly disseminate disinformation. Is FCC & MinistryOfTruth aware about this abortionrights

There is no constitutional right to abortion.

There was never any constitutional right to abortion, or to kill innocent human life in the womb. That's the point of the current court ruling.

Please define the portion of the Constitution that allows abortion on demand.
