From Erika Guevara-Rosas, Americas director at Amnesty International ...

“The reversal of Roe vs. Wade one year ago was a dangerous setback in the context of otherwise steady global progress for abortion rights. Last year, the United States joined a very small group of countries that have restricted abortion rights in recent years, including Poland, Nicaragua and El Salvador. Elsewhere, the progress to decriminalize and legalize abortion in places like Ireland, Mexico, Argentina, and Colombia has been a tremendous gain for the global community. It’s clear the United States is moving in the wrong direction – setting a terrible example worldwide and putting women, girls and pregnant people at risk along the way.”
