US Abortion Rights Turnover Attempt to Help People Recognize Essential Service, Says Doctors For Choice Malta
The potential U.S. Supreme Court ruling of Roe vs. Wade, which gives the legal right to abortion, is likely to help people realize how essential the health care service is to well-being of pregnant people, said Doctors for Choice Malta.
A leaked Supreme Court document, published by Politico, suggests that the court will overturn the important legal decision of 1973, opening the door for a ban on abortion in about half of the states. United. Some states, however, have said they will embrace abortion in their respective constitutions.
“If confirmed, a decision to switch Roe vs. Wade will likely give the United States a free hand to legalize or ban abortion,” Doctors for Choice told Lovin Malta.
“This means that those pregnant people who need abortions in states where abortion will be banned will need to either travel to another state if they can afford it, or risk illegal abortion and possible fines or imprisonment.”
“Some may resort to self-harm, and others may end up giving birth in circumstances where both the mother and the baby will suffer. Malta is the EU state with the worst abortion law, so we know very well what the effects will be on people’s health and well-being, and they are not good. “
Still, Doctors for Choice remained optimistic that the potential ruling, which has already seen protests from pro-choice and pro-life groups, will help people realize that service is essential.
“The achievement of all this is that, after 50 years of legal abortion, people in America are likely to realize what they have lost and how much abortion care is essential to the well-being of pregnant people, she said.
“We hope this will make them more likely to vote for pro-choice politicians in the future. The world will see again how banning safe abortion is not a good idea, and this is likely to deter other countries from doing the same. “
