When the Roe v. Wade case is dismantled, the United States becomes a western outlier. Comparing the rights of abortion looks like this:

Some U.S. allies have high access to abortion

Few developed countries have banned or severely restricted access to abortion, so they were generally companies in other Western countries. According to the Center for Reproductive Rights, all but two of the 36 countries defined by the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs as developed countries, except Poland and Malta, are on demand or for a wide range of health and socio-economic reasons. Allows abortion. (CRR) campaigns to improve access to abortion and monitors laws around the world.

But the end of the federal protection of abortion will see parts of the United States join those ranks. The right to abortion will be determined by the states of the United States unless Congress takes action.

According to the Guttmacher Institute, more than half of US states are certain or likely to ban abortion after Law's capsize.

Since the Supreme Court's ruling, the ban has already entered into force in several US states.

Such legislation has seen many countries, including the gateway to the United States, liberalize abortion legislation in recent years.

"Women and those capable of giving birth will never be prosecuted again," Judge Luis Maria Aguilar said after the judgment. "Today, the threat of imprisonment and stigma that puts pressure on those who have decided to end their pregnancy freely has been banished."

Canada, the northern neighbor of the United States, is at any point during pregnancy. It is one of the few countries that allows abortion. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau criticized the move in the US state to make access to abortion more difficult, and on Friday he accused the ruling of being "horrifying."

Abortion is available in Canadian hospitals and private clinics. In most cases, the procedure is covered by a state government health insurance plan. In other words, it's basically free. However, Canada does not have a national abortion law, which makes access to services nationwide unstable.

Most European Union countries (including G7 countries) allow abortion with restricted pregnancy, according to the supervision of charities, including the CRR. The most common is 12 weeks. Exceptions after that period are usually allowed for certain reasons, such as when pregnancy or childbirth poses a risk to the mother's health.

Opposition to the procedure is generally less widespread in these countries than in the United States.

And decisively, we rarely find developed countries where abortion does not occur in extreme cases, such as when women are victims of rape or incest.

However, many of the abortion bans in force across the United States do not include such exceptions.

Anti-abortion protests were occasionally held in countries, including the United Kingdom, and some councils responded by reducing the ability of protesters to interact with those entering the clinic.

Activists around the EU are also calling for relaxation of their country's regulations. In Germany, for example, abortion is allowed up to 12 weeks of gestation, but those seeking this procedure are required to attend a compulsory counseling session, followed by a three-day waiting period. Because the "promotion" of abortion is illegal, doctors were also charged with sharing details about the abortion services they provide.

Japan, along with countries such as Finland and India, is preparing for abortion not only in the case of rape and women's health risks, but also for broader socio-economic reasons.

Comparison with the United States In democracy, Australian law is the most similar. As in the United States, access to abortion varies from Australian state to territory. Until recently, this procedure was criminalized in some areas.

The United States Participates in Clutch in Areas That Make Access to Abortion Difficult

Almost half of all abortions worldwide are unsafe, and 97% of unsafe abortions occur in developing countries, WHO says.

However, the United States is not the only country where the right to abortion is threatened. In other, more socially conservative world pockets, populist and authoritarian governments have moved to limit access to procedures as well.

Since taking office in 2015, the Polish government has made abortion a wedge problem and has overwhelmingly appealed to social conservatives in Catholic countries, but in the more liberal cities of the country. Caused a large-scale protest.

Slovakia tried to follow Poland's initiative, but parliament rejected several bills proposing restrictions on reproductive rights over the past two years.

In Latin America and the Caribbean, abortion laws are generally strict. In Brazil, for example, according to HRW, this procedure is illegal except in certain situations, such as when a fetal defect or abortion is the result of rape. Women and girls who have completed their pregnancy under other circumstances may face a delay of up to three years, HRW said.

In Nicaragua and El Salvador, abortion is completely illegal in all situations, and imprisonment in the latter country can be up to 40 years. "Such a law effectively equates torture, discrimination, and the denial of some of the most basic human rights to life and dignity," the human rights group Amnesty International said last year in connection with El Salvador. Stated. In recent years, several judgments have been overturned and several women have been released from prison after serving part of a long sentence.

However, other countries in the region are moving towards allowing abortions. The Argentine Senate resolved in December 2020 to legalize abortion for up to 14 weeks, making it the largest country in Latin America at the time to legalize that practice.

Also, Ecuador recently took steps to ease the restrictions on abortion in the case of rape.
