American abortion cases against the world, most of its allies support abortion

Jimu News reporter Zhang Yang

On June 24, local time, the U.S. Supreme Court overthrowing the "Roy Valley Case" decision caused a huge response in the world.

CNN quoted British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, saying that this "obviously had a huge impact on people all over the world", and the court's ruling was "a big step back." In addition, leaders of other countries have criticized the decision and plans to hold protests in European cities on weekends.

CNN's article pointed out that the U.S. Supreme Law moved counter to the trend of more freedom of abortion rights around the world, and placed the United States on "very few people." So, what is the abortion in other countries in the world?

Most American allies allow abortion

According to the World Health Organization (WHO) data, before this Friday, the United States was one of the 56 countries that could be free and legally abandoned according to the needs of women.

Few developed countries are prohibited or strictly restricted abortion. According to the data of the Reproductive Rights Center, among the 36 countries defined by the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs as a developed economy, except for Poland and Malta, all countries are allowed to abandi based on extensive health and socio -economic reasons.

According to data from the Gutmach Institute, after the Roy case is overthrown, more than half of the United States will be sure to prohibit abortion. At present, since the issuance of the Supreme Court of the United States, the ban has taken effect in many states in the United States. Such laws have run counter to the trend of relaxation of abortion laws in many countries (including countries at the gate of the United States) in recent years.

Last year, the Supreme Court of Mexico unanimously ruled that it was unconstitutional to punish abortion, which also affected the status of Mexico's national abortion law.

Mexican judge Louis Maria Agilla said after the ruling: "Today, those who freely decide to terminate pregnancy no longer face the shame and threat of imprisonment, and will never criminize them."

In the northern neighbor of the United States, Canada is one of the few countries that allow abortion at any time at any time of pregnancy. Prime Minister Trudeau criticized the US Supreme Court's ruling on Friday. He condemned the ruling "shocking."

Both Canadian hospitals and private clinics provide abortion services. In most cases, the project is underwritten by the provincial government's health insurance plan, which means that they are basically free. However, Canada lacks a national abortion law, which has caused the opportunities for such services to get such services in Canada.

Most countries allow abortion under extreme circumstances

Most EU countries are allowed to abandon restricted abortion, and the most common is abortion within 12 weeks. After this point, there are exceptions, such as pregnancy or childbirth will constitute risks to the mother's health.

It is important that few developed countries do not have abortion under extreme circumstances. For example, when women become victims of rape or incest, the abortion of many states in the United States has not ruled out such exceptions.

Although anti -abortion protests occasionally occasionally in the UK, they also allow abortion rights under special circumstances.

Like Finland, India and other countries, in the case of rape or women's health threatened, or other broader socio -economic reasons, they stipulate their abortion.

Among the allies in the United States, Australia's law is the most similar to it. Like the United States, the abortion laws in each state in Australia are different. It was not until recently that some regions set abortion as criminal crimes.

But the overall direction of Australia is in the direction of allowing abortion. Since 2018, abortion is not criminal in Queensland and New South Wales; both states have allowed abortion for 22 weeks, and South Australia has become the last state that will legalize abortion this year.

Other places are also relaxing restrictions

According to the World Health Organization, there are evidence that the number of abortion has not decreased in countries where abortion is restricted or illegal -instead, women can only resort to an unsafe private clinic or illegal clinic to abortion. Such dangerous incidents are rare in the United States, but after overthrowing the Luo Deer's case, they may make them more common in the United States.

The World Health Organization stated that nearly half of abortion in the world is not safe.

The most noteworthy in this regard is Poland. Last year, the ban on abortion due to fetal defects took effect, which basically declared that the country had almost no abortion right. Poland now only allows abortion when rape, incest or pregnancy threatens her mother's life.

Slovakia tried to imitate Poland, but the country's parliament rejected several bills in the past two years to restrict reproductive rights.

The abortion law is generally strict throughout the Latin America and Caribbean. For example, in Brazil, abortion is illegal, unless in some cases, such as fetal defects or abortion is the result of rape, women who terminate pregnancy may face three years of imprisonment.

In Nicaragua and Salvador, abortion is completely illegal under any circumstances.

But other countries in the region have begun to allow abortion. The Argentine Senate voted in December 2020 to legalize the 14 -week abortion period, making the country the largest legalization country in Latin America at that time.

Colombia followed in February this year. The Constitutional Court of the country decided to legalize the abortion before 24 weeks of pregnancy.(Picture source: CNN)
