“Access to abortion remains out of reach for many women in the United States, as established,” said Risa Kaufman, director of human rights in the United States at the Center for Reproductive Rights, which fights abortion restrictions in the United States. United States courts and monitors international law. "That contrasts with many countries, including those in Western Europe, which offer access to fully funded, subsidized abortion services, universal health care, contraception and broader social programs."
The United States is also an exception in another way: for considering rolling back abortion access. The Mississippi case is a direct challenge to the Roe ruling. If the court reverses this ruling, more than 20 states are expected to ban or substantially restrict abortion at all stages of pregnancy.
Since 1994, according to this center, only three countries have toughened laws related to abortion: Poland, El Salvador and Nicaragua. In that period, 59 expanded them. In 2018, Ireland, which prohibited abortion in most cases, legalized it up to twelve weeks if an application is made. Other countries, such as South Korea, have decriminalized it.
