US Courts Restricting Abortion Access Is A Cause Of Concern – WHO

The World Health Organisation has come out to voice concern at courts limiting the right of women to access safe abortion services, following fresh legal maneuvers in the United States.

WHO chief, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus recently revealed this to the press, and the world has been reacting.

According to him, restricting access to safe abortion methods would only drive women and girls into unsafe choices, so it is best to reconsider the law in the US.

He added that women should always have the right to choose when it comes to their bodies and their health.

His words, “WHO is concerned that the right of women to access safe abortion services, including through the use of medical abortion medicines, are being limited by legislators, and/or courts.”

“Women should always have the right to choose when it comes to their bodies and their health. Restricting access to abortion does not reduce the number of procedures, and only drives women and girls towards unsafe ones, and also death.”

“Ultimately, access to safe abortion is healthcare that saves lives.”
