The ramifications of the US Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v Wade will ripple across the world, writes StellaCreasy, the Labour MP for Walthamstow.
should be a wake up call to all across the world that women’s rights are under direct and sustained attack. Fifty years ago the USA’s Supreme Court ruled that women were constitutionally entitled to choose to have an abortion. Yesterday, for the first time in its history, America’s highest court has overturned a right it had previously granted. As a direct result millions of women will now be denied access to abortion immediately.
The ramifications of the decision to overturn Roe v Wade will ripple across the world, says Stella Creasy, the Labour MP for Walthamstow.Those leading this assault on women’s rights call themselves pro-life. Yet the outcome of their behaviour is anything but. Restricting or banning access to abortions does not stop abortions. It simply makes it more likely that women will put their lives at risk to have them.
It would be a mistake to believe these attacks on women’s rights are just a matter for America. In recent years there have been repeated attempts to restrict abortion access here in the UK. Most recently, under pressure from Conservative backbenchers, the government tried to overturn the ability of doctors to prescribe women abortion pills via telemedicine.
