U.S. could be a 'global outlier' if Roe v. Wade is overturned. How do other nations handle abortion access?
"Different countries have different barriers around abortion access, but overwhelmingly where countries have liberalized their abortion laws, at the very least, it has increased access to safe abortion services," said Mayall. "Nearly universally, abortion stigma remains a barrier to access."
The country introduced a near-total ban in January 2021 except in cases where the pregnant person's life is at risk, or in cases of rape or incest. Prior to the ban, 98% of legal abortions in the country were performed due to fetal malformations, an exemption ruled unconstitutional by the country's top court.
