June 24th, 2022: once a right is obtained, it can no longer be lost!
June 24th 2022 was a historic day of defeat for women’s rights to healthcare. It was a devastating day for professionals like us who work for women’s health rights and for the women we serve. During the recent COVID-19 pandemic we fought to keep safe abortion accessible. Moreover, with ongoing conflicts, economic and humanitarian crises raging across the world, people are fighting to keep abortion accessible. We are shocked and in disbelief that the the decision by the Supreme Court of the United States of America (USA) allows bans of abortion. Abortion has always been, and will most likely always remain, a fundamental part of women’s healthcare.
