#AbortionIsEssential

[Center for Reproductive Rights @ReproRights]

The U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization has OVERTURNED Roe v. Wade, decimating the right to abortion in the U.S. and opening the door for states eager to ban abortion outright. THIS DECISION IS WRONG. #AbortionIsEssential #SCOTUS

@RightsPratigya @ReproRights @Prabsbajra Thank you for this wonderful and much needed discussion #InternationalSafeAbortionDay #MakeUnsafeAbortionHistory

PSA: medication abortion is now on the @WHO's essential medicines list.

There’s no reason to restrict access to medication abortion any longer. Medically unnecessary restrictions for medication abortion MUST be removed across the globe, for good. #MakeUnsafeAbortionHistory

@Brototi4 @RightsPratigya @ReproRights Self-management of abortion pills and telemedicine prove to be the way during pandemics. Many countries such as Ireland, England, France included telemedicine, self-administration of medical abortion pills in their abortion regulations to respond to the #COVID-19 pandemic.

[Brototi @Brototi4]

@RightsPratigya @ReproRights @Prabsbajra The #pandemic underscored the need for states to improve access to medical abortion and remove restrictions on telemedicine.

[Brototi @Brototi4]

@RightsPratigya @ReproRights @Prabsbajra #Covid19India highlighted challenges to accessing safe abortion services. GoI issued #telemedicine guidelines in March 2020 but abortion services not included. Self-managed abortion must be recognized as essential public health right at all times

[Brototi @Brototi4]

@RightsPratigya @ReproRights @Prabsbajra Abortion care constitutes essential health care and must remain available during the #COVID-19 crisis #MakeUnsafeAbortionHistory

[Brototi @Brototi4]

@Prabsbajra @RightsPratigya @ReproRights We have seen that happen in developing countries more starkly but also everywhere else despite having permissive laws

[Brototi @Brototi4]

@RightsPratigya @ReproRights @Prabsbajra Comprehensive, accurate & evidence-based information on abortion services information about abortion care is critical to ensuring that pregnant persons can exercise this right in reality

[Brototi @Brototi4]

@DebanjanaC @RightsPratigya @ReproRights @Prabsbajra Couldn’t agree more!

[prabina bajracharya @Prabsbajra]

@RightsPratigya @Brototi4 @ReproRights Evidence shows that legal restrictions on abortion do not result in fewer abortions - WHO states almost all deaths and morbidity from unsafe abortion occur in countries where abortion is severely restricted in law and/or in practice. @ReproRights #InternationalSafeAbortionDay

[Brototi @Brototi4]

@Prabsbajra @RightsPratigya @ReproRights Recent study by @ReproRights along with @NLSIUofficial and @NLUDofficial shows how abortion stigma, views about adolescent sexuality, sexuality norms & ableist perceptions create chilling effect for adolescent girls & unmarried women, persons with disability & LGBTQI persons.

[Brototi @Brototi4]

@RightsPratigya @ReproRights @Prabsbajra An enabling regulatory and policy environment is needed to ensure that every pregnant person has timely access to safe abortion care

[Brototi @Brototi4]

@RightsPratigya @ReproRights @Prabsbajra Stigma and taboos likely to exist in any unequal society, and in case of #SafeAbortionForEveryone access, as patriarchy & #Gender norms trump women’s bodily & decisional autonomy #SAFE #MakeUnsafeAbortionHistory #InternationalSafeAbortionDay #ISAD2021

[Brototi @Brototi4]

@RightsPratigya @ReproRights @Prabsbajra Function of law and policy is to set standards and by doing so, help move the needle towards social change and justice for all.
Law cannot do this in isolation, it must go hand in hand with education & awareness, and social, economic, and policy measures

[Brototi @Brototi4]

@RightsPratigya @ReproRights @Prabsbajra • Liberal and inclusive laws & policies are important tools to address stigma & taboo as they empower both pregnant persons and service providers to seek & provide safe abortion services #MakeUnsafeAbortionHistory #SafeAbortionForEveryone
