Lifting medically-unnecessary policy barriers to comprehensive #abortion care is crucial to allow women to safely access quality abortion and post-abortion care, and to safeguard health and #HumanRights #SRHR

[Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus @DrTedros]

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 — it drives women and girls towards unsafe ones. Access to safe abortion saves lives.

Barriers to abortion don’t end abortions, they simply make them unsafe. 60% of abortions are unsafe, putting millions of people at risk of maternal mortality and morbidity. «Abortion care is healthcare » @WHO #SheDecides @SheDecidesGFI
