Restricting abortion access does not stop people seeking the procedure “it only makes it more deadly,” a spokesperson for UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said on Friday after the US Supreme Court overturned a 1973 decision legalizing abortion.

The UN Population Fund , the UN sexual and reproductive health agency, said “a staggering 45% of all abortions around the world are unsafe, making this a leading cause of maternal death.” Nearly half of all pregnancies worldwide are unintended and more than 60% of those may end in abortion, the UNFPA said.

The US Supreme Court, in Friday’s ruling powered by its conservative majority, ended constitutional protections for abortion contained in the landmark Roe v. Wade ruling of 1973. Roughly half of the US states are poised to ban abortions.

Illegal abortions sometimes kill, legal abortions ALWAYS KILL... children Banning abortions actualy saves MORE lives, but you don't wanna recognize the unborn as lives saved. Wen women die due to ther own actions, they made the choices.Wen children are aborted, they had no choice

Evil spawn spreading 🐂💩
