Awaiting the Supreme Court’s decision
The judgment of the Court on the right toabortion to the UNITED STATES is expected by the end of June. Abortion is already restricted in 23 Republican-run states. Others await the decision of the Supreme Court before applying the measure. Twenty conservative states have already assured that abortion would be illegal even in cases of rape or incest. Women would therefore be forced to travel several thousand kilometers to have an abortion. “We won’t stop fighting until everyone, and I mean everyone, has access to safe and legal abortions, regardless of income, zip code or ethnicity.”promised the elected Barbara Lee, who has already resorted to a clandestine abortion.
