‘Action is needed sooner, rather than later’ , Abortion Activists say.
Around the globe, activists against abortion laws continue to struggle against the war on abortions. They say if these laws don’t change soon, many will be in danger.
Recently, the topic of abortion has spread
through the news like wildfire and has been the question on everyone’s mind. Debates around the ethicality of abortions have been all over the internet, and it seems that everyone has an opinion about it. Many countries around the globe like the USA and Poland have restricting laws on abortions, but how far do these restrictions really stop abortions from happening? Recent studies have shown that in countries without abortion laws see rates of 34 per 1000 people getting abortions each year while countries with abortion laws see rates of 37 per 1000 getting abortions. You may be wondering, how are these people getting abortions if it is illegal? Even though abortions are very hard to get legally in countries with abortion laws, there are other ways. One being backstreet clinics. |
Backstreet clinics are notorious for being
unsanitary, dangerous and to be run by non professionals. Despite this, over 25 million unsafe abortions take place each year, Which is the same amount of people who live in australia and 45% of all abortions. These procedures are killing women. It is estimated that 30 in every 100,000 women die from unsafe abortion in developed regions while it is 220 in every in 100,000 women in underdeveloped regions. Internationally, people are not letting this happen and are protesting profusely for their rights. They say that governments need to be educated on how abortions have saved the lives of many, and how banning them will prove to be more dangerous. Yet, Governments across the globe don’t seem to be moving on this topic, and as protesters have said, action is needed now. |
