Global Abortion Access After Roe

COUNCIL ON FOREIGN RELATIONS
About this episode

In the past thirty years, sixty countries have expanded access to abortion care as an underpinning of maternal health. The 2022 U.S. Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade made the United States the fourth country ever to decrease access to abortion—and the world took notice. Some countries have since reinforced protections for abortion care, while others have moved to further restrict it.

 

Featured Guests:

Onikepe Owolabi (Director of International Research, Guttmacher Institute)

Patty Skuster (Reproductive Health Law Policy Researcher and Consultant, University of Pennsylvania)
