The UN states that any country restricting a woman’s access to abortion and/or contraception is, in doing so, violating a woman’s human rights.

….finally.

So, we’ve got extremely reputable cancer-related organizations saying abortion doesn’t cause cancer or increase your risk.

We’ve got extremely reputable reports declaring post-abortion depression to be a hoax.

We’ve got extremely reputable reports showing how many women die from lack of safe, legal abortions.

And now we have the UN stating that ANY and ALL restrictions to the right to choose, to have knowledge, and to have contraception is a violation of human rights.

Your move, Anti-Choicers. Try not to use slavery, the Holocaust, or the Bible.

This is huge!

This is a big deal for many women, but just a reminder, because it was mentioned earlier: for a lot of women globally, access to wanted abortions and birth control hasn’t been as important as avoiding forced abortion and sterilization. A decision like this may not be the best one for them.

The right to choose to have a child—and raise it—in a healthy, supported way is just as important as the right to choose to not have one. And that’s not something many women get, either.

Signal boost.
