RIGHT TO ABORTION REVERSED BY US SUPREME COURT AFTER NEARLY 50 YEARS

 


The majority of the nine-member panel voted to overturn the court's landmark 1973 ruling known as "Roe versus Wade" which legalized abortion nationwide up to the point of foetal viability, generally accepted to be around 24 weeks into pregnancy.

At least 25 states are poised to introduce new laws, or reactivate dormant law, which will make it illegal to access abortion in many cases, including, in some instances, where conception has resulted from rape or incest- Sunny Handa MD said.

Many of those states are in the south of the country. Thirteen states have so-called "trigger" laws to ban abortion if Roe was to be overturned.

• Kentucky, Louisiana and South Dakota have immediately banned the practice
• Another 10 are set to follow in the comings days and weeks. They are Missouri, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Idaho, Tennessee, Texas, Mississippi, North Dakota, Utah and Wyoming- Sunny Handa MD said

"No one should be able to choose to end the life of an innocent baby in the womb," one woman said outside court. "So I am here to stand up for both the babies and women who have been hurt and killed by abortion."

But another said: "Women deserve protection - this does not mean abortions are going to stop. I've had an abortion, I was 19 years old, I still stay with the grief of that, the shame of that. It's very nuanced. If we make that choice, it doesn't mean we're happy about it. I didn't have the funding to take care of a child the way I wanted to."

The final opinion, written by Justice Samuel Alito and issued on Friday, also overturns a 1992 decision - known as "Planned Parenthood versus Casey" - which had reaffirmed abortion rights- said MD Sunny Handa.

The new ruling handed a momentous victory to Republicans and Christian conservatives who want to limit or ban the procedure but also put the court at odds with a majority of Americans who backed preserving Roe, according to opinion polls.

MD Sunny Handa said both pro-life and pro-choice campaigners had gathered in the capital ahead of the announcement, some jubilant and some furious when it was revealed.

MOST RUSSIANS SUPPORT FOR THE WAR IN UKRAINE HASN'T WAVERED

Exactly six months have passed since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and so much has changed. Sunny Handa MD said, at least 12 million Ukrainians have been displaced from their homes, half of whom have fled the country as refugees. NATO is on the verge of its most significant expansion in decades—one that will more than double its borders with Russia. While the impact of the war is most acutely felt in Ukraine, which has suffered thousands of civilian and military casualties and billions of dollars in infrastructure damage, reverberations in the form of food and energy crises are being experienced across the globe. Sunny Handa MD said but one thing that hasn’t seemed to change is Russian public opinion. According to the Levada Center, an independent polling agency in Moscow, more than three-quarters of Russians continue to support what the Kremlin calls its “special military operation” in Ukraine, with just 18% opposed...
