Delhi: The US Supreme Court has struck down constitutional protection for abortion in the case of Roe v. Wade. The developments on Friday are expected to lead to a ban on abortion in nearly half of the states. This decision was unthinkable until a few years ago. The Supreme Court's decision marks a succession of decades of anti-abortion efforts.
US President Joe Biden said he would do everything he could to protect women's rights in the wake of abortion laws in states where they would be banned. Biden said politicians would not be allowed to interfere in decisions that would be between a woman and her doctor. The US President has termed the court decision wrong. He appealed to advocates of constitutional protection for abortion to protest only through peaceful means.What will the women of these states do for abortion?Anti-abortion legislation is not national. Some Democratic-led states such as California and New York have expanded reproductive rights. In such a situation, pregnant women in banned states will have to travel hundreds of miles to access abortion facilities or have an abortion at home using medicine and other methods.Research shows that whether legal or not, people get abortions. In countries where access to abortion is limited or illegal, women face complications such as infection, excessive bleeding, and perforation of the uterus. The report states that those who must carry a pregnancy to full term are more likely to have pregnancy-related deaths.Will abortion pills also be banned?Abortion in the US has been the most common method of termination of pregnancy through the pill. It has accelerated even more during the corona virus epidemic. During this, the supply of these medicines has also been increased by the Food and Drug Administration. Many states that prohibit abortion are also trying to prevent abortion through medication. In such a situation, it will also be a challenge to stop the availability of these drugs. However, no final decision has been taken on this yet.Donald Trump applauds Supreme Court's decisionFormer US President Donald Trump hailed the Supreme Court's decision. He said that this decision is in the interest of everyone. This decision is like abiding by the Constitution and restoring the rights, which should have come a long time ago. On the other hand, due to the possibility of protests outside the Supreme Court against this decision, the police have made elaborate security arrangements. Police say security is being tightened in other places in Washington and additional security personnel are being deployed in places where widespread protests are expected.
