Onikepe Owolabi 认为堕胎是生殖保健的关键组成部分,获得安全堕胎能够显著降低孕产妇死亡率,并改善妇女的健康和福祉。她援引了多个国家的案例,证明放宽堕胎法律后,不安全堕胎的并发症和死亡率都大幅下降。她还强调,即使在资源有限的情况下,安全堕胎仍然是可行的,并且女性总是会寻求堕胎,限制堕胎只会导致更多不安全堕胎的发生。 Patty Skuster 则分析了美国罗诉韦德案被推翻后,美国堕胎合法性的变化以及对全球的影响。她指出,美国成为少数几个收紧堕胎法律的国家之一,这与全球趋势背道而驰。她认为多布斯案的判决在全球范围内产生了涟漪效应,一些国家利用该判决来加强其堕胎禁令,而另一些国家则将其作为加强堕胎保护的动力。她还分析了美国在全球卫生中的影响力,以及赫尔姆斯修正案和全球禁堕令对全球堕胎准入的影响。 Gabrielle Sierra 强调堕胎是基本医疗保健,与身体自主权和公共卫生息息相关。 叙述者则概述了全球堕胎准入的现状,以及美国在其中的作用。 Onikepe Owolabi 详细阐述了安全堕胎对降低孕产妇死亡率的重要性,并提供了大量数据和案例支持她的观点。她指出,在许多国家,不安全堕胎是孕产妇死亡的主要原因,而放宽堕胎法律能够显著减少这种可预防的死亡。她还强调了药物流产和任务转移在提高堕胎安全性和可及性方面的作用。 Patty Skuster 深入分析了多布斯案对全球堕胎政策的影响,以及美国在全球堕胎政策中的作用。她指出,多布斯案的判决不仅影响了美国的堕胎合法性,也对其他国家的堕胎政策产生了影响。她还分析了美国对全球卫生的资助,以及赫尔姆斯修正案和全球禁堕令对全球堕胎准入的影响。她认为,美国对堕胎的立场对全球都有影响,即将到来的美国大选的结果将对未来几年全球生殖权利和服务的走向产生影响。 Gabrielle Sierra 强调堕胎是基本医疗保健,与身体自主权和公共卫生息息相关。 叙述者则概述了全球堕胎准入的现状,以及美国在其中的作用。

Shownotes Transcript

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.
