The US abortion decision is already having global impacts

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

60% : The ramifications of this reversal will be felt across the globe, threatening to set back modest policy gains, strengthen anti-abortion advocates and hamper progress in reproductive health and human rights.
47% : We can only hope that other nations will learn from places where abortion is now safe and legal, such as Argentina, Ireland and, more recently, Sierra Leone, and stop turning to the US as a defender of human rights, or as an example of educated policymaking.
44% :A major concern is that power and funding will now increase for US-based anti-abortion groups that are already active in many countries around the world, including Human Life International, which has campaigned against contraception and abortion in sub-Saharan Africa for more than a decade; the East African Center for Law and Justice, a Christian organization with roots in the socially-conservative, anti-abortion American Center for Law and Justice; and Heartbeat International and Human Life International, two anti-abortion groups that have set up "crisis pregnancy centers" in practically every continent to dissuade women seeking abortions from terminating their pregnancies.
43% : On July 19, for example, a UK-hosted joint multi-national human rights statement was amended, removing any mention of "abortion," "sexual and reproductive health and rights" and "bodily autonomy" from the document.
35% : Not surprisingly, and appallingly, the new report notes that the rate of unsafe abortions is nearly 45 times higher in countries with highly restrictive abortion laws than in countries where abortion is legal and available.
34% : Many of them are increasingly seeking abortion: From 1990 to 2019, the rate of abortion for unintended pregnancies globally has increased from 51 percent to 61 percent.
