Closed Condemn the US for overturning legal rights to abortion

Closed on

We want the UK Government to show that they support basic human rights and that women have the right to their own bodies.

We want them to condemn the US, where constitutional rights to abortion have been overturned, and several states have banned or restricted legal rights to abortion.

The US Supreme Court ruling to overturn legal protections for abortion has left it open for states to ban or restrict access to abortions, and many have done so.

The decision of the Supreme Court was not a democratic decision by the people. It was decided by unelected individuals.

The banning and restriction of rights to abortion is a violation of human rights, should be condemned.
