Legal reform on abortion is of course necessary, but it is not sufficient.
From the US states of Alabama and Georgia, to Northern Ireland, and Argentina, laws governing a woman’s right abortion are the subject of fierce debate all across the world. Global data on the restrictiveness of abortion laws indicates that there is certainly a need to change abortion laws in many countries. For example, only a third of countries have laws that protect a woman’s right to have an abortion without restriction.
Take Uruguay as an example. It is one of the only countries in Latin America that legally guarantees the right to abortion. Yet, in rural areas of the country, it remains almost impossible for women to access the care they need. In the northwest, between 60 and 80 percent of gynecologists refuse to perform abortions due to personal, religious, or ethical beliefs—so-called “conscientious objection.” In Italy, 70 percent of gynecologists have registered as so-called “objectors .
In South Africa, where abortion is legal through the 12th week of pregnancy and broadly permitted up to 20 weeks, lack of access to abortion remains pervasive, especially outside of urban centers. Historically, NGOs have served as a critical resource for women who would otherwise pursue unsafe procedures. But, as a result of the Gag Rule, clinics in rural areas have closed down, limiting access to safe abortion as well as to HIV services and contraception.
