Roe v Wade

Reaction of Senator Patrick Leahy (D-Vermont) to the Supreme Court's opinion in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, June 24, 2022.

Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Vermont will continue to advocate for our employees and our members’ right to obtain abortion care. The ruling in the case, Dobbs v. By abandoning five decades of legal precedent to repeal a cherished and fundamental right, the Supreme Court has betrayed the American people. Access to abortion will be protected in Vermont, and that protection will be enshrined in the Constitution by Vermont voters on November 8 with the passage of Prop 5. Wade. Every person should have the right to control their own health care decisions, including the right to abortion care. Leahy. In 2019, Act 47 created a statute that further protects unlimited, unregulated abortion through all nine months of pregnancy irrespective of the US Supreme Court decision in Dobbs. “In Vermont, a person’s right to choose is secure, and the City will continue its record of doing everything possible to defend reproductive access. Increasingly, it is clear, we must reform the way the U.S. Supreme Court is constituted to rebuild and restore its own legitimacy.” “The U.S. Supreme Court is quickly losing credibility in the eyes of many Americans. Our democracy depends on our ability to restore legitimacy to this essential branch of our government. “Additionally, in November, Vermonters will be able to further solidify this action with a constitutional amendment on the ballot. “Today will go down as a tragic day in the fight for human rights and women’s rights. Today’s opinion from a narrow majority of the Court is not the end of abortion.

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern is calling the US Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v Wade "incredibly upsetting," while ACT's David Seymour calls it a ...

Wade Is draconian and does not support the right of women to choice. But this tells us also that we cannot be complacent." "That change was grounded in the fundamental belief that it's a woman's right to choose. It prevents access for those without the resources to travel to areas where abortion is legal.— Chlöe Swarbrick (@_chloeswarbrick) The US Supreme Courts overturning of Roe v. People are absolutely entitled to have deeply held convictions on this issue.

The Prime Minister says the decision is "incredibly upsetting".

“To see that principle now lost in the United States feels like a loss for women everywhere. “That change was grounded in the fundamental belief that it’s a women's right to choose. “Watching the removal of a woman’s fundamental right to make decisions over their own body is incredibly upsetting," Ardern said in a statement on Saturday.

OPINION: Roe was supposed to be settled law. This is why I don't necessarily believe the anti-abortion politicians in Aotearoa when they say they accept ...

This happens in every jurisdiction that bans abortion except to save the life of the patient. People in the middle of the country will have to travel long distances to get abortion care, provided they can afford it. The world can only watch in horror, and look to protect our own institutions. This travesty is but one of the repeated blows to representative democracy that the US is suffering. This was something that had never happened before in the history of the US. The Supreme Court was supposed to be a tight ship. Our fundamental rights hang in the balance. But they’re not dying yet, they may not even be that sick. The postcode lottery makes abortion a class issue like it was before Roe. Rich people will have abortions. Poor people will have unwanted children. Roe was supposed to be settled law. Alito ignores the Supreme Court’s long line of sex discrimination cases over the past 50 years. Some would argue that benchmark has not yet been achieved.

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has condemned the decision by the US Supreme Court to overturn the ruling recognising a constitutional right to abortion, calling ...

The whole US system of patriarchal capitalism must indeed be aborted.

With the latest Supreme Court ruling, many women in the US will now not have that same privilege of relief. I abandoned the country after graduating from Columbia University in New York in 2003, and proceeded to pursue an internationally itinerant existence during which my healthcare and other needs were, as expected, attended to in a far more humane fashion than in my homeland. On June 24, the United States Supreme Court overturned Roe v Wade, the landmark 1973 ruling that legalised abortion nationwide.

The sensational 1972 “Bobigny trial” of Marie-Claire Chevalier for obtaining an illegal abortion helped decriminalize abortion in France just before Roe v.

Upon her death, President Emmanuel Macron and his wife Brigitte sent flowers to the funeral, a gesture confirming Marie-Claire’s critical role in advancing reproductive rights in France. Halimi died in 2020, just a few weeks before the death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, arguably her close American counterpart. Rather than stick to the details of Marie-Claire’s case, Halimi chose to target the 1920 law that made a teenage rape victim a criminal, and in doing so turn her client’s misfortune into a groundbreaking legal precedent. On Halimi’s advice, she eventually enrolled in a remote boarding school to escape the media furor, yet discussion of the trial remained ubiquitous. (Her mother, Michèle, received only a symbolic fine that she never had to pay, and the abortionist a suspended one-year prison sentence.) That regulation followed a law from 1920, which, seeking to rebuild the population after the immense losses of the First World War, had banned all voluntary terminations and contraception in France. French women who illegally aborted (an estimated minimum of 300,000 of them every year) could expect punishment of up to two years in prison, and their abortionists up to a decade.
