Abortion
Washington (AFP) - President Joe Biden's administration announced a new rule Monday to protect the privacy of women who go out of their home state to have legal abortions, amid fears they could be prosecuted upon their return. The move comes as reproductive rights take center stage in the November presidential election, following a pivotal court decision that abolished or severely curtailed legal abortion in 21 states. "No one should have to live in fear that their conversations with their doctor or that their medical claims data might be used to target or track them," Melanie Fontes Rainer of...

Abortion opponents have maneuvered in courthouses for years to end access to reproductive health care. In Arizona last week, a win for the anti-abortion camp caused political blowback for Republican candidates in the state and beyond. The reaction echoed the response to an Alabama Supreme Court decision over in vitro fertilization just two months before. The election-year ruling by the Arizona Supreme Court allowing enforcement of a law from 1864 banning nearly all abortions startled Republican politicians, some of whom quickly turned to social media to denounce it. The court decision was yet ...

Phoenix (AFP) - When two volunteers from the Biden-Harris presidential campaign knocked on Davine Cortez's door in Arizona, the businesswoman -- who is not usually interested in politics -- was hesitant to talk to them. But when she realized they were collecting signatures to protect the right to abortion in the southwestern US state, Cortez opened the front door wide. "I'll sign, of course!" she said. The 50-year-old from Phoenix even grabbed a handful of pens to give to the volunteers: "Take these, take these, so that more people can sign," she said. The Arizona Supreme Court on Tuesday r...

Tucson (AFP) - Democrats came out swinging at Donald Trump on the divisive issue of abortion on Friday, blaming him for unpopular restrictions they said are turning back the clock on women's rights ahead of November's presidential election. Days after Arizona became the latest state to declare almost all abortions illegal, Vice President Kamala Harris told a rally the populist former president was the architect of the ban, and warned worse was to come if he wins the White House. "Here's what a second Trump term looks like: More bans, more suffering and less freedom," Harris told supporters in...

Washington (AFP) - Sterilization rates abruptly spiked after the national right to an abortion was overturned by the US Supreme Court in 2022, a study said Friday. The research letter was published in JAMA Health Forum and was the first to evaluate how the landmark decision impacted "permanent contraception" procedures among young adults. They found the jump was both higher and more sustained for women than for men. "The major difference in patterns of these two procedures likely reflects the fact that young women are overwhelmingly responsible for preventing pregnancy and disproportionately e...

Washington (AFP) - President Joe Biden vowed to "fight like hell" for women's reproductive rights in a reelection ad Thursday, as his team pounced on the backlash to a Republican-backed decision all but outlawing abortion in the swing state of Arizona. "Your bodies and your decisions belong to you, not the government, not Donald Trump," Biden says in the ad, which will be aired in Arizona during popular shows including American Idol and Saturday Night Live this month. Part of what the campaign said was a seven-figure media blitz, the ad is aimed at key Democratic target groups -- young people,...

In April 2023 the European Commission proposed new pharmaceutical legislation updating an existing 20-year-old measure and designed to offer patients equitable access to medicines and to boost the role of the industry across the bloc. The key features of the proposed new rules are the reduction in IP protection periods, the introduction of a new system of incentives aiming to boost EU R&D, and efforts to tackle drug shortages in the bloc. However, hidden in the large number of amendments, members of the Parliament deleted exemptive wording from the original proposal regarding contraceptives an...

Four legislative proposals on abortion are set to be considered by lawmakers in Poland on Thursday, four months after the country's right-wing government was ousted. Women's rights activists are concerned that the three bills set to legalise or decriminalise abortion will be shot down by a minority right-wing government alliance. One of the proposals is from the coalition of Prime Minister Donald Tusk and would legalise abortion until the 12th week of pregnancy.

The Polish parliament is scheduled to debate the liberalization of the country's abortion law on Thursday afternoon. During his election campaign, Prime Minister Donald Tusk promised to strengthen women's rights and facilitate access to abortion. The country's current law is one of the strictest in the European Union. However, there is disagreement in Tusk's centre-left coalition about the extent to which abortion law should be liberalized. In 2020, the Constitutional Court tightened Poland's strict abortion law even further under the then conservative nationalist Law and Justice (PiS) party g...
