Guardian: Saving Roe v Wade is not just a US battle but one for women across the Americas

by Mariana Prandini Assis

US conservatives’ campaign to undermine the landmark ruling threatens progress in reproductive freedom in Latin America

As the US supreme court prepares to decide a case that could deny women the right to abortion in much of the US, Latin American activists like me are holding our collective breaths.

The continent has some of the most restrictive abortion laws in the world, in spite of recent progressive reforms in the past decade in countries including Uruguay and Argentina.

The end of Roe v Wade would deliver a frightening message throughout the region.
