Apparently all the news outlets are claiming this is about to happen in the USA. Whether you're against or in favour of abortion, this is a major law which is anti women in that it removes the rights women have over their own bodies.

"WASHINGTON, May 2 (Reuters) - The U.S. Supreme Court looks set to vote to overturn the Roe v. Wade decision that legalized abortion nationwide, according to a leaked initial draft majority opinion published by Politico on Monday.
The unprecedented leak from the conservative-majority Supreme Court sent shock waves through the United States, not least because the court prides itself on keeping its internal deliberations secret and leaks are extremely uncommon.
"This decision is a direct assault on the dignity, rights, & lives of women, not to mention decades of settled law," said former U.S. Secretary of State Hilary Clinton. read more
"It will kill and subjugate women even as a vast majority of Americans think abortion should be legal. What an utter disgrace."
Republican Senator Tom Cotton said: "...Roe was egregiously wrong from the beginning & I pray the Court follows the Constitution & allows the states to once again protect unborn life."
Ah yes - & never mind the rights of women over their own bodies, eh.
Time they made a few laws about men's bodies, men's fertility, I think, in view of the awkward little fact they're so studiously ignoring - that men can have many, many times the number of children that even the most fertile woman with several multiple births can have.
Perhaps they might also make a law requiring boys on entering puberty to have a reversible vasectomy; when they mature & want a family they can have it reversed.
Oh but NO!! That's far too controlling & invasive - what about their rights over their own bodies!
Oh wait...
