[GPSCC-chat] "Health As A Human Right"

[Gerry Gras]

FYI,

"Health As A Human Right"

"A new special report from the UN argues, essentially and entirely 
logically, that countries should stop telling women what to do with 
their bodies - that countries that restrict access to abortion or 
contraception are violating a woman's human rights by interfering with 
her right to health. This advice is so contrary to the reality - a 
quarter of the world's women live in countries that ban or restrict 
abortion - that many see the report as a direct challenge of those 
governments."
