Washington will continue to support “reproductive health rights” around the world despite a landmark ruling by the country’s Supreme Court revoking that right in the United States, Secretary of State Anthony Blinken said on Friday.
The State Department “will remain fully committed to facilitating access to reproductive health services and promoting reproductive health rights around the world,” Blinken said in a statement.
The US Secretary of State also assured that his services “will do everything possible” so that all employees in the US State Department can have access to reproductive health services “where they live”.
“We will not back down from this commitment,” he said.
Yesterday the very conservative Supreme Court buried the right to abortion in the USA, annulling the flagship decision of “Row vs. Wade” of 1973 for the voluntary termination of pregnancy and returning to each state the possibility to allow or not abortions. At least seven states enacted the ban yesterday.
Leaders of US allies such as Canada, Britain and France have expressed regret over a setback in this decision that puts the US against the currents of the vast majority of countries, especially developed countries.
