Berer, M. (2017). Abortion Law And Policy Around The World: In Search Of Decriminalization. Health And Human Rights, 19(1), 13-27.
This paper aims to provide a general view of laws and policies on abortion around the world, giving numerous country-based examples. It explains that the complex laws and limitations surrounding abortion do not make any legal sense. What makes abortions safe is when it is universally affordable and accessible to women. From this perspective, there are few existing laws that are fit for this purpose. However, the road to change those laws is long and difficult. To achieve safe abortion, advocates need to study the political health system, legal, juridical, and socio-cultural realities surrounding existing law and policy in their countries. The biggest challenge is to decide what is needed to achieve to legal abortion and work together with legal experts, parliamentarians, health professionals, and women to change the law, so that anyone with an unwanted pregnancy who seeks an abortion can have it, as early as possible and as late as necessary.
