Abortion Access and Public Health: A Global Perspective

Abstract

Wtalo Galvino*

Abortion is a highly contentious and emotionally charged topic, with deeply ingrained cultural, religious, and moral dimensions. Yet, it is also a critical public health issue with wide-ranging implications for individuals, communities, and societies. The global perspective on abortion access and public health is a multifaceted and complex one, encompassing legal, medical, ethical, and social aspects. In this 3000-word essay, we will explore the current state of abortion access worldwide, its impact on public health, the diversity of cultural and legal attitudes toward abortion, and the challenges and opportunities for improving reproductive rights and health outcomes.
