Safe abortion care is a vital part of sexual and reproductive health and rights. Restricting access to #abortion does not reduce the number of abortions that occur, but does drive women and girls towards unsafe procedures that put their health at risk.

Safe abortion care is essential to protect the health of women & girls everywhere. Removing access to #abortion care will put more women & girls at risk of illegal abortions and the consequent safety issues that would bring

The current #COVID19 situation in Europe is of great concern, but it’s no secret what we need to do: Increase vaccine uptake + make sure people use protective measures including masks & ventilating indoor spaces. Good discussion with @HalaGorani @cnni 👇
