Feminists will argue that any restriction on abortion is a limitation on bodily autonomy. It is. But change, especially in deeply patriarchal societies, is often painfully slow. That doesn't mean we stop pushing. We fight on.

Criminalisation of abortion in India leads to healthcare providers refusing to perform them without court mandates to avoid the risk of prosecution. This forces women to court, creating barriers to timely and dignified access to reproductive healthcare.

Abortion is a public health issue. But the women living through it now – the ones who make that decision, knowing it’s illegal – should not have to choose between health and humiliation, medical care and a courtroom, truth and silence.

If the prime minister wants to avoid women going to court for having an abortion, he should have abortion decriminalised immediately. Granting pardons after women have been dragged through hell and back is simply unacceptable. #Malta #AbortionIsHealthcare.
