The U.S. Is Breaking International Human Rights Law on Abortion

The U.S. Supreme Court’s anti-abortion ruling in 2022 violates the human rights to equality and nondiscrimination, the right to privacy, the right to life, the right to health and the right to be free from torture and cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment. We can use international legal remedies to hold the United States accountable for eroding abortion rights and, therefore, women’s human rights.
