He said safe abortion should be understood as healthcare and warned that limiting its access would disproportionately hit women from the poorest and most marginalised communities. “I know from my own experience, working in India, that having access to safe abortion is a life-saving measure,” Dr Swaminathan said.She said bans on abortion would do little to reduce the number of procedures, while people who underwent unsafe abortions were at risk of developing fatal blood infections.

In recent years, the trend among countries had been to increase access to abortion, including regions where there was staunch opposition, including Latin America, she said.
