Excerpt of article from The Guardian that quotes GJC President Akila Radhakrishnan.
Akila Radhakrishnan, president of the Global Justice Centre, said the letter was “a disgraceful and dangerous attack on essential health services at the worst possible time”.
“No matter what the US government says, abortion is a fundamental human right and reproductive care is always essential, including during a pandemic. At a time when countless lives are at risk, the US has yet again decided to put its efforts into restricting healthcare instead of expanding it.”
She said Guterres should be commended rather than “bullied” by the US administration.
