Colombia Joins The Green Wave
[link removed]
Colombia joins the green wave, the movement for abortion rights that
is sweeping across Latin America. Following a landmark ruling from its
highest court, Colombia is now the eighth country in Latin America and
the Caribbean to decriminalize abortion in early stages of pregnancy.
The Center was one of five organizations that worked to draft the
lawsuit seeking to eliminate abortion as a crime, reduce barriers to
legal abortion care, and end the risk of criminal prosecution of
people seeking abortion care and of health care workers providing
care.

The U.S. Senate Votes on the Women's Health Protection Act
[link removed]
On February 28, the United States Senate voted on the Women's Health
Protection Act?(WHPA), which would protect access to abortion in
all 50 states. The bill, while supported by a majority of voters in
the U.S. and passed by the U.S. House of Representatives in September
2021, did not receive the 60 votes needed to overcome the filibuster.
The WHPA coalition-of which the Center for Reproductive Rights
is a leading member-will continue to work to advance WHPA this
Congress.

[link removed]
Six months ago, Texas S.B. 8-the country's most restrictive
abortion ban-went into effect, ending almost all abortion access
in the state. The Texas law prohibits abortion after about six weeks
of pregnancy and incentivizes private individuals to sue anyone who
provides abortion care or helps someone get care in the state.
