Retrogression in U.S. Reproductive Rights: The Ongoing Fight for Reproductive Autonomy
This human rights “shadow report” was submitted to the UN Human Rights Committee on September 12, 2023 by a coalition of fifteen reproductive rights, health, and justice organizations in preparation for a review of U.S. compliance with the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR). Drawing on the experiences and expertise of individuals and organizations across the U.S. who have been affected or directly harmed by U.S. laws, policies, and practices that infringe on reproductive rights, it describes the impact of the Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization and what taking away a fundamental right to reproductive autonomy and decision-making during pregnancy has meant for both abortion access and maternal health.
