在妇女权利、公共卫生和人权倡导者的推动下，堕胎法的自由化成为一种全球趋势。这一趋势反映了人们认识到妇女获得法律的堕胎服务是一个妇女权利和自决问题，并认识到将堕胎定为刑事犯罪对公共卫生的严重影响，尽管如此，采取法律的战略，设置障碍，阻碍妇女获得法律的堕胎服务，如强制性的等待期、有偏见的咨询要求以及出于良心拒服兵役的不受管制的做法，正在顺应这一趋势而出现。公共卫生证据和人权保障为挑战堕胎禁令和这些限制提供了令人信服的理由。
There is a global trend toward the liberalization of abortion laws driven by women's rights, public health, and human rights advocates. This trend reflects the recognition of women's access to legal abortion services as a matter of women's rights and self-determination and an understanding of the dire public health implications of criminalizing abortion.Nonetheless, legal strategies to introduce barriers that impede access to legal abortion services, such as mandatory waiting periods, biased counseling requirements, and the unregulated practice of conscientious objection, are emerging in response to this trend. These barriers stigmatize and demean women and compromise their health.Public health evidence and human rights guarantees provide a compelling rationale for challenging abortion bans and these restrictions.
