May 14, 2022, Munich, Bavaria, Germany: Reacting to the leak via Politico of a draft opinion by Justice Samuel Alito to overturn Roe v. Wade (1973) and Planned Parenthood v. Casey (1992), Americans in Munich, Germany demonstrated in front of the American Consulate against what they see as attacks on their reproductive rights and bodily autonomy. The draft opinion ultimately leaves the decision to the states, meaning approximately 50% of the United states will implement some of all of the following: bans on abortion, criminalization of abortion, prerequisites that don’t coincide with the science, and hurdles so high, that abortion is effectively banned. Currently, 23 states are set to restrict abortion if Roe is overturned, with 13 states already having trigger bans in place. 16 states protect abortion rights. The Lancet has posed the rhetorical question “What kind of society has the USA become when a small group of Justices is allowed to harm women, their families, and their communities that they have been appointed to protect?
