In Latin America and the Caribbean, millions of women and women of childbearing potential continue to face barriers to safe and legal abortion. Some are forced to risk their lives with unsafe procedures; others are criminalized during obstetric emergencies or for making decisions about their own bodies. <\/p>\n
