Guyana has very progressive legislation regarding medical termination of pregnancy, yet for many abortion remains a shameful thing to talk about.
The recent rolling back of abortion rights by the Supreme Court in America, coupled with the German Government finally scrapping the Nazi-era law that banned (yes banned) doctors from offering information about abortion procedures just last week, made me realise how easily the rights of women could be snatched away and how through shaming them women could be sneakily robbed of their right to agency.
