On June 24th, the U.S. Supreme Court overturned the Roe v. Wade, a landmark case that upheld the constitutional rights to abortion for almost 50 years. VOA’s Ndimyake Mwakalyelye spoke to Martin Onyango, head of legal strategies for Africa at the Center for Reproductive Rights about how abortion-rights supporters are disappointed and outraged by this ruling. Martin shares his thoughts about the lack of protection for fundamental human rights. Although this decision has no legal implication on the African continent, he believes governments in Africa will continue their attempts to deny women access to abortion care.
