Kerry pro-life and pro-choice organisations are reacting to the US Supreme Court’s decision to overturn the 1973 Roe v Wade ruling.
Kerry Life Family has welcomed the ruling which is to end constitutional protections for abortion that had been in place for nearly 50 years in the United States.
The Kerry pro-life organisation says they hope the overturning of Roe v Wade will build a system of real choices based on compassion and to seek better solutions for women and their babies.
Meanwhile, Kerry for Choice has condemned the decision to overturn the 50-year constitutional right to abortion access.
Spokesperson for Kerry for Choice, Paula Dennan says abortion bans create stigma and isolation and cause long-term damage to health and even death.
