The push to legalise abortion has failed to address the real needs of women and instead, promoted abortion as necessary for women’s participation in society, argued the chief executive of an Australian independent think tank.

The comment comes one week after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned the 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling to restore the ability of state governments to make decisions on abortion, and uphold a Mississippi law that makes most abortions illegal after 15 weeks of pregnancy.
