The Dutch constitution - within it a commitment to upholding international rule of law - offers so many clear guidance for an equitable, just and sustainable society.👇

As the maternal mortality rate dropped nationally, it rose in Texas by 33%.

Texas Banned Abortion. Then Sepsis Rates Soared.
ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind analysis is the most detailed look yet into a rise in life-threatening complications for women experiencing pregnancy loss under Texas’ abortion ban.
