    Which country has one of the world’s most restrictive abortion laws—banning abortion services even in cases of rape, incest, life, health or serious fetal abnormality?

    • Kenya

    • El Salvador

    • India

    • Spain

    Correct Answer
    A. El Salvador
    Explanation
    Since 1998, El Salvador has enforced one of the most extreme abortion bans in the world—prohibiting abortion even to save a woman’s life and threatening harsh criminal penalties on both women and physicians. In 2012, the Center, along with La Agrupación Ciudadana, a local group, filed a case seeking justice on behalf of Manuela—a woman sentenced to 30 years in prison after having a miscarriage.

    From 2011 to 2013, states in the U.S. approved this many new restrictions on abortion access:

    • 55

    • 105

    • 155

    • 205

    Correct Answer
    A. 205
    Explanation
    According to the Guttmacher Institute, 205 restrictions on abortion have been enacted in states between 2011 and 2013—more than were enacted in the entire previous decade. In response, the Center for Reproductive Rights is fighting for passage of the federal Women's Health Protection Act, a bill that would prohibit states from enacting many of these laws—laws which impose unconstitutional restrictions on reproductive health care providers, interfere with women’s personal decision making, and block access to safe and legal abortion services.

    In August, United Nations human rights experts called on this country to address high maternal mortality rates:

    • Sudan

    • Saudi Arabia

    • Belize

    • United States

    Correct Answer
    A. United States
    Explanation
    Over the past 20 years, maternal deaths in the U.S. have risen 136%, with black women dying at a rate 3-4 times that of white women. The Center for Reproductive Rights and SisterSong reported on this human rights crisis before a UN committee in August—and they promptly responded. The UN flagged high maternal mortality rates among African American communities in the U.S. and called for key policy changes to address racial disparities in the field of sexual and reproductive health.
