Abortion access is a critical component of comprehensive reproductive health care; it is vital for maintaining bodily autonomy as well as promoting individual and community health, safety, and well-being. In the United States, approximately [one in four] people with the capacity for pregnancy will seek first trimester abortion care by the age of 45. Both medication and procedural abortions are safe, with complications being rare. Despite this, 89% of US counties do not provide abortion care, and thousands of people face numerous barriers each to access the care they critically need. These barriers can take the form of restrictive state or federal laws, financial limitations, religious prohibitions within certain health systems, and widespread stigma associated with being an abortion provider. 3, record 1, English, - abortion%20access

Là où l'accès à l'avortement est limité, il est fréquent que l'interruption de grossesse ne puisse être pratiquée qu'au deuxième trimestre, ce qui en augmente les risques. On a tout lieu de croire que cela favorise également les avortements illégaux et dangereux. Il est prouvé qu'une législation très sévère peut être extrêmement préjudiciable aux adolescentes. À l'échelle mondiale, on observe une mortalité maternelle supérieure dans les pays où la législation de l'avortement est restrictive. [...] À ce sujet, la CIPD [Conférence internationale sur la population et le développement] a indiqué que les pays doivent veiller à ce que les programmes et les attitudes des prestataires de santé ne restreignent pas l'accès des adolescent(e)s aux services et aux informations dont ils/elles ont besoin [...] 2, record 1, French, - acc%C3%A8s%20%C3%A0%20l%27avortement

Service agencies are a specialized form of departmental corporations established through tailored legislation to perform a highly operational function or service for which there is usually no private sector competition. Service agencies are financed through parliamentary appropriations and user fees. Each service agency's governing management boards and individual organizational arrangements and responsibilities are prescribed by its legislation and, as a consequence, each has varying levels of autonomy. 3, record 2, English, - service%20organization

Les organismes de service constituent un type d'établissement public spécialisé qui est créé au moyen d'une loi spéciale en vue d'exercer une fonction ou de fournir un service hautement opérationnel qui n'engage généralement aucune concurrence dans le secteur privé. Les organismes de service sont financés au moyen de crédits parlementaires et de frais d'utilisation. Les conseils de gestion qui dirigent ces organismes ainsi que les modalités et responsabilités organisationnelles sont énoncés dans la loi constitutive.

Economic liberalism is a philosophy and programme of collective action that favours individual autonomy and responsibility(civil, economic, political freedom) as an end in its own right. It advocates the largest possible use of private property and competition as a means to coordinate autonomous human actions. While not denying a role for the state, liberalism rejects most types of coercion and interference in economic life by governments and interest groups. 2, record 15, English, - liberalism
