China News Service, Beijing, July 9 (Jiang Li) A 10-year-old girl in Ohio, USA, who was pregnant because of rape, was refused an abortion, so she had to travel long distances to Indiana for surgery, causing social shock in the United States.

The refusal of abortion is undoubtedly a secondary injury to girls.

How can American women's human rights be guaranteed when justice overrides women's will?

　　On June 24, local time, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a ruling that formally overturned the Roe v. Wade case and ended the protection of abortion rights.

Ohio immediately announced that women in the state cannot have abortions as long as they are six weeks pregnant, whether it is sexual assault or natural conception, and minors are no exception.

　　The denial of the girl's abortion underscores the severe consequences of the ruling, which saw victims punished and forced to bear children, revealing a lack of responsibility in the United States to protect the rights of women and children.

　　The ruling deprives American women of their freedom and choice, which is undoubtedly a social regression.

U.S. President Joe Biden also spoke, calling the Supreme Court's ruling a "tragic mistake" that set America back 150 years.

This ruling, which blatantly violated the spirit of the US Constitution, undoubtedly gave the US Constitution a blow. It weakened the authority of the Constitution and challenged the important principle of "protecting human rights" stipulated in the Constitution.

　　The United States has long regarded itself as a "human rights defender", but the prohibition of abortion violates the reproductive rights of American women, making the right of free choice into a forced obligation.

In this regard, CNN said on June 27 that this move runs counter to the global trend of more liberal abortions, making the United States an "anomaly" among developed Western countries.

　　The United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, Michelle Bachelet, also commented on the US federal court's ruling.

Access to safe, legal and effective abortion services is deeply rooted in international human rights law and is at the heart of women and girls' ability to choose their own bodies and lives without discrimination, violence and coercion, she said.

　　She noted that the U.S. Supreme Court decision stripped millions of women in the United States of this autonomy, especially those of low-income and ethnic minorities, undermined their fundamental rights, and was a huge blow to women's human rights and gender equality. .

　　At the same time, states dominated by Democrats and Republicans have different positions on the Supreme Court ruling, which will lead to interstate abortions, and the resulting conflicts and disputes over human rights, ethics and government responsibilities are bound to further intensify state and state relations. The contradictions of the federal government have also exacerbated the division of American society.

　　Under the current system of separation of powers in the legislative, executive and judicial powers, this ruling by the Federal Court may be difficult to overturn.

"American-style democracy" is in crisis, how can the human rights of American women be guaranteed?

　　(ECNS) -- The case of a 10-year-old child rape victim in Ohio who was six weeks pregnant but ineligible for an abortion in her own state and forced to travel to Indiana for the procedure has shocked the US and the world. The abortion ban does secondary harm to the girl.

　　How can American women's human rights be guaranteed when judicature act prevails over women's birth preference?

　　The US Supreme Court officially reversed Roe v. Wade on June 24, putting an end to federal abortion rights. It immediately came into force in Ohio, which declares that women with a gestation age of six weeks are not allowed to abort.

　　The case of the 10-year-old girl has spotlit the shocking impact of the US supreme court ruling on abortion, which states that the victim has to give birth against their will. It reveals the negligence of the US government in protecting the human rights of women and children.

　　The overturning of Roe v. Wade deprives US women of freedom and choice, forcing US society to regress. The US President Joe Biden also addressed the decision, saying it was a “tragic error” and the court is literally “taking the country back 150 years.”

　　The ruling, which openly violates the spirit of the American Constitution, has undoubtedly weakened its authority and challenged the vital principle of "safeguarding human rights" stipulated by the Constitution.

　　The US, who has long regarded itself as a "guardian of human rights", has invaded women's reproduction rights with such an abortion ban, turning it a compulsory obligation. CNN also criticized this decision, saying the move counters a global trend towards freer access to abortion and makes the US an “outlier” in the West.

　　Michelle Bachelet Jeria, the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, also criticized the ruling by the federal court. "Access to safe, legal and effective abortion is firmly rooted in international human right law and is at the core of women and girls' autonomy and ability to make their own choices about their bodies and lives, free of discrimination, violence and coercion," Jeria said in a media statement.

　　"This decision strips such autonomy from millions of women in the US, in particular those with low incomes and those belonging to racial and ethnic minorities, to the detriment of their fundamental rights," she added.

　　Besides, states dominated by the US Democratic Party and Republican Party are divided on the abortion ban, which may lead to cross-states abortion. The resulting conflicts and disputes on human rights, ethics and government responsibilities will inevitably further intensify the contradiction between the state and the federal government, and further split the country.

　　However, the decision made by the federal court, protected by the country's system of separation of powers, is hard to be overturned once again. As US-style "democracy" is beset with a crisis, how can American women's human rights be guaranteed?
