GLOBAL – New Reports Bring Global Solutions to Bolster U.S. Lawmakers in the Fight to Protect Reproductive Freedom

Beyond Borders is a five-report series with three released already (and two additional forthcoming). The reports and executive summary are available at the SiX Reproductive Freedom Leadership Council website.

Available Now:

  1. Abortion as Health Care – Highlights policy models that integrate abortion into standard medical practice, improving outcomes and reducing stigma.
  2. Critiques of Abortion Criminalization – Documents global trends toward removing criminal law from the regulation of abortion as the United States regresses in this area.
  3. Regulation of Religious Refusals for Abortion Care – Explores how democracies worldwide have addressed conscience-based objections while ensuring patients can access comprehensive reproductive health care.

Coming Soon:

  • Regulation of Abortion Decision-Making Among Young People (expected early December 2025) – Will analyze how countries address parental involvement in abortion care while not compromising young people’s privacy, safety, and reproductive autonomy.
  • Countering Legal Personhood for Prenatal Life (expected Q1 2026) – Will examine how countries have rejected fetal personhood frameworks that undermine pregnant people’s rights and autonomy.
