State Innovation Exchange (SiX) and O’Neill Institute | November 20, 2025
SiX and the O’Neill Institute have compiled a series of global legal comparison reports that highlight trends in abortion law and policy around the world and situate the United States within the broader global context. Each of the reports below summarizes global public health standards, international human rights norms, and legislative and jurisprudential trends. While not intended to be comprehensive reviews of all international and comparative law, these reports aim to increase visibility of approaches used to expand access to abortion care around the world.
