... that a plan to reform Sierra Leone's abortion law was announced by President Julius Maada Bio soon after the United States overturned its constitutional right to abortion?

Source: [1] “At a time when sexual and reproductive health rights for women are either being overturned or threatened, we are proud that Sierra Leone can once again lead with progressive reforms,” said President Bio, referring to the US supreme court’s decision to overturn the constitutional right to abortion, which has drawn criticism around the world.

Actually, I just thought of this hook that I like better:
ALT1: ... that Sierra Leone is the only country where a British law from 1861 still bans abortion?

Source: [2] Sierra Leone is one of several former British colonies that inherited England’s 1861 Offences Against the Person Act, but it is the only one where that code is still in effect.

Length date, hook ok. Earwig flagged possible violation, but basically all blockquotes of statements. No QPQ needed. I prefer ALT1. --Soman (talk) 12:10, 22 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
