The partner of an American woman ‘left to die’ in Malta after being refused an emergency abortion has hit out at the Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe v Wade.

Speaking to openDemocracy after the court’s decision was announced, Jay Weeldreyer said: “Any place that implements laws like Malta is sentencing women to suffer and potentially die.

“Strict bans on abortion will kill innocent women.”
