Romania: Dangerous Rollback of Reproductive Rights | Human Rights Watch | Text Version
text.hrw.org
  • The sexual and reproductive health and rights of women and girls, including the right to abortion and family planning methods, have been significantly eroded in Romania.
  • Romanian authorities are not only failing to uphold sexual and reproductive health rights but is often enabling efforts to block women and girls from exercising these rights.
  • Romanian authorities should ensure that unmonitored and unregulated processes in the healthcare system, lack of information, availability, or affordability are not impeding women and girls from making informed decisions about their health.

    Romanian kids are cheap, especially the weak ones. My friend was adopted from Romania, where he was left on a train as a newborn. He was sickly and had a 50/50 chance so they, I kid you not, got him at half price. (With their purchase of a full priced child of course)

      That was a practice that occurred right after the revolution when the economy was in shambles and hyperinflation was devastating the working class. Romania has progressed a lot since then, and such practices are no longer common place, but are outright illegal and extremely out of the ordinary.
