Hector Bellerin has called on men to ‘fight’ against abortion laws in the United States after the controversial bill passed in Alabama.
The Arsenal defender spoke out about the issue and urged more people in football to do the same, insisting it affects ‘every human being’.

It has sparked global outrage – and Bellerin insists men should not ‘hide’ from the debate.
He tweeted: “I wanted to see if anyone from our industry would speak out about the abortion bill, but I guess people are too scared.
