Very helpful information, Mod. Thanks.

To interpret some of the info into real life, most of Northern Europe is essentially abortion on demand ove 16. Latin speaking Europe and Ireland are a bit more restrictive and there are well established routes to those countries with less restrictive limits.

Even better news is that with education, abortion rates (that is the numer of live births divided number of abortions) are dropping even as abortion is becomming more available. Given that the board is membership is mostly Yanks, it would be helpful if someone could find similar info for the US. I understand that availability varies by state. Japan and the US have the highest abortion rates in the industrial world.
