[QUOTE="Mercury, post: 1491742, member: 17628"] Okay, I had to look this up since I made the claim. [URL]https://www.destatis.de/EN/Themes/Society-Environment/Health/Abortions/_node.html[/URL] Germany has 59 abortions per 10,000 women. 99,948 total abortions for a country of roughly 80M. [URL]https://www.guttmacher.org/gpr/2019/09/us-abortion-rate-continues-drop-once-again-state-abortion-restrictions-are-not-main[/URL] Meanwhile US is 135 per 10,000 women, a total of 862,000 abortions for a nation of roughly 330M (2018 numbers). The last link is interesting as they claim there is a decline in abortion rates in America. The conclusions of the author as to the reasons for the declines (less extra marital sexual activity, contraception usage, attitudes toward abortion) are...intriguing. [/QUOTE]
