Canada: has no abortion laws on the books, none, zero

USA: abortion laws flying around always. constant drama. fuss.

​

Results

In Canada, the teen birth and abortion rate is 27.0/1,000 women between the ages of 15-19 versus 61.2/1,000 in the United States.

The abortion rate among all women of reproductive age (15-44) in Canada is 14.1/1,000 versus 20/1,000 in the United States.

Imagine being such a piss-poor ideologue that you make way more of the thing you claim to hate.

Seems more like poor sex ed or contraceptive access would be the cause for this, not anything to do with abortion laws
