    You are ignoring a fuck ton about that 15 weeks. The measurement of weeks is different in those countries. I the US we count from the last period which is different than most other countries which is closer to 17 weeks here in the US. It is also much easier to get an abortion on those countries since you can just go to damn near any hospital and have it done for no charge. It’s also not like that 15 weeks is a hard line in most of those countries either. It is very easy to get exceptions.

    There is no comparison and just stating the difference in weeks is horribly ignorant.
