America’s abortion extremism
Did you know the U.S. is the third worst country in the world on with no specific gestational limits?
Here’s a look at the seven countries. We sorted them from the most liberal on gestational limits to the least:
North Korea and Vietnam: No specified gestational limit, though regulatory mechanisms vary.
China: “Abortion is virtually freely available in China, and there are no defined time limits for access to the procedure,” according to Pew Research Center. China now has a “two-child” policy, and human-rights advocates have criticized China’s population and family planning laws.
United States: No federal ban on gestational limit, but 43 states have prohibitions on gestational limits, from 20 to 24 weeks, or the point of “viability,” according to the Guttmacher Institute, a reproductive rights research group. There are some exceptions made, usually for the life or health of the mother.
Then come Canada, Netherlands and Singapore.
Only North Korea, Vietnam and China are ahead of the United States in abortion extremism.
