The abortion she's about to have would be illegal in many European countries, where the time limit is 12 weeks, unless the foetus is severely disabled or the mother's life is at risk.

Americans are unaware that we have some of the worst abortion laws in the world.

World Abortion Law Map

Green
Abortion never legal, or life-of-mother exception

Yellow
Abortion legal in "hard cases", such as rape, incest, and/or deformed child.

Red
Abortion legal for social reasons (e.g. mother says she can't afford a child), or to protect the mother's "mental health" (definitions and requirements vary).

Purple
Abortion legal at any time during pregnancy for any reason.

There ought to be a different color for China, representing “Abortion mandatory for women who already have one child.”

It is a great irony that most of the countries where abortion is not allowed are Muslim.

IIRC - Some US money goes to China to fund their abortions. If not currently I’m fairly sure it was the case in the past.

It’s an interesting map, but I gotta say it doesn’t match the other moral tones in those parts of the world. The muslim green areas where women are barely people? The african areas where genocides continue? China’s forced abortion policy if you already have a child is equal to the US because they are both purple? India is morally above the US - a country that still has a rigid caste system that considers the lowest caste not even to be people?

You could make all the red countries essentially purple because these are the same excuses they use in the purple countries - the very above article shows how the UK has used its safeguard laws to essentially give abortion on demand.

It should also be noted that the US has the most people in the world fighting to end abortion.

A picture really is worth a thousand words.

How can we even hope for God's mercy on our nation?

Isn’t there an error, on your map, about Poland ?
