On the other hand, the American abortion statistics that you posted are per 10,000 women of reproductive age, which means it's obviously going to be higher. I used 2008 Guttmacher and Russian statistics for a fair comparison with the Russian measure.
I also noted that total abortions in 2013 in both Russia and the United States are roughly the same in number, again according to Guttmacher and the Russian government.
Given that Russia has half the total population we do, it doesn't really make sense that we could have more abortions than they would, even if you don't want to do the math.

You might have claimed that, but you’re wrong.
Russia had 885,000 abortions in 2013.
The United States had 1.3 million.
I don’t know where you got your Russia stats, but your American states leave out the states which don’t report abortions, which happen to be the ones which performed the most abortions, like California.
Actually, I thought you were claiming 1.06 million in the US. I now see you previously stated 1.2 million. That might approximate the real number, if AGI believes that California and the other non-reporting states saw the number of abortions drop as dramatically as other states (although I’d question that logic.)
