So 11 out of the 22 countries where it's legal are not majority Catholic (irrespective of how many people are actually "practicing" Catholics or "cultural" Catholics). Doesn't sound like a wide majority (as the author would have us believe).
Bottom line is that it's not quite as simple as the author attempts to make it...when you actually look at the facts. It's disgusting that any Catholic country...or that any Catholic...would support such a perversion.
But we ought to have our facts straight here.
(BTW sources for data: legalization dates and countries where legal are from Wikipedia; % Catholic are from CIA World Fact Book)
