Well, I could answer that question. The question you're asking is an entirely different issue.

Most Western and Northern European countries have much lower abortion rates than the United States. Why? Well, they have better welfare systems, a smaller rich-poor divide, a more comprehensive job placement system, free healthcare, sex ed starting in first grade, and freely available contraceptives, often at the school nurse's office.

Any or all of these factors could be responsible for the low abortion rates.
