I really like this transparency, it shows very clearly the difference between South and North.

This is really interesting....the developed western world and the former (or currently) communist world permit abortions in any case. I suppose once a country becomes affluent and/or human beings lose their dignity (as in communism), it is okay to kill a baby. Or is it the other away around? Killing our babies allows us to be more affluent?

...or countries that protect women's rights, including reproductive choice, tend to be more affluent...

...and the phrase "abortion permitted with no restrictions" is very misleading. Most countries, including many states in the US, place significant restrictions on when and how an abortion can be performed. Additionally, unofficial but very real restrictions to access (87% of US counties have no abortion provider, most US women and girls do not have sufficient finances to access abortion within allowed time periods) put this choice well out of the reach of many women and girls.

I have just been introduced to the magazine, and I love it. But your transparency of abortion laws is quite misleading. Roe v. Wade is in danger of being overturned in the U.S., and the cost of the procedure itself is extremely prohibitive. There are quite a few restrictions on abortion in this country, but your map makes it seem like it's available to any and every woman. It's not. It's irresponsible to say that there are no restrictions in the U.S.
