Have
you ever wondered what abortion laws look like around the world? You
can do a quick Google search or you can go to this site http://www.pregnantpause.org/lex/world02.jsp. There’s a wealth of information, but it’s presented as a color-coded table which makes it very easy to read.
Brace yourself. We are the most permissive, along with human rights abusers like China, Cuba, and North Korea.
Mark Steyn wrote an interesting but terrifying book a few years back called America Alone
which discussed how many countries were in decline because they weren’t
maintaining their populations. From the chart, many of those countries
also have some of the more permissive abortion laws.
Do
you know what’s even more interesting, though? Our recent enemies,
Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya have some of the most restrictive abortion
laws. I don’t pretend to understand what’s driving these laws,
certainly a combination of tradition, religion, and culture. But how is
it possible that countries that sponsor suicide bombers and terrorist
acts against women and children can hold unborn babies in higher regard
than we do?
