The Supreme Court’s pending verdict on Mississippi’s ban on abortions after 15 weeks could upend Roe v. Wade — heating up the abortion wars across the country.
But why do we never hear about abortion protests — for or against — in other countries? Where are the mass marches in India or Brazil or Morocco? They happen, once in a while, but it’s nothing like the constant frenzy the issue provokes in the United States.
Some history. Abortion wasn’t legal anywhere until North Korea legalized it in 1950, soon followed by the Soviet Union, Cuba and other communist nations. The first Western countries to allow it were the Netherlands and the United States in 1973 (though several US states had legalized it in the previous decade, including California and New York).
Ultimately, things would calm down. My evidence? The rest of the world.
