These are a type of shallow/missinformed biased critiques that you can give, as well as critiques along the lines of, just deregulate etc.Īt the same time, I think that asking someone who's not from that specific country weather that's Sweden, Germany or Spain, to exactly name the law, provision or regulation you want to change is not realistic. Those who critisise usualy say something along the line of '' Europe is notoriously racist, I have a (non white minority) friend who went there and experienced racism.''Īnd then someone who'll respond with '' well Europeans live in homogenous society, ofcourse they are racist.'' I think that both those who critisise and who critique the critisism have good points. I don't expect them to do high level statistics and comparisons. Obviously we can critique that there's possibility that author cherry picked Denmark because it maybe has the highest approval rate or something, but this is, in my view, gneral quality of journalism. The autor then goes on to provide the stats If you have 12 week ''elective'' limit, but after those 12 weeks, abortion is still available for broad set of resons, then these 2 systems are not similarily restrictive. Critique is centered around defining level of restriction purely on term limits. This is kind of the 2nd point of the article. When the initial comparison is obviously about what gestational age to allow abortions at. This is kind of the point of the article no? That European abortion laws don't have hard dates, but are rather very flexible allowing for abortion in case of broadly defined better health outcomes. Their point was that European abortions are more accessible but list almost no hard dates. This is without taking into consideration financial access. If for example Denmark had restrictive abortion access, would we then not see lower then 93% approval rate is post 12th week abortion demands? So 13 850 on average of pre 12th week abortions and 750 post 12th week abortions in 2021 (which is around 93% approval rate for post 12th week) or around 95% of abortions were pre 12th week (this compares well with data for past US data the author quotes. Of these, 37,500 pregnancies were unintended and 14,600 ended in abortion In Denmark in 2015–2019, there were a total of 88,200 pregnancies annually. In 2021, 803 pregnant people applied to get an abortion in Denmark beyond 12 weeks, and 750 were approved. In Denmark, for example, though the country has a 12-week ban on paper, it’s considered relatively feasible for residents to get approval for abortion beyond that. Lets then engage with the data the author gave us.Įven though more than 90 percent of abortions occur within the first 13 weeks
