54 countries allow abortion, which is about 61 percent of the world population. 97 countries, about 39 percent of the population, have abortion laws that make it illegal according to the pro-abortion Center for Reproductive Law and Policy in New York.

Quote:

* The Alan Guttmacher Institute reports approximately 22 million legal abortions were reported in 1987.
* It is estimated that between four and nine million were not reported, totaling of 26-31 million legal abortions in 1987 alone.
* There were a total of 10-22 million "clandestine" abortions, bringing the total worldwide figure to 36 and 53 million abortions.

Do you have any idea why certain countries allowed it?
Is it because of the population?
