Actually that is not true. 95% of women in Europe live in countries that where abortion is available on request. I know there are term restrictions however the exemptions available in Europe essentially make all abortions available if needed. The 15 week proposal by Youngkin is so limiting it is farcical. If Republicans ever decide to get serious about reducing abortion and reducing late term abortions in particular, they need to first get serious about health care and reduction of poverty those are the two biggest driving factors in late term abortions in the United States despite most abortions being done by 13 weeks
