Its interesting to see that your list is all Latin American and mine is all communist

My list is latin american because you had challenged my previous assertion that latin american countries did not have amongst the highest rates in the world. Considering the number of countries in the world, it was ridiculously easy for me to justify my remark. My list reads them as 5, 7, 8, and 9. as of 1999.

It seems obvious to me that in neither of our lists is the legal status of abortion the most important simularity

As I have said, the demand for abortion is almost identical in developed vs. undeveloped countries (34 per 1000 women vs. 39 per 1000) (1999). The difference is in the number of women that are killed by the procedure using illegal vs. legal facilities.

Abortion rates even in those countries could be still higher without the religious opposition

You can make up any "coulds" and "maybes" you like. You could say that maybe there would be more mothers dying from the illegal abortions without the religious opposition to abortion, too. It is certainly up to you to determine your own "arguments." Obviously, I cannot disprove your "maybe", and neither can anyone else. If this is the final resting place of your "argument" that is fine. I cannot dispute a "maybe."
