Map of Abortion Laws Worldwide



Click the above map to see an enlarged version. The map shows the legal standing of abortion across the globe.

When you look at the map, what patterns do you see...? What meaning(s) should we take away from this map?

For more information on women's rights in a global context, you might consider poking around at the Human Rights Watch website. From the front page, you can go to the homepage for "women's rights" by pressing the appropriate button along the left side of the front page.

NOTE: This map was originally posted by my cousin Phil, who runs a really popular blog, "Finland for Thought," about being a young libertarian ex-pat in Finland. If you are interested, you can check it out here: Finland for Thought. Phillip snagged the map, originally, from the Wikipedia entry on abortion.

  1. The map is incorrect in at least one place, unfortunately: abortion is not illegal in Germany, enforced or otherwise.

    knew of any message boards that cover the same topics
    talked about in this article? I'd really love to be a part of online community where I can get feed-back from other knowledgeable individuals that share the same interest. If you have any recommendations, please let me know. Appreciate it!

    get home. I'm shocked at how quick your blog loaded on my mobile .. I'm not even using WIFI,
    just 3G .. Anyhow, wonderful site!

  4. Hmm it looks like your website ate my first comment (it was super long) so I
    guess I'll just sum it up what I had written and say, I'm thoroughly enjoying your blog.

    I as well am an aspiring blog writer but I'm still new to everything. Do you have any recommendations for newbie blog writers? I'd certainly appreciate it.

  6. First of all I want to say excellent blog! I had a quick question which I'd like to ask if you don't mind.
    I was curious to know how you center yourself and clear your thoughts prior to writing.
    I've had trouble clearing my thoughts in getting my thoughts out there. I truly do enjoy writing however it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes tend to be wasted just trying to figure out how to begin. Any recommendations or hints? Appreciate it!
