You are leaving out the part where most European countries allow abortions past their cutoff mark for "broad socio-economic and mental health" reasons.

I have no idea how many abortions are performed in each European country past their cut off date but from what Im reading .. its broad and liberal.

The Mississippi law only allows exceptions for medical emergency or "severe fetal abnormality".

If a 19 year old that is 18 weeks pregnant can say she wants an abortion bc shes a student or working pay check to pay check and she can then get an exception to the 15 weeks ... thats far different from the reality of the Mississippi law.

inverse example (and maybe a bad example) but 45 States have exceptions for minors to drink alcohol but no one would say the drinking age in America is 16.
