The US abortion rate is pretty comparable (actually lower) to other countries with abortion access.

Your link doesn't show statistics for any comparable country?

This site has more comprehensive stats, but a bit useless without background on legislation. Mexico for instance has only recently decriminalised it.

The wiki article cites this link:

https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/abortion-...

which does show many comparable countries, but it seems like much of the info is from ~10-15 years ago.

Thanks. Your link shows that the US is above all tracked western countries in terms of abortion rate, which goes against OP's point about the US having a lower abortion rate than comparable countries.
