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.
