U.S. abortion policy shouldn't emulate China or North Korea. We should be more like Europe.

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

48% : This fall, the Supreme Court will take up Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, involving a Mississippi statute adopted with the legislature's bipartisan support in 2018 that limits abortion on demand after 15 weeks.
46% : The question the court will face this fall is whether the Constitution allows any effective limit on abortion before the 1973 definition of viability ("usually placed at about seven months," the Roe court said), though advances in science and medicine over the past 50 years continue to allow babies to survive outside the womb at a younger and younger age.
46% : If the court upholds the Mississippi law, it will likely involve narrowing the scope of Roe v. Wade, which, along with subsequent abortion jurisprudence, permits abortion through the full term of pregnancy.
45% : So, who is following the policy example from Europe - pro-life legislators in Mississippi, or politicians in Washington who support abortion on demand until term?
43% : Brussels won't likely be inviting Mississippi to join the European Union anytime soon, but its refusal to do so would not be based on The Magnolia State's abortion law, which differs little from most on the continent:►Great Britain and Finland are among the eight European nations that do not permit abortion on demand, though some allow abortion based on exceptions for specific medical or socioeconomic conditions.
41% : In the United States, 0 out of 50 states have enforceable limits on abortion at 15 weeks.
33% : Republicans would miss legal abortion, just like they would have missed Obamacare
