On Wednesday, the highest court in El Salvador denied an abortion to a woman with a pregnancy that is so high-risk that doctors say it could kill her. Beatriz, 22, is carrying a 26-week fetus with anencephaly, a birth defect that means part of the brain and skull are missing and that the baby will almost certainly die at birth. Beatriz?s doctors say the abortion is necessary for Beatriz?s health and perhaps to save her life. But by a vote of 4?1, the Salvadoran judges ruled that in light of the country?s absolute ban on abortion, ?the rights of the mother cannot be privileged over those? of the fetus.
El Salvador?s complete ban on abortions has become relatively rare worldwide, as the first map below shows. Keep scrolling and you will see enormous variation in how countries (and states in the U.S.) regulate abortion and birth control. Our main sources of data for these maps are the?United Nations, the?Guttmacher Institute, the?Population Reference Bureau, the National Conference of State Legislatures, and Harvard University's Center for Population and Development Studies.
The maps reflect continuing change: Uruguay recently legalized first-trimester abortions, and courts in Columbia, Brazil, and Argentina have begun to allow them in certain cases. Meanwhile in the United States, Republican-led statehouses have been tightening restrictions since the 2010 election. It?s the largest wave of legislation in the decades since Roe v. Wade.
