(“When countries were grouped according to the grounds under which abortion was legal, we did not find evidence that abortion rates for 2010–14 were associated with the legal status of abortion  (table 4). The rate was 37 abortions per 1000 women  (34–51) where abortion is prohibited altogether or allowed only to save a woman's life, and 34 (29–46) where it is available on request.”)
