In the study, Nguyen looked at the abortion laws in 50 European countries, independent states, and semi-autonomous regions with populations exceeding 1 million.

For the 42 states with elective abortion, 39 limit elective abortion to 15 weeks’ gestation or earlier, according to the report. The majority of these 39 states limit elective abortion at 12 weeks or earlier.
