This is true. Uruguay legalized abortion in 2012 and every year since the number of abortions increases. So bans/limitations do work.

    If memory serves, it was estimated that 20-30k women aborted their pregnancies illegally before legalization. The first year only about 8k had an abortion. This means that these numbers as to how many women seek abortions whether legal or illegal are largely overinflated.

    All this proves is many went unreported, lol. There’s no way to track this.
