abortion to become a fundamental right in the EU.It’s perhaps no surprise that Scandinavian countries are the most liberal on the continent when it comes to the procedure.
Nearly 82% of respondents in Denmark said abortion was acceptable, more than any other country.Romania was the lowest-ranking EU member state, with just 14% of respondents giving their approval.In Poland, where almost all abortions were outlawed in 2021, nearly one-fifth of respondents said abortion was acceptable.
Polish approval for abortion did increase from 12% in the late 80s, so the overall trend is pointing towards acceptance.A common thread throughout this study is that Scandinavian countries are generally more socially-liberal - the same rings true when it comes to divorce.
There was less of a drastic difference between countries on the issue, with an average above 50% for the entire continent.However, some countries on the European continent have become more conservative about divorce.
