Sure, but numbers can be compared objectively.

I agree, there is a lot more stigma in the US, especially in more socially conservative circles.

This is also true in every US state the last time I checked.

France and UK have an abortion rate twice as high (~17 per 1000 women) as Germany (~8/1000)[0]. So at least there is enough of a difference that Germans get only half as many abortions as the French or the Britons.
For comparison, the US is sandwiched between Bulgaria and Sweden, around ~21/1000.

I'm not trying to fool anyone. I'm just examining the claim that women in the US, even those in conservative states, are hopelessly oppressed with regards to abortion, so much so that they should be depressed about it.
