Essentially, accessibility, education, healthcare and social acceptance means people in Canada are on average behaving in a more empowered and responsible way around reproductive health. Less reason for abortions, and those that happen are happening at the correct time for the correct reasons to maximize the healthiest outcomes for everyone involved.

Seems mad to me that in some "developed" parts of the world this is a radical take. There's literally years of evidence supporting it.

It's the US. It's only radical in the US, and the US is barely the war anymore. They are a facist theocracy.

Not even just the states though, there's been opposition of women's healthcare through the UK (where abortions may still be criminalized and aren't as accessible as other parts of the world) and even voiced by the dbag that's trying to become our next prime minister in Canada (most recently in his alignment with outspoken forced birther Jordan Peterson and voting against accessible birth control).

Kind of meaningless article bringing up rates per 1000 women in other countries without doing the same with Canadian numbers. Here's the most recent info I found:

Url is suspicious (2020) but the document says 2024.

Right at the start it has this line

Updated April 18, 2024

So they likely didn't update the URL, because it might break things that linked to it
