You're dead wrong - forcing Western abortion laws on traditional societies is cultural imperialism at its worst. What gives you the right to tell devoutly religious communities in Africa, Latin America, or Asia that their thousand-year-old beliefs about protecting unborn life are primitive nonsense?Look at the numbers - 24 countries still completely ban abortion [1], and these aren't backward nations. They're places like Malta, Philippines, and Honduras with deep Catholic traditions, or Muslim-majority countries following Islamic law. Countries banning abortion are concentrated in Africa, Asia, and Latin America [1] - that's billions of people whose governments reflect their citizens' moral convictions about protecting unborn life.
Your "global legalization" fantasy ignores that women get abortions at the same rates whether it's legal or not [1]. The law isn't stopping abortions - it's expressing these societies' values about when life begins. Who are you to tell Hondurans their constitutional ban protecting life from conception is wrong? Or that Filipino Catholics should abandon their beliefs because Western feminists demand it?
This isn't about women's health - it's about imposing secular liberal values on traditional societies that never asked for them.

it is mostly true about the security of women's health but if we legalize this there will be rules exacty to respect women's pride and security. And what about women who has been raped by someone and they get pregnant ?? that mean they should keep their raper's babies ?

You're playing the emotional card, but rape cases represent a tiny fraction of abortions - only 1% according to women themselves [1]. You're using the worst possible scenario to justify imposing Western values on billions of people who see abortion as murder.
Even in your rape example, you're wrong about the outcomes. Over three million women have experienced pregnancy resulting from rape during their lifetimes [1], with an estimated 32,101 pregnancies resulting from rape each year [2]. But most countries with abortion bans already have exceptions for rape - you're creating a false choice.
The real issue is you want to force secular liberal abortion-on-demand onto societies that believe life begins at conception. Only 1% of all women had an abortion because it was a result of rape, and 0.5% because of incest [1]. You're using extreme cases to justify unlimited abortion access for any reason at any time.
What about the "women's pride and security" of mothers in Catholic Philippines who see abortion as killing their grandchildren? Or Muslim women in Indonesia who believe Allah determines when life begins? Your "rules to respect women" means forcing them to abandon their deepest religious convictions about protecting innocent life.
You're not liberating these women - you're colonizing their consciences.
