Are you serious? lol

Maybe let’s start with the basic one that’s abortion?



This is a map of countries in which abortion is legal:

This is a map of democratic countries:

You might notice a resemblance. Want to do gay rights next?


Your maps appear to support the premise put forward by aaomidi.

The USofA is labelled there as not very democratic, grouped as with "Flawed Democracies" and the premise put forward was that US Democracy was stripping rights (eg: abortion) and perhaps wasn't a great example of a good democracy.


> You might notice a resemblance.

Only if you really-really squint and look only at americas, while ignoring most of Eurasia and huge chunk of Africa where most of the world's population happens to live.

I hardly see much of a global correlation here.


Try another? The abortion issue is clearly used by either side to drive division, they don't want to fix it. So it's less a stripping and more of a peasants stuck in the middle kind of thing.
