IT IS HEALTHCARE
The postcard writer says, "Honestly, what I wrote on the card is the complete opposite of what I felt 20 years ago."

To Never Know Love
This is card is from Switzerland.
From Wikipedia: "Abortion in Switzerland is legal during the first twelve weeks of pregnancy, upon condition of counseling, for women who state that they are in distress. It is also legal with medical indications – threat of severe physical or psychological damage to the woman – at any later time. Switzerland is among the developed nations with the lowest rates of abortions and unwanted pregnancies.
ILLEGAL ABORTIONS KILL WOMEN
This card is from Finland.
According to Wikipedia:
"Abortion in Finland is legal and free of charge under a broad range of circumstances. By international standards, political controversy is mild, and incidence is low."
HOPE
This card is from the Czech Republic.
From Wikipedia:
"In 1957 abortions were legalized in Czechoslovakia, although with restrictions that depended on the current policy of the government. In 1986 the restrictions were lifted, resulting in growth of the number of abortions.
Since 1993, abortions for non-medical reasons have not been paid for by the public health system. The absolute peak of the number of abortions was reached in 1990 at over 100,000 per year, but has declined steadily down since then, reaching less than 1/3 of the peak level in 2004. Reasons for this decrease have included the wider availability of contraception and better sex education."

No Life Robbed or Lost
I received the above card from a Postcrosser in Japan.
According to Wikipedia, "Abortion in Japan is available to women in limited circumstances, including endangerment of their health or economic hardship. Chapter XXIX of the Penal Code of Japan makes abortion de jure illegal in the country, but exceptions to the law are broad enough that it is widely accepted and practiced."
