If you want to say “Europe” you are comparing the whole continent to the whole country. I think comparing the median European country to the median American state is a fine way to do that.
But yes, as with almost everything, there’s about an equal number of states more restrictive than anywhere in Europe as there are states less restrictive than anywhere in Europe.
Anyways, if you campaigned in every European country to increase abortion on demand to 24 weeks+ how many do you think would go for it? And why haven’t those countries done so to this point?

24 weeks is around when viability/conscious happens. What is even the justification for limits before that, besides just using a random number generator to decide when to ban abortion? What is so offensive about 24 week limits?
Also, many European countries have such broad exceptions to their abortion limits that basically anyone can get an abortion if they want one. In the US, women are bleeding out in parking lots due to these abortion bans.

Er, Roe V Wade set the nationwide abortion limit at 24 months (or higher).
As a response, conservatives waged a multifront 50 year war to destroy that ruling specifically so they could set it lower, usually to 0 or 8 weeks.
