It does. One other point occurred to me. Dr. Sedgh or Ms Hoctor pointed out, rightly, earlier that there was quite an unusual situation in the Soviet Union and the other eastern countries, and that is why we have seen this dramatic reduction in the abortion rates. Allowing for that and assuming the rate continues to drop, the differential between lower rates of abortion will actually be larger between countries with freely available abortion and those where it is prohibited. Would that be a fair comment?
