Divorce and abortion - a foreign perspective

Jim, a designer from Virginia looks at the recent survey on divorce and abortion in Malta. He is saddened by the selfishness of men:

In a place where abortion (and divorce) is illegal, it's not too surprising that the poll estimates that 95.3% oppose abortion in most cases. Here's the news from Malta. I am, however, saddened that men can be so selfish:

It is significant that in all three cases, males were more numerous than females among favouring abortion: rape: 19.3% vs.16%; incest: 10.7% vs. 7.3%; seriously defective baby: 12% vs. 6%".
