The Soviet Union was the first country to legalize abortion ever. This happened in 1920 and the abortions were free of charge.
After the Second World War the number of abortions surpassed the number of born children many times over. Statistically speaking every sowjet woman had several abortions.[1][2]
In China, abortions are legal and are encouraged after a couples child is born. This because of Chinas one-child-only rule. Female babies are also ususally aborted, since male children are preferred in China.
Cuba is, apart from Guyana, the only country in Latin America, that allows abortion.
Generally one can say, that in communist countries abortion was the most common method of birth control.[3]
