Soviet Union first to legalize women’s right to an abortion

"Abortion laws and their enforcement have fluctuated through various eras. In much of the Western world during the 20th century, abortion-rights movements were successful in having abortion bans repealed. While abortion remains legal in most of the West, this legality is regularly challenged by anti-abortion groups. The Soviet Union under Vladimir Lenin is recognized as the first modern country to legalize induced abortion on demand.[2] China used induced abortion as a state ordered birth control method during an effort to reduce the population in the twentieth century."
