It would have been useful if you presented some statistics that disagreed with the cross-country analysis offered by the authors (particularly with the availability of data such as the fall in Italian abortions from approximately 235,000 in 1984 to 150,000 in 1993).

#3 (referring to #1) You quote from the paper why "pro-choice" is not the answer...
This does not make sense. Could you have another go?

The paper suggests that decriminalisation is important as "it makes it possible to evaluate the true dimension of the problem and set in motion the process to reduce it". The data supports that premise. You're going to have to try a tad harder to offer a worthwhile critique
