The short version is that USA was more left than all EU members states on abortion -

Sadly that WAS true. However I live in California and it still is true.

Left here in California AKA me is actually left for the European Union too. That’s why your original comment struck me as weird it’s because for me and my state which is bigger than many European countries in both size and economic might is as left as the European Union.

I do not believe the overton window shift applies to California only the USA
