In jurisdictions with better access to abortion people choose to abort the kind of "doesn't stand a chance" pregnancies that people in jurisdictions who can't access abortion wind up giving birth to only for them to die shortly thereafter.
Correct me if I'm wrong but aren't both jurisdictions equally averse to abortion? Sure, you'd find a few exceptions here and there but both countries have banned abortion? Both places have banned abortion where the mother's life may be in danger. Iran additionally allows abortions in cases where the fetus suffers from a major medical condition (genetic defects like Down's Syndrome don't count) which doesn't let the future child live a viable life.
