IIRC - most of Europe "allows" abortions, but only during the first trimester!

I'm pinging Michael to this (german conservative) - he will at least know the laws in Germany!!

I don´t know for the other European countries, but in Germany, abortion is generally illegal and a crime. However, the crime is not punishable if the child is aborted within the first three months by a doctor and if the woman has gotten an advice in a (state or church) counseling centre. The counseling takes a few hours, and between advice and abortion shall be a few days at least.

Eventually, abortion is legal until birth if there´s a realistic possibility that the mother may die because of the birth (this exception doesn´t lead to abuse).
