- European countries also have less permissive abortion laws
- than the United States. Typically, abortion is allowed in the
- earliest weeks of pregnancy, but strong justification is needed
- for abortion in the latter part of pregnancy. For example,
- France has a cutoff of 10 weeks; in Sweden it's 18 weeks.
- Compare that to the United States, where abortion-on-demand
- is legal throughout the term of pregnancy, all the way up to
- the point of birth.
