Countries where it is legal on request (but hopefully not tax payer funded).

Most of Africa and the Middle East has better laws regarding abortion than the U.S.

Yeah and a number of those states also have the death penalty for homosexuality.

So? That has nothing to do with abortion laws.

Oh really?  I think there is quite a trend between states that have banned abortion and those that have banned (on penalty of death) homosexuality.  Context is key, I for one would rather live in a nation where everyone's right to their own body, including women and homosexuals, is thorougly respected:

States that have both illegalized abortion (except in cases of maternal life, health, and/or mental health) and the death penalty for homosexuality (in no particular order):

Afghanistan
Pakistan
Saudi Arabia
Yemen
United Arab Emirates
Sudan
Mauritania
Somalia (the parts that are governed)
Nigeria (under areas ruled under Sharia law)

And that's just states that have both banned abortion and have death penalty for homosexuals, the number for those that have life imprisonment for homosexuality and bans on abortion is quite a bit higher.
