With the discussion elsewhere:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abortion_law

Under this graph my preferred countries are South Africa, Cambodia, Mainland China, Vietnam, Bahrain, Belgium, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Albania, Belarus, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia, Slovenia, Canada and the United States.

With all those countries why is the US the only country with anti-abortion terrorists?

Dominican Republic, Nicaragua, Uruguay and El Salvador are just as bad.

Wherever it's illegal, obviously.

I'm sure that most of the blue countries legalized abortion on demand through popular legislative procedures, rather than an activist court imposing the view of some political absolutists on the entire nation, making legal what many people in certain regions truly believed to be murder.

Countries where it is illegal except to save the life of the mother.

Pretty stupid to ask for specific countries considering there's only a few big deviations on the issue.

Did you mean all countries where it is legal on request? I notice you haven't listed them all. Is there any particular reason for that?

Chile is way too socially conservative. That's been changing though.

Uruguay doesn't really seem to fit in with other Latin American nations. It's so secular.

I might've just missed some or they only allow it in the first or second trimester.

The current UK laws seem to be the best to me. Wow, for once I'm being moderate.

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.

That is because most states that have banned abortion have done it for conservative sexuality-based reasons rather than for more progressive human rights-based reasons, unfortunately. These countries would be more "anti-choice" than "pro-life" in their take on the issue.

I don't know if the Vatican has female citizens at all. Isn't the state's population (lol) just made up of clergy and Swiss Guard?

Actually according to the UN stats, Vatican City is 52% female. There a some orders of nuns there, I know.
