Portugal is only traditionally a Catholic country, most of the population doesn't practice. The dictatorship in Portugal during the early 1900s was atheist- I don't know if that's the same one that Bono is talking about. Religious were arrested, which is why the three children from Fatima got into such trouble with the government.

Malta is by far most conservative. Poland is also very conservative too, not allowing gay marriage, against abortion, etc.

What dictatorship in the early 1900's? There was no dictatorship in the early 1900's. well, except that one year thing in 1917, but then they shot the guy and it wore of. I'm talking about the New State, from 1933 to 1974. That's the dictatorship I'm talking about. I think what you're talking about is the 1st Republic, that was atheist, or at least seculrarist, but it was not a dictatorship. It lasted from 1910 till 1926.
The "three children from Fatima" got into such trouble simply because it was the WWI at the time, and the govt didn't want any trouble. besides, the Catholic Church wasn't too happy about them either.

No, it was completely because of the atheistic government- the apparitions happened in 1917.

I just looked up the law on the UN website.

Grounds on which abortion is permitted:

   To save the life of the woman   Yes
   To preserve physical health   Yes
   To preserve mental health   Yes
   Rape or incest   Yes
   Foetal impairment   Yes
   Economic or social reasons   Yes
   Available on request   Yes


Here

But either way, the US also has abortion legal, though I wouldn't consider it a socially conservative state, but rather a nation with a lot of social conservatives. A socially conservative state are nations like El Salvador and Honduras.
