Which country has the best abortion laws in your view?

[RI]

The Vatican

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.

Of the 557 Vatican citizens in 2005, 74% were clergy of some sort (10% Cardinals, 53% other ordained, remaining 11% could include nuns, I think), 18% were Swiss guard, and 8% were lay people. Of those 43 lay people, most are probably male, but any spouses of male lay people can also be Vatican citizens, meaning there are probably a dozen or so women who any abortion-related laws could pertain too, not that there would ever be anywhere to get an abortion in Vatican City.

Israel, Colombia, South Korea, Poland, and some countries in Western and Southern Africa, I guess.

Yeah, I read that.

I was looking at these UN stats. They also list the total population as 784 in 2009, so maybe there has been a lot female immigration since 2005?

The term "population" includes residents without citizenship, I think.

Correct.

[Obnoxiously Slutty Girly Girl]

Well citizens or not, there are women in the Vatican City. I would hope that the women who live there would be the sort to oppose abortion even if it weren't against the law.

Agreed.

It's moot, you can just go to Italy to get an abortion anyway.

Unfortunately. But hopefully things will change for the better in time.

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

This.

Chile is a very conservative country. Women and men still have different voting booths there.

Countries which i don't consider very conservative also have that, like Argentina for example

I say we allow Alabama to write the abortion laws.
