Can you give a readers digest explanation on Euro-style restrictions AND, is this going to be something that will put me out on my ledge again?! Thanks.

There are some good graphs in link below - majority of the Western European countries according to 3rd graph in middle of page allow abortion up until 12 weeks.

Generally, Euro countries draw the line around 15ish weeks, with later exceptions for the health of the mother. (Actual health, not 'mental health')

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/6235557.stm ....as is typical with these maps, you have to actually read each country and not just look at the map. "On request" doesn't mean "unlimited".

Example:

FRANCE

Availability: On request

Gestational limit: 12 weeks

Conditions: The woman must claim to be in a "state of distress" because of her pregnancy. After 12 weeks, abortions are allowed only if the pregnancy poses a grave danger to the woman's health or there is a risk the child will suffer from a severe illness recognised as incurable. If this is the case, two doctors must confirm the risk to the health of the woman or foetus.
