However, when North Carolina recently passed a law banning most abortions after 12 weeks, Democrats and the mainstream media were quick to criticize. But the truth is, North Carolina is now more aligned with Europe than it is with China or North Korea.<\/p>\n<h3>Europe&#8217;s Abortion Laws<\/h3>\n<p>Most European countries cut off elective abortion at 10-12 weeks, with Germany and Belgium allowing up to 14 weeks for elective abortions. After that period, many countries require one or two doctors to agree it\u2019s necessary. Some countries allow later abortions for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/fact-check-did-the-fda-approve-the-drug-thalidomide-in-the-1960s\/\" title=\"FACT CHECK: Did The FDA Approve The Drug Thalidomide In The 1960s?\">severe birth defects<\/a> or abnormalities. In fact, a study released by the Charlotte Lozier Institute found that 47 out of 50 European countries either do not allow elective abortion or limit it to 15 weeks or earlier.<\/p>\n<h3>The United States&#8217; Abortion Laws<\/h3>\n<p>Contrary to popular belief, the United States is one of only seven nations in the world that permits nontherapeutic or elective abortion-on-demand after the 20th week of gestation. Mississippi lawmakers wrote in defense of a ban on most abortions after the first 15 weeks of pregnancy, stating that &#8220;fully 75% of all nations do not permit abortion after 12 weeks gestation, except (in most instances) to save the life and to preserve the physical health of the mother.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Despite this, many Democrats and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/the-media-outlets-that-gave-a-pass-to-black-lives-matter-and-antifa-violence\/\" title=\"The Media Outlets That Gave A Pass To Black Lives Matter And Antifa Violence\">media outlets continue<\/a> to criticize North Carolina&#8217;s abortion law, claiming it is an assault on women&#8217;s reproductive freedom.
