I have no idea how many abortions are performed in each European country past their cut off date but from what Im reading .. its broad and liberal.
The Mississippi law only allows exceptions for medical emergency or "severe fetal abnormality". ........

That is a bit of a stretch. Mississippi's exceptions for medical emergency or "severe fetal abnormality" is similar to European exceptions or in other words about as "broad and liberal." Of the examples below I prefer the French policy.
Germany - permits late-term abortions in cases of rape or if the physical or psychological health of the mother is considered at
risk of serious harm.
(vice any medical reason, even temporary, for the US).
France - Abortions in the second and third trimesters are permitted only if two physicians certify that it is necessary to save the life of the mother, to prevent grave and permanent harm to her health, or the child has a severe and incurable illness.
UK - permits
abortion for socio-economic reasons up to 24 weeks, but up to birth if “there is a substantial risk that if the child were born it would suffer from such physical or mental abnormalities as to be seriously handicapped.”
Netherlands - Abortions after 24 weeks are permitted in certain circumstances, such as when the unborn child has an untreatable “disorder” or is deemed likely to suffer after its birth.
