Only 4 countries allow unrestricted late term abortions: NK, China, the US, Canada.

lifenews.com

Most countries don't allow them after 12-18 months unless there's a threat to the mother's life.

You mentioned Israel. I note that though they do allow abortions (19-20K per yr) unrestricted abortion is NOT a right there. It has to be approved by a committee containing 2 doctors and a social worker and the committees operate under the following conditions:

..... A termination committee can approve an abortion, under sub-section 316a, [5] in the following circumstances:

  1. The woman is younger than the legal marriage age in Israel (which presently is 18, raised from 17 in April 2013) [6] or older than forty.
  2. The pregnancy was conceived under illegal circumstances ( rape, statutory rape etc.), in an incestuous relationship, or outside of marriage.
  3. The fetus may have a physical or mental birth defect.
  4. Continued pregnancy may put the woman's life in risk, or damage her physically or mentally.

    IOW it's highly restricted compared to here.
