Seriously, WTF is your problem. You are also on mnottertails' level of late. Muslim law encourages abuses, our laws discourage abuses.
I suppose it depends on a) whether 'Muslim law' is actually followed in a given country and b) what you consider to be abuse. For instance, some would say that forcing a woman to bring to term a foetus that she doesn't want is abuse, and re that:
"Muslim views on abortion are shaped by the Hadith as well as by the opinions of legal and religious scholars and commentators. In Islam, the fetus is believed to become a living soul after four months of gestation,[1] and abortion after that point is generally viewed as impermissible. Many Islamic thinkers recognize exceptions to this rule for certain circumstances; indeed, Azizah Y. al-Hibri notes that "the majority of Muslim scholars permit abortion, although they differ on the stage of fetal development beyond which it becomes prohibited."[2] According to Sherman Jackson, "while abortion, even during the first trimester, is forbidden according to a minority of jurists, it is not held to be an offense for which there are criminal or even civil sanctions."[3]
In practice, access to abortion varies greatly between different Muslim-majority countries. In countries like Turkey and Tunisia, abortions are unconditionally legal on request.[4] On the other hand, in countries like Iraq and Egypt, abortion in only legal if the life of the mother is threatened by continuing the pregnancy.[4] There is no Muslim-majority country that completely bans abortion."

Compare that with the situation re abortion in the USA now ... and the way it may well go in the (near) future.
