The difference is that we all know Africa is not a safe continent. As the middle east is not a safe region. We know people are killed there on a daily basis. It's not like people don't care about that.
But that happening in France is a shock. Because France is supposed to be a safe country. Because of all the terror precautions. You could also ask why everyone cared about Australia when that man took hostages not so long ago. Or why we cared so much about 9/11.
Plus not only have people been murdered - a human right has been attacked, the freedom of speech and France holds this right very high. That makes it that much worse. It was a sad try to scare us into not expressing our opinion.

That's why you should be responsible enough to raise a child when you have sex. Cause contraceptives do not work a 100%.
And I don't care if the DSM-IV manual lists PASS or not. The symptoms are well known between children from families where an abortion took place. Giving it a name or not acknowledging it, doesn't change the way a lot of us feel. Again - I am talking about children with aborted siblings or children who survived an actual abortion or a considered abortion. Very few acknowledge this topic cause we are more like collateral damage.

I grew up in a terrible environment and I am thankful I have not been aborted. Go around: Ask disabled persons, ask children in the foster system, children from difficult families. I don't think the majority would say: You know what? I'd rather be dead than experiencing this.

There are statistics and then there's actually experiencing the aftermath. If you don't suffer from Survivors Syndrome (or PASS in this context) please don't play it down like it's just an excuse. You do not know what it feels like to live with parents who have aborted your sibling and also wanted to abort your sister but decided otherwise. I will always feel like I took my siblings place. Like I do not deserve to live. That feeling will never go away for me. I do not say that women don't have reasons for abortion. I understand that sometimes it the only way - when you've been raped or if you are likely to not survive the pregnancy/giving birth or it's extremely dangerous for you. But apart from that: When you sleep with someone you should be responsible enough to raise a child. And if you think you're too young, you can't have a child cause you can't give him/her a good life than don't have sex. It is that easy.

I do not think there are differences within the same language between countries. At least that's what I learned in school.
