*All* of western Europe?

That I can't say for sure, particularly since I've never been involved in firing anyone outside of the US, and I've never tried to get divorced anywhere at all.

If their abortion rules are any indication it's harder to get divorced in Ireland than other places, so maybe that'll carry some weight...
