That's been my experience too. When traveling to China, we were given a class and they advised us to not discuss any politics, even American ones, overseas. Other items that were "off topic" including voting, rights for non-traditional lifestyles, abortion, death penalties, taxes, and discussions about world conflicts.

Abortion world be on the list of taboo topics when touring the US as well.
Not because it's sensitive everywhere, but because it's very sensitive in some places.

Sort of, you can talk freely in America about abortion without fear of death; we're literally doing it right now.
I think what you're referring to what is socially appropriate. Most of these topics would be poor taste to discuss in public, but the mere act of doing so wouldn't land you in the back of a windowless van, which is the difference.
