Prague is the capital of the Czech Republic, the people of which are known as “Czechs”. The joke is a play on the phrase “a cancelled check”, referring to the act of voiding a check, which is a small piece of paper that is filled out and used to transfer money between bank accounts.
 
The wordplay comes from a comparison between canceling a check (that is, ensuring it is useless and cannot go on to be used to transfer money) and “canceling” a Czech (that is, ensuring (s)he is dead, and can’t do whatever it is humans do, like play soccer or watch TV). The joke relies on classifying any embryo or fetus in the Czech Republic as a “Czech”, dismissing for the sake of wordplay the possibility that they may only be there temporarily.

First off, the joke was “an abortion in Prague”, as in a specific instance, not “abortion in Prague”, as in the legal status of the act in general.
 
A “sensible” classification of the Czechs implies that a different law wouldn’t be “sensible”, or else there’d be no point in saying it. Now, it seems to me to be a very sensible thing to do to say that all human beings, regardless of their age, ought to be entitled to full human rights and protection under the law.

Funny note, a few days ago Northern Ireland opened it’s first abortion clinic.
 
Like 30 minutes later our government held an investigation to see if they coud close it because the protests were so big by crazy christian people threatening to murder anyone who went into it.

Boring answer: legal on request, steadily declining in number since 1995, and overwhelmingly supported by a majority of the populace.
 
Very sensible people really, the Czechs.
