I'm not 100% but I'd suspect I couldn't go to say Norway or France with a pergnet wife, have a kid while on vacation then expect to live there because the kid was born there.. I wouldn't suspect many countries would allow that, but then again I could be wrong.
The whole premise of anchor babies just encourages abuse of the law.

France, you could have but they changed their laws in 1993, so now you can't. List of recent countries that stopped the practice of granting birthrights to non citizens babies.
Australia (2007)
New Zealand (2005)
Ireland (2005)
France (1993)
India (1987)
Malta (1989)
UK (1983)
Portugal (1981)
Outside of the USA, Canada and Mexico, the only other countries that give automatic citizenship at birth for all, is the Latin American and Caribbean countries. No European or Asian country allows it. But you are in luck if you go have your child in Pakistan!!
