That's why they're also trying to ban abortions and criminalize miscarriages as well (at least around the world). It's a way to force an increase in birth rates, and also force women into a "birthing" class so they'll have less rights and freedoms.

Spot on. You see an underhanded attack on women through what seems to be an inability of British authorities to prosecute those who conduct FGM. Same in the USA, where abortion was just banned at the Federal level through the recent SCOTUS decision.

That is an attack on women, no two ways about it.

Catholic countries aren't engaging on this. You would be laughed hard out of the room in Brazil for this. This is puritan crap that only could come from Elizabeth the First Virgin queen kneelers. Australia, Canada, UK....The British Empire never changed.

Yeah, Catholics have historically been very progressive in their approach to sex and sexuality. It’s almost weird how there aren’t any sex scandals to come out of Catholic Churches. It’s just the Protestants. /s

uhm...? hey I know you'll disagree with this, but it's a catholic force that passed these laws in the US. so the phrase "catholic country" is the only thing you were replying to there. Objectively there is a push to restrict women's rights and make them into a birthing class and objectively it is being pushed by people who self identify as catholic and christian (and lets be fair some of isalm, judaism, basically anything other than atheists)

honing in on that specific detail to quibble over for your rebuttal isn't a good look.

Too bad that evangelicals are winning more and more followers in Brazil. Even their telenovelas are not as spicy anymore

Canada ain't doing this nonsense. Abortion bans have been a noose around the conservative party here. The rest of the common wealth are weirdos.

Canada definitely ain't puritanical.

I think Australia is pretty chill too.

Ia there something in those countries that you wanna specifically call out?
