Romulus, you have shortsighted tunnel vision here. The article is about women's rights in the ME. You pointed out that abortion is legal in Israel as an argument to temper the praise on FR for Israel. First, does that really make sense in the context of the obvious? Before you trip on your shadow here, remember, abortion is also legal and prevalent in the USA. Again, that has very little to do with women's rights in the ME.
I'm no fan of abortion. I'm Catholic and abhor the very idea of it. But in the Middle East, they stone 12 year old girls because they were raped by their uncle. Women are mutilated for being seen alone in public. You've picked out one objectionable social issue in Israel (that we also debate here in the USA) to demonize the sentiments on FR.
I must ask, what do you think of America regarding women's rights? Are we no better than Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Iran, Jordan, Turkey, etc. simply because our SCOTUS ruled that abortion was not illegal here?
Undoubtedly. But it’s their socially-correct society they want to label “apartheid” in spite of all that.
Ahhh -Cutie from Croatia!
I am wondering how the PC police let them get away with this statement.
TTIWWP
And all of you know that!!!!!
Make sure that last W doesn’t stand for “with”.
Speaking about an apartheid state, there was a great article recently here about Saudi Arabia on that subject. I may have a link at home, ping me late if you want me to look.
I dunno. Last time I was in SA, the women were totally free to choose their Burkhas in Charcoal or Obsidian.
Some of the obviously difficult daughters were able to be free-spirits by adorning their sleeves with sequins.
Can Israel beat that?
Yes. I'm happy to be quite clear on that.
what do you think of America regarding women's rights? Are we no better than Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Iran, Jordan, Turkey, etc.
The massive scale and reach of the grotesquely pornified Western culture -- fully exemplified in America -- objectifies, degrades, exploits, and permanently damages women (and men) every bit as much as the barbaric islamic outrages you list. Every bit as much. American women can read and write and drive a car. That's about all they've got on women in islamic countries.
So you affirm, America is no better than Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Iran, Jordan, Turkey, etc. with regards to women's rights. Got it.
I think this account (Romulus) has been hacked. Either that or Romulus is off meds and needs some intervention.
At least one can see them.
American women can also go to school, own land, pick out their own clothes, decide what they want to eat, go for walks by themselves, vote, run for office, have careers, divorce their husbands, decide who to marry, wear a bathing suit to swim in a pool, visit the beach, cross state lines by themselves, enter into contracts, have their own national identity (photo ID), have a jury trial and be presumed innocent when charged by the state.....
I'd say there are just a few more differences for women in America.
She’s not a little girl any more. She’s a lying whore who betrayed her “lover” (some way to show the love!) to his death.
Romulus, "defender of women's rights", did you post these sentiments earlier today? Hmmmm. Interesting.
Oooo, I’m busted! Curses on your tenacity!
And that’s one of the problems for them with their none-too-neighborly neighbors.
Thanks Olog-hai.
