In Sharia law the woman has precedence over the fetus. So it is not less religiously radical, is just that when it comes to abortion [and divorce] Islam is not as anti-woman as Christianity.
Sherine Hamdy, a professor of Muslim bioethics at the University of California, Irvine, notes that for Muslim women, the U.S. anti-abortion trends are worrying not only because they harm women’s rights to reproductive agency, but also because they diminish religious freedoms, since Muslim religious ethics make a strong case for women’s well-being taking priority over that of the fetus.

This means that Americans in states that effectively outlaw abortion, including Alabama, Arkansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, and South Dakota, will have fewer human rights protections than those in Iran or Saudi Arabia—countries that are often vilified by politicians across the ideological spectrum for their treatment of women. Iran, for example, allows abortion in cases of fetal impairment, and Saudi Arabia allows for abortion when the health of a patient is at risk—including mental health, which can function to allow for abortion in cases of rape or incest—contrary to only the narrow “life” or “medical emergency” exceptions that are now increasingly common in state bans in the United States.

It is true. And yet it actually has been that way for a long time. The level of theocracy is actually lower in the UAE than in the USA. Which is super weird if you haven't experienced both.
Americans dont hate Iran on ideological grounds. They hate Iran because they are jealous of their theocractic republic and desperately eant to emulate it.
Unless you realize that the rapists would probably want this abortion since the rapists are probably well to do people who raped the cleaning lady or a dancer. But still a good move.
Let’s remember that the rich will have ways of making this happen even without it being legal. You don’t think that the criminalisation of abortion in various U.S. states actually affects the rich, right?
So they also have laws about if the mothers life is at risk.
Any word in if they're more liberal on that as well where the Dr's aren't terrified of doing one for an ectopic pregnancy or other life threatening situations.
In some places in the US that's not considered a threat to life until it's actually threatening your life.
The unspoken rule is that nobody cares. There are clinics that operate now in the non conservative areas in the open. Anyone, single mothers, expats, whatever, can get one no issue.
In the redneck areas, this is where this will make a change.
Oh that's kinda cool, I didn't know. If that's the case, it kinda seems like they're on the path to it just being fully normalized if those clinics are allowed to operate. I wonder how long it'll take to go from this change to the next change.
