@mjog Augh, I thought this insanity was confined to .us among Western non-Latin American countries
-
@teferi yeah, there's a few states over here where it's a plain criminal act. It's appalling.
-
@teferi we have some of the most liberal abortion laws in the world, atchooly: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abortion_law

@frankenspock what, even compared to Europe? Seriously?
-
@teferi yes, even compared to Europe.
-
@frankenspock Well, now my world is even *more* depressing.
-
@teferi Why?
-
@teferi I mean, we have great laws on the books in that area. Our job is really just to protect them, at this point.
-
@frankenspock They're constantly under assault and being undermined (cf. the Guttmacher study on the impact of PPACA on abortion coverage)
-
@frankenspock I had somehow thought that this was a non-issue in other First World countries due to people being LESS CRAZY.
-
@frankenspock clearly I could not have been less wrong.
-
@teferi people are crazy all over, man. It's nothing specific to our geography.
-
@frankenspock yeah, but our crazy just seems so...
-
@teferi Familiarity breeds contempt. And what and not.
-
@frankenspock I just don't see photos of protestors in Germany telling the government to keep their hands off their Medicare.

@teferi I suspect the German people are less manipulated by big business to make them angry than we are here, but I could be wrong.
