My mother, who was born in the 1950s and grew up in Amsterdam in the 1960s and 1970s, happened to live near a doctor’s office that provided abortions to foreign women back then. Unfortunately it really seems like very little has changed in the last 50 years. While reproductive rights on paper are largely ok in most European countries, the real situation on the ground often differs.
I for one, as a Dutchman, am still flabbergasted that abortion remains technically illegal where I live (Germany) and it’s only thanks to the good graces of the state that this crime isn’t punished. Why do Germans (Italians, Poles, …) accept this? This is not acceptable. As the article states: if men could get pregnant you could get an abortion at the barbers.
That number dies each a day on Ukrainian frontlines. Males, mostly.
multiple things can be bad at the same time.
