I just spoke with my aunt about this abortion issue in Argentina, and, perhaps from ignorance, was absolutely *shocked* to discover that Poland is the country with the *strictest laws* in *all of Europe* with regards to abortion. I'm shook.
Here, possibilities are if you've been raped, or if your life is in danger of you keep your pregnancy, and even *then*, you may not be granted an abortion.
I'm shook. This country, I love it, but its government is absolute shit. SHIT. Keep the demonstrations going, Poland. Don't let this government force Catholicism on you all when we aren't all Catholic!
We are Jews, too, and we're Polish. There are other religions, and also Polish. There are those who AREN'T RELIGIOUS AND POLISH. You can't force religion on a nation, you can't oppress women so they have to resort to life-threatening situations to live. Abortion is a HUMAN RIGHT.
I'm shook. I don't know what to say anymore.
Allow me to clarify: Catholicism isn't bad. I respect all religions. I don't care what you believe in. What I don't condone is forcing a religion on a nation when YOU KNOW we aren't all Catholic. Taking it to fanaticism isn't a religion anymore. And this Gov is absolute fanatic.
I know some of the most wonderful people who are Catholic. It's not Catholicism. It isn't religion at all that's the problem. It's fanaticism, when you take things and twist them so that they aren't the religion anymore. That's what the Polish Gov is doing to Poland now.
Let's take a look at Egypt (I'm half Egyptian, btw): my dad's Muslim. The country is *not* all Muslim. There are many Coptic Christians, and Jews, in Egypt. Yet Gov wants to force a religion on everyone. And it isn't even Islam: it's fanaticism. Just like Poland w/ Catholocism.
And btw abortion is prohibited in Egypt as well. This world needs a lot of work. *A lot*.
