Women have more rights now in UAE than US?
Breaking News - Middle East now less religiously radical than America…
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.
Good to hear that I didn’t invent the “pro the mother’s life” opinion first, I’ve just never heard anyone else articulate it out loud
Yeah just don’t make that baby in an affair
It’s just UAE, not Middle East.
The UAE here is actually catching up with other Middle Eastern countries:
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. [emphasis mine]
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. [emphasis mine]

Not just in the UAE :)
Alabama, Iran, or Saudi Arabia? We Checked Where Abortion Laws Are Better for Women. FYI, Haaretz is an Israeli newspaper.
Authoritarian Regimes Have More Progressive Abortion Policies Than Some U.S. States. FYI, The Center for American Progress is an independent, nonpartisan policy institute that is dedicated to improving the lives of all Americans through bold, progressive ideas, as well as strong leadership and concerted action.
Jesus, the US is sliding backwards faster and faster. Really cementing that first “3rd world country” label.
Americans dont hate Iran on ideological grounds. They hate Iran because they are jealous of their theocractic republic and desperately eant to emulate it.
Mullahs of the supreme court making them proud tho
Republicans have been trying to push us back for years.

That’s honestly really impressive. Good for them.
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?
Exactly. These rules are only for the rest of us.
“Arabs bad. must have nefarious motive”
Slave trading and abuse of workers will generally piss people off bro…
UAE is notorious for both.
A lot of progress needs to be made and laws and regulations are slow to catch up, but at least things are trending in the right direction:
Qatar takes action to protect workers from extreme heat
UAE’s midday break for outdoor workers begins on June 15
As opposed to regressing:
Florida joins Texas in banning local heat protections for outdoor workers
Good for UAE to allow their mostly foreign, grey market wage slaves to have a break in the middle of summer heat!
Sucks to be a wage slave in the southern United States, always has been. A lot in common down there with the Arab-Muslims world tbh, and not the good things.
Religious pests raping kids, check Idiotic laws around stupid religion, check Hate of the poor, foreign and women, check Parasitic elites leeching from the labour of these foreigns, poors and women, check
I mean I can go on but you get the point lol
But just barely, it’s just the absolute bare minimum IMO
A small step in the right direction is still a step.
Not according to most users on Lemmy
Likely born from frustration. It sucks knowing that the future you’re working towards is likely one you’ll never get to experience.
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.
It’s ridiculous that governments are still confused & trying to figure out all this no-brainer shit
UAE, Me & Dupree
