As US lawmakers continue removing the right for women to terminate unwanted and unhealthy pregnancies, Taliban officials in Afghanistan have welcomed to move and praised the regressive thinking behind it.
With many states now making it illegal to conduct an abortion under any circumstances, organisations keen on restricting women’s rights have celebrated the approach of the United States.
The news has been particularly welcomed by the Afghanistan regime, who spoke in glowing terms of the US lawmakers.
Taliban spokesperson Sayid Faizilliams told us, “We are delighted to see our brothers in Texas and other states clamping down on the scourge that is ‘women’s rights’.
“Women making decisions about their own bodies will lead to them wanting to make more decisions about other things that affect them personally, and before you know it, women will be thinking they are equal under the law.
“We are relieved to see that our American brethren recognise this dangerous risk to our way of life, and have taken steps to reduce the rights of women under the law. Sure, they could definitely go a bit further with the whole ‘subjugating women’ thing, but this is an excellent first step, and we look to them enacting further restrictions on the women of America.
“This may take some time, obviously. The caliphate will not be built in a day. Well, not unless the Americans are willing to hastily evacuate earlier in that same day.
“In the meantime, the Texas Taliban have our full support. Should they be looking for ideas on what to do next, then all they need to do is give us a call.”
