Yep, Texas Is Exactly Like Afghanistan Now. 100 Percent. Nailed It.

There are very few issues out there that seem to send progressives right over the edge harder than abortion.
The primary talking point, in the wake of the Biden administration’s dismal failure in Afghanistan, is that the Texas pro-life law is exactly the same type of Sharia law the Taliban imposes on women in Afghanistan. This is mind-bogglingly ignorant rhetoric that we cannot let pass.
First of all, how extremely Islamophobic of the left to attack the religious beliefs of those of the Islamic faith. The same group that accused the Trump administration of being xenophobic and racist for implementing a ban of travelers from majority-Muslim countries is now just throwing “Sharia” accusations willy nilly. It is, by their own standards, vile racism.
Second, it is an extremely base-level analysis that doesn’t actually do a pro-choice argument justice. It is simply laziness to jump to that sort of rhetoric. And we know why they jump to it. They see all the Afghanistan news and think it’s fine to just draw a line from what they think is Point A to Point B without considering the reality of the situation.
The fact is this: Women are allowed to go outside. They are allowed to work. They are allowed to drive. They are allowed to get contraceptives. They are allowed to make healthcare choices for themselves. They are allowed to go to college and earn degrees at a higher rate than men do.
