"Abortion is permitted until the 4th week of pregnancy, extended if there are medical issues" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abortion_in_Afghanistan). Care to provide links to your sources?



Every single source relevant to the discussion on that page is pre-taliban overtake. Citing a wikipage is just absurd in this situation anyways,it completely misses my point.

The law can say anything, the reality on the ground is different. So even if the taliban were to keep the law allowing abortion, it doesn't make it actually allowed. It would be like saying that finland has the most restrictive abortion laws in the world because they don't legally allow abortions (which is actually illegal there). No one actually believes that, like no one believes women have less reproductive rights in the USA than in afghanistann, unless you really drink the USA-centric hyperbole kool-aid.


Yet you can’t quote even a single source that supports your theory.
