    This is memeable, yes; but usually when news like this starts coming out a nation shit’s definitely gone sideways for it.

      Eastern Europe is going though it right now. One of my old Polish colleagues fled to the UK becuase the Church is slowly taking over and becoming totalitarian. Even if you have a miscarriage you’d be investigated to see if “it was done on purpose” or not.

      (From what I remember, this was just at the tail end of covid)

      It just feels like a conservative one party government trying to fill in time before the next election with busy work.

      Nothing pleases social conservatives more than cracking down on that weird music their kids listen to.
