Luckily I’m looking at it from the outside so I can say without flinching “if this was a functioning democracy and a functioning legal system this wouldn’t have happened”.

There are certainly shades of gray all over but I also don’t think anything can be excused as morally acceptable because it’s decided democratically.

> actually illegal

The thing though is that abortions are now in that category too!

Democratically elected officials creating laws without public support is sometimes necessary (e.g for budgetary reasons, environmental reasons or similar). Doing it in this situation isn’t that.
