Lol yes because preventing the murder of unborn children and being allowed to own guns are "wacky right wing laws".

Speaking as a non-American, to the rest of the world those are indeed wacky right-wing laws. You have to have been brought up in a political monoculture not to see that.

You being a "non-American" doesn't give you the right to speak for the rest of the world.

If you look at that map you'll see that abortion is legal for the majority of people on planet earth.

What that map actually shows is that Texas has more liberal abortion laws than the majority of the world.

No, Texas bans abortions from 6 weeks onwards (except when the mother's life is in danger). That's decidedly not more liberal than the majority of the world.

I'm sorry but the map disagrees

Then why do most European countries have more restrictions on late term abortion than the US?

Because they’ve allowed themselves to be infected by religion too.

Or maybe they're just humane and don't believe in taking away an unborn humans opportunity at life?

Easier to believe in Europe where socialized healthcare is the norm. But, no.
