Soon in southern US.
If you think there is any similarity between the UAE/KSA and even the most regressive US states in how they treat LGBT rights, you should really really take a step back and reconsider. Yes, it's funny to call those states the equivalent "American talibans" or whatever, but it doesn't make it true.
It's so weird to see that people unironically repeat the most blatantly hyperbolic, obviously partisan and inflammatory rhetoric to the point of actually where they start believing it themselves.
And if we were to simply go by official laws instead of what the reality on the ground is, abortion in germany (and some other EU countries) is still technically illegal except for medical emergencies so surely Afghanistan and the UAE are actually just more progressive than the west!
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.
