@Duluth And I don't disagree how you see the US legal framework okay?
Yes variations in Europe are not synchronised, but they're not exactly prohibitive either. Few limits up to a norm of about 12-14 weeks, many more liberal than that?
There are perhaps 4 (?) real outlier countries in Europe with quite restrictive abortion access and of those 3 are tiny - Poland + Malta, Andorra, San Marino. Northern Ireland is a mess on abortion healthcare because "reasons", and that also does hit the UK news
There's a complex interplay between local law and the European Court on Human Rights framework on abortion. Plus ECHR case-law. Change requires cases getting up to the ECHR-level. Takes time. There is flexibility, but limits on that. It does grind-away and it does improve human rights
Not Roe vs Wade level, but there is awareness about the abortion situtation in Poland especially. 1000+ applications have gone to the ECHR from Polish women. Legal scrutiny of Polish abortion law is in play. It will imho take time to 're-align' Poland. But so say there is no discussion/awareness isn't true
Are minimum human rights real and needed, or legal invention? I know my view, but US legal system is different. However what has happened in Roe vs Wade is like starting to revoke chunks of Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights. And that would honestly scare the hell out of me if it happened here
I'm quite happy for individuals to decide for themselves on abortion. As on contraception. Single-sex marriage etc. We're all adults
