Norwegian Taliban

Knock yourselves out with google translate.

So, the hospital in Flekkefjord in southern Norway does not offer abortions, because all the gynocologists there have reserved themselves against it. Why? The reason one of them gives is that "he doesn't want stones flying through his window".

We all know who'd throw the stone, and who has thrown stones at other doctors in the past. Christian evangelicals, of which the south has plenty. One church publishes a list of all doctors and nurses who has not reserved themselves against abortion.

This is the very essence of terrorism. Harrass one doctor, and the others will keep in line out of fear of the same happening to them. Despicable. Religion of peace? Hah!

Religion. What do you expect?

That is terrible though.

I hope no one religious comes in here and ruins the circle****.

Group hug before Rhyfelwyr comes and spoil our fun with his ultimately boring tendency to be hard to pick on?

I hope no one religious comes in here and ruins the circle****.

If that happens, we shall have to retreat to the metacircle**** zone.

Yo!

Will offer more nuanced reply later.

One of them said so huh. Perfectly fine to refuse to do abortions, just like euthanesia. And sue that church for encitement of violence.

Yes, the article doesn't state why the other three won't do it, but my guess is that they refuse based on ethical and/or religious grounds(this is the bible belt, after all).

That's perfectly acceptable, I can't see how we can force doctors to do stuff they don't want to do. But I can't see how we as a society can tolerate doctors abstaining because they're terrorized by Taliban Junior.

Also, it's fun to note that even though this is clearly terrorizing people and using fear and violence to make others conform to your way, no terrorism charges will be had if someone is to be caught for this. Brown guys gets 15 years in prison, non-brownies get a slap on the wrist.

So who's the taliban here now? I thought you like the taliban???
