Poland: the weaponisng of religion,again

Foreign Correspondent, ABC Australia, today May 1

Seems the extreme right in Poland land is campaigning to restore 'catholic Values' in Poland. These values are shared by the current ruling political party.

A socially and politically influential Polish priest has likened gay activism to Soviet control before the fall of communism.***

The movement is gleefully trotting back into the mid twentieth century at the very least:

Abortions are to be banned, along with gay activism ,with even sex education being criminalised. In the programme today a psychotherapist was facing two years in gaol for gay activism.

I think any editorial comment I could make would be redundant.
(((((((((((((((((((((((((((9))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

***Stupidly, this fool doesn't seem to realise that dictatorships tend to be socially conservative, criminalising homosexuality for example. Although I believe they tend to allow and even encourage abortion.

(((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((9))))))))))))))))))))))))

I know nothing about Poland

I know nothing about Poland so sadly, I can't comment on the main topic.
but,

"Abortions are to be banned, along with gay activism, with even sex education being criminalized."

normal stuff here.
So, Here is a not-so-funny story: I once had to go get Plan B pills at 4 am and pass by a female friend of mine give'em to her cuz both her and her 23 yr old boyfriend had no idea what a condom was or that she would have probably gotten pregnant........

that's what u get when sex-ed is not a thing. I consider myself lucky enough there that my mom is a gynecologist so she actually had that sort of convo with me when I was 7. usually here sex-ed isn't sth u get at school, or at home.....it's sth u get at pornhub.....

Personally, I couldn’t get into social conservatives ...I’ve always been liberal in adults (consenting) being adults about their choices.

***note***if an adult wants to play “being god’s children and a child of god, fine, thats their adult choice BUT fuck off because it isn’t “mine” and it has no place in social governance

This makes me so sick. But at the same time it's like a warning for me of what will happen if I went back

"The movement is gleefully trotting back into the mid twentieth century at the very least:"

Oh Cranky, you don't give their ignorance and intolerance enough credit. It seems to me that they have managed to trundle back to the fourth century AD, no mean feat for the meanest of ideologies. And comparing gay opponents of their faith to Communists makes them perfect idealogues.

You're underestimating their lack of education and intolerance, Cranky. They seem to have successfully retreated to the fourth century AD, no small task for even the most vile of philosophies. Equally idealistic is their comparison of LGBT opponents of their faith to Communists. https://geometry-dash.io/

The current developments in Poland serve as a stark reminder of how political powers can exploit religious and nationalistic sentiments to enforce restrictive social policies https://drift-hunters.org
