We have the worst “allies” in the Middle East.
Fuck those religious pieces of shit so shallow to allow a human to be.
The sooner we can get off oil the better for this world.
Did they punish the father? Or are they admitting to immaculate conception?
Not what you’re asking at all, but technically all conception is immaculate conception in Islam because it doesn’t have the concept of the original sin (it holds that Adam and Eve’s sin was forgiven after they asked God for forgiveness). You’re thinking of virgin birth, in which case the answer is yes for Mary no for everyone else; in the OP’s case they believe in “the father got away” birth.
I don’t think you’re “getting” patriarchal medieval systems of “governance”
Both sides get the same number of lashes in Islamic law, so that’s not what’s going on here.

Sure but while Saudi Arabia can get weird sometimes (see: that one time they banned women from driving for God knows what reason) for the most part they’re pretty orthodox about this stuff.

American Christians tried to ban women drivers because the vibrations could give them sexual pleasure.
Really just two sides of the same shitty coin. We’re just a little further ahead than they are.

Wonder what would’ve happened for an abortion
say rights groups, which have condemned the punishment as an “act of violence”.
Thanks Captain Obvious!
Strongly worded letter from UN under way!
Even the UN can do better than that. It’s not even a condemnation … pretty sure even the pro-lashing people would agree that it’s an act of violence.
And we say single moms have it hard in the West.
It is possible for more than one thing to be true.
