Only the laws of a secular, liberal democratic and pluralistic state, with rule of law and universal respect for human rights are allowed to interfere with people’s lives, to the extent that said interference adheres to the social contract.
If you think this makes me somehow a hypocrite, go cry me a river.
But how can you not interfere with the lives of other people? Shold I go live in the woods? If I am a private company, how much agency do I need to have to avoid interfering with the lives of other people?
Interesting word you have there, “pluralistic”. Do you reckon catholics will have a say in what laws are passed?
There is a difference between accepting the results of a democratic process(which they do, I suppose) and doing abortions yourself even though you don’t legally have to and believe it to be immoral. Your judgmental attitude is misplaced.
Quit whining. Many catholic-majority countries have legal abortion. If church-controlled institutions don’t want to provide the full spectrum of healthcare, they have two options: fold operations altogether or relinquish church control. If you are curious what that looks like, come visit us in Quebec.

Catholics do have a say in what laws are passed, tho. And it’s kinda intended.
Basically, they’re outnumbered by those who think abortions are ok, yet it’s not good enough for them.
