The measure is part of that country\u2019s regression back to medieval rules denying women the freedom to be educated, work or live in any way but under strict Islamist traditions, in which they are largely treated as property.<\/p>\n<p>This is the natural consequence of President Joe Biden\u2019s disgraceful abandonment of Afghanistan last summer. Biden\u2019s bugout left Americans and Afghan allies at the mercy of the Taliban and an astonishing decision to gift our enemies with vast stores of American aircraft, weapons and equipment.<\/p>\n<p>But also left behind were millions of Afghan women who\u2019d enjoyed a taste of freedom for  20 years while American forces and their allies held Kabul and most of the country. Among the hardships they now face is being banned from all secondary and higher education. They also can no longer work except in primary schools or health care. <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Travel<\/a> is segregated by sex, and rules even extend to which kind of cellphones they can possess.

Wade case that legalized abortion throughout the United States. Rather than focus on the constitutional issues, the debate has centered on emotional rhetoric about the plight of women in states where, if Justice Samuel Alito\u2019s draft does represent the court\u2019s final ruling, they\u2019ll be unable to obtain legal abortions.<\/p>\n<p>Americans are deeply divided about abortion and that discussion will likely heat up more once the question is returned to the democratic process in state legislatures, which is where it was until 1973, when a liberal 7-2 court majority invented a constitutional right to terminate pregnancies. Post-Roe, the public debate will return to whether (and when) an unborn child\u2019s right to life takes precedence over the right of a woman to choose an abortion.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s a debate in which women will play a leading role on both sides of the issue. Lost on the red-cloaked activists is the fact that even if abortion is banned in some states, the laws of the United States will still guarantee the rights of women as full citizens.<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019ll be free to take to the streets and to the polls on Election Day, and change the laws they dislike.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>We are not living in a real-life \u201cHandmaid\u2019s Tale.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/roe-v-wade-taliban-4.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Protect Roe v.

Like women in other Islamist countries, like Iran, where they are forced to wear a hijab, banned from sports events and subjected to all sorts of segregation, they know what a real war on women means every day. <\/p>\n<p>They\u2019re living in a genuine dystopian nightmare and must face up to the fact that, for the most part, their liberal sisters in the West couldn\u2019t care less about them. To the contrary, the American left is quick to regard any criticism of fundamentalist Islam as Islamophobia, not a defense of liberal values.<\/p>\n<p>As much as Americans will remain at odds about abortion, events in Afghanistan are a reminder that if you\u2019re really interested in defending women, the best place to start is in nations under the thumb of Islamist theocrats, not at the Supreme Court.<\/p>\n<p><em>Jonathan S.
