A bill set to be introduced next month would ban consuming or producing sexual content and punish offenders with prison sentences of up to 20 years and $25,000 fines.
Ok, but the decisions made in Oklahoma don’t apply anywhere besides Oklahoma.
They care about it in the context of everything else happening, like the abortion bans and the don’t say gay laws. Sure, they only apply to their respective states too but that ends up being a big chunk of the US.
Germany is a part of the EU, but you don’t hear anyone blaming them for the fact that Croatia still doesn’t allow gay marriage.
The EU doesn’t run like the US. It is an alliance of countries, not states within a country. The EU cannot pass regulations unless literally all members agree to them
Several US states are actually more lenient than most EU member states when it comes to how late you can terminate a pregnancy. Pennsylvania, for example, allows abortions up to the 23rd week. Ohio allows it up to 21 weeks. Germany, on the other hand, only allows them up to 12 weeks. The fact that Texas only allows them up to six weeks highlights just how significant the differences between states really are.
The EU cannot pass regulations unless literally all members agree to them
But they can still pass legislation that affects only their country, much in the same way US states can pass legislation that only affects one state.
Oklahoma is not the entire US and it’s idiotic to insist that one of the least populous states represents the entire country.
