All we need now is another coalition crisis.
Can parties not just respect the understanding that divisive changes to the religious/secular status quo will be avoided during this national emergency?
I have heard mainly terrible things about conversion therapy, and would never recommend it, but I have heards lots of bad things about gender reassignment therapy too, particularly in minors, and THAT is physically irreversible, not to mention abortion on demand .
Either people need to be given the democratic choice to make educated decisions about controversial treatments or government has to protect people from them, but picking and choosing based on religious and ethical debates that divide a population almost in two, is not democracy, it is simply exploitation thereof.
And even if I am wrong, and some argue that it is an essential feature of democracy, now is just not the time.
We are at war, and in war, we are supposed to unite against those who threaten us till we have neutralized the threat.
Right now, Corona is neutralising us while we bicker amongst ourselves.
One doesnt need to be a prophet to make the connection between this and the time of year we are in.
