The pill is free or heavily subsidised in:
- Most of South America (not Brazil, Colombia, Chile or the Guyana)
- 19 African countries
- Russia, India, China (completely free in each of those), and nearly all of the rest of Asia (including Iran and Pakistan, and notably excluding some ‘stans and Japan).
But not in the US

Remember the story of The Governor in Texas who objected to Spanish bibles being distributed in schools
He said “If English was good enough for Jesus, it’s good enough for us”

Spain was a Christian country centuries before Britain was

Was a Moslem country centuries before Britain.

She was under her married name, but here all women have to keep maiden names for legal I.D. Poor auld lady. Been running over every day to see her and she doesn't remember.
Fookin social isolation from Covid. SoQ ain't his jolly self this week.

You asked for people to criticise these countries and then nit pick when I did
Fair enough
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Perhaps a better question is why do people highlight America so much?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Fair call?
Easy target, less chance of fatwah or poisoning or beatings etc.😉
And, America deserves it quite often.

Because it’s in the news more than any other country outside the UK?
Because it holds itself up as an example and a model in a way and to an extent unlike any other country in the developed world?
Because whilst it does so it’s such an outlier in many, many political respects?
Because it’s probably still the most influential nation around the globe politically and culturally?
Because it aggressively asserts and imposes its values and ideals outside its own borders?
A bit of each of the above?

Ireland has moved on in that regard
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Oh is the pill now free or subsidised in Ireland? Thought it wasn’t.
Apologies all if my info was out of date
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Think north and south have moved on, mate.😊
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The only place in Canada where its free in Canada is in Ontario, but only upbto age 25.
Last time I checked Canada is in North America.

Not asking you personally, but why is Texan abortion law in our news...as in, who decided it newsworthy?
Why not abortion or laws on gay people or women from other parts of the globe more extreme than America???
Well, I live about 60kms from USA and haven't been there in 25 years and if I never go again it will be too soon. Don't hate them just don't enjoy being around lots if them.

When you have the US looking to wage war around the world in the name of providing freedom, I guess it’s news when internally they are putting in additional restrictions like that in one of their largest states.

Change your news channel
I don't think so anymore. Today, the US is very critical of itself.
Hopefully, with the pull out in Afghanistan, we will see less and less influence.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Well OPEC is going to increase production soon thanks to Joe's lobbying.
Green New Deal?
They will still be the leaders of the "Free World" for some time.

I'm not Christ, and I've been in a good few countries.

The pill is free or heavily subsidised in:
- Most of South America (not Brazil, Colombia, Chile or the Guyana)
- 19 African countries
- Russia, India, China (completely free in each of those), and nearly all of the rest of Asia (including Iran and Pakistan, and notably excluding some ‘stans and Japan).

Because in this case it's topical, Texas introduced a law and the supreme court just refused to overturn it
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Not asking you personally, but why is Texan abortion law in our news...as in, who decided it newsworthy?
Why not abortion or laws on gay people or women from other parts of the globe more extreme than America???
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Which countries in other parts of the globe claim the mantle of "Land of the Free"?
Maybe the hypocrisy of the most powerful nation on earth drives some of the criticism?

You asked for people to criticise these countries and then nit pick when I did
Fair enough
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Perhaps a better question is why do people highlight America so much?

When you have the US looking to wage war around the world in the name of providing freedom, I guess it’s news when internally they are putting in additional restrictions like that in one of their largest states.

Because it’s in the news more than any other country outside the UK?
Because it holds itself up as an example and a model in a way and to an extent unlike any other country in the developed world?
Because whilst it does so it’s such an outlier in many, many political respects?
Because it’s probably still the most influential nation around the globe politically and culturally?
Because it aggressively asserts and imposes its values and ideals outside its own borders?
A bit of each of the above?

Change your news channel
I don't think so anymore. Today, the US is very critical of itself.
Hopefully, with the pull out in Afghanistan, we will see less and less influence.

Well OPEC is going to increase production soon thanks to Joe's lobbying.
Green New Deal?
They will still be the leaders of the "Free World" for some time.

Christ. If you went to many countries around the world they have a superiority complex.

I'm not Christ, and I've been in a good few countries.
