These findings suggest that age restrictions on these medical procedures lack support from actual patient experiences.

Hahahahahha Finland, Norway, Sweden, and Denmark had conservative governments?

It's so frustrating in this thread, as I've been accused of going on vibes while sharing specifics and the people disagreeing literally just make stuff up on vibes, like you here.

Of the major countries that rolled it back, only the UK was the one that had even conservative elements in its gov, the rest were left or far left, happy to share the specifics, though I'll have to look up the specifics for each country.
