Most Americans can, and I don't live in Iran but I'm pretty sure that would be very much illegal under their actually theocratic government.

Yes, you could say that, but you can't "lose" something you never had anyway and our Supreme Court ruled that there never was any such "right" granted by the Constitution.

I don't think you know what fascism means, and we "rolled back" rights that never existed anyway according to our Constitution, not because of any religious anything, so I don't know why you're afraid of the "religious right".
I'm downvoting bad takes and dismissing illogical arguments, as is the purpose of the downvote button. I'm trying to have discussion but that requires the other person to make logically valid points too which isn't happening.

That's because the claim I'm refuting wasn't presented with any evidence or argument either. There's no burden of proof on my statement here. So it's really not that bold of a claim.

No, you're missing my point. America is not at all "heading in the same direction." We're not fighting the same fight either. America is not and never will be under the kind of oppressive theocratic rule that Iran suffers, despite what your chosen media tries to scare you with.

I wasn't imagining that although that's what your phrasing sounded like.
Crossing state lines to get an abortion, and then returning home afterward, does not make one a "refugee".

What the hell are "abortion refugees"?
Take your doom boner somewhere else or learn how to actually use the word refugee

Most Americans would have much greater access to this than Iranians.
Iran actually lives under theocratic rule. Some Americans claim they do, or fear that they will, but they should look at somewhere like Iran and realize where they actually stand.

Teen, definitely. I'm not sure about pre-teen.
But keep in mind that pretty much all women/girls were married off pretty much once they were physically fertile in those days. You can't judge it by today's standards.
Additionally my understanding is that Joseph was either already widowed or had never married and his idea was just to take Mary as a "wife" to support her because no one else would and he wasn't even intending to expect any marital relations from her. However I don't remember where I got this idea from so it very easily could have been some revisionist teaching that isn't supported by the actual Church.

Except for the part where Wahlberg is playing a "composite character" of a bunch of the real life cops and investigators because they just needed to make a lead for the movie, which takes away from the "true story" part of it.

Rocky Carroll too, while we're mentioning Matt Craven.

The biggest problem with this movie is the suspension of disbelief that James Gandolfini fits the weight limit to serve on a submarine.
One of the most fun parts is that if you're an NCIS fan the bit parts from Matt Craven and Rocky Carroll can be headcanon as interesting backstory for those men in their youth before they became the NCIS leaders.

Is the opening scene of the SWAT movie based on this event, because that movie is what I thought of from OP's description?

Days of Glory is the English title of the film about Algerian French soldiers in WWII that is basically the French Saving Private Ryan.
However, the version I saw was in French and I'm not sure if they made it with English dubs or not.

Isn't that what I just said?
They lost a "right" that never was a right to begin with. So yes, you can say that they lost that right but you cannot say it's a bad thing because now we have the correct situation the way it's supposed to be.
