Not that I want either case to be a real thing, but it would be interesting to know if they plan to go that route.

But the article says:

In the past year alone, Taliban-appointed judges ordered 417 public floggings and executions, according to Afghan Witness, a research group monitoring human rights in Afghanistan. Of these, 57 were women.

While I agree that stoning women (or anyone for that matter) for adultery is appalling in the extreme, and that women and girls clearly suffer horrifically more than men under the Taliban, it appears that men have suffered the large majority of the public floggings and executions that have been meted out across all offenses. I guess we'll have to wait to see how that changes following this announcement.

Passing laws to make sure women are killed via medical neglect.

Given the direction Republicans have headed, it’s, sadly, not a stretch to think the public stoning of women will show up on their agenda, at some point.

or burn them at the stake.

In the meantime they make doctors kill women.

Or, dare I ask, is there a male partner involved? Shouldn't he also be stoned? What am I missing here?

Because men would not put up with it and would in fact rebel.
