It is indeed.

We do the later, and have changed the laws to reflect that want. 

That includes banning abos from spearing each other when one of them 
chooses to spear another because he rooted someone he wasnt supposed 
to root using the mores of primitive savages who were into that sort of thing. 

We also dont let those from the middle east stone each other to death anymore, 
and those from europe burn each other at the stake rather enthusiastically either. 

That part of all their 'culture' has the plug pulled on it, with jail if you keep doing it. 

And if abos choose to do whatever they are supposed to do to some damned
rainbow serpent or whatever when their kid gets sick, the kid gets some decent
medical assistance whether the abos like it or not. Their 'culture' goes into the bin.
