English term or phrase: said it was okay
Testo teatrale. Un pastore evangelico fondamentalista si rivolge alla sua congregazione.

Where were we when they said it was legal to be a homosexual? Where were we when they passed the abortion laws? When this government said it was okay for those created in the image of God to be slaughtered before they were even born?

La mia proposta:

[...] Dove eravamo quando approvavano le leggi sull’aborto? Quando questo governo diceva che andava bene che quelli creati a immagine di Dio fossero uccisi prima di nascere?

Cerco soluzioni migliori. Grazie!

quando ha detto questo governo che... andasse bene


Explanation:
Rigirerei la frase così, mettendo poi "andasse bene" alla fine.
Quando, questo governo ha affermato che...
Se puoi permetterti di cambiare lievemente il testo potresti anche mettere "fosse giusto" al posto di "andasse bene".

ha deciso che... fosse la cosa giusta?


Explanation:
Quando questo governo ha deciso che uccidere una creatura (creata ad immagine e somiglianza) di Dio ancor prima che questa fosse data alla luce/venisse al mondo fosse la cosa giusta?

Anch'io, come Diego, cambierei un po' la struttura della frase, con il verbo nella parte finale.
