You may have seen that the Alabama Supreme Court ruled that frozen embryos are unborn children and a valid wrongful death action can be based on their destruction—apparently making IVF impracticable in Alabama. https://publicportal-api.alappeals.gov/courts/68f021c4-6a44-4735-9a76-5360b2e8af13/cms/case/343D203A-B13D-463A-8176-C46E3AE4F695/docketentrydocuments/E3D95592-3CBE-4384-AFA6-063D4595AA1D

I kinda feel like we need to be really clear about the Christian Nationlism bent here and “theocracy” isn’t sufficient to me.
The lives are insignificant to him. It's the glory that matters. Presumably a criminal has ceased to be a glory, and is therefore expendable.
Always relevant in matters of theology and humanism.
That would be crazy!
And, this is not a North-South thing. Plenty of states that were in the Union or not in the South have assholes like in Alabama.
FECK. I no longer have the plumbing necessary to propegate, but I’ll immolate if that crowd thinks I’ll be an ‘Aunt Lydia.”
JFC!
Second Amendment? Absolute!
First Amendment? Pffft.
With all due respect to the office of Chief Justice of the Alabama Supreme Court, fuck him and and his self righteous bullshit.
We will never have a great society when we base decisions on theology rather than data, best practices, expert opinions, and, y'know, what actually works in real life.
I’m super curious (but not curious enough to do the research myself) about how this view evolved in Christianity; Judaism explicitly says “life begins at first breath.”

Tax the churches.
Every last one.
Wait, I’m getting an update. He is not, in fact, opposed to the death penalty. Because “killing” an embryo is bad, but actually killing a fully formed human is a-ok!
At least be consistent with your bullshit
All my reactions to this are blasphemous.
Because the thing is fetuses used to die a lot more because of this god's "intelligent" design until modern medical science made the whole business a lot safer.
So it's a bit odd him being upset about dead fetuses.
Normally, that would be sarcastic, obviously, but, you know Alabama.
💔
I'm also callous, as my Mom's house is the house I grew up in & when she dies, it's going to be a chore to sell. I'm not attached
I'm in RI & nothing could get me to move to a red state at this point.
I have my own house, so my Mom would expect me to sell hers.
She blessed you with not having a mortgage, which is a huge advantage in life.
I hope it all comes together for you sometime soon. 🙂
How long before Alabama starts requisitioning wombs to carry these "children" to term?
I'd stop providing the treatment immediately.
He should have stopped right there since he was already over the line.
And who the hell does he think he is that he believes he can read God's mind? This guy needs psychiatric treatment! Stat!
There is nothing Conservative about them
America 1st in 1940 made Pearl Harbor possible.
Modern Repubs are reactionary -- they want to roll back decades worth of change that most of society has accepted.
but also no biggie if cops wanna kill people. accidents happen!
Pretty sure that's what it says
It is no surprise that the court says what you find objectionable, because of that.
