      Republicans are big on inserting themselves where they’re not wanted.

        It’s all they’re good at. Being animals 🤷🏻‍♂️ guess evolution was literally too progressive for them.

      C’mon man, how hard can it be? It’s just a series of tubes.

      Or was that the Internet? This is all so confusing. We need to get an expert in here - “Senator!”

    If you’re quoting Bible to justify your shitty laws, you must also prove breaking of those laws using technology from the era when Bible was written. No more ultrasounds, no more fetal heartbeat detection, no more DNA tests to prove that “person” belongs to a specific woman.

    Fuck these backward assholes

    I don’t think that sex can be determined until after the 7th week. Did Alabama just embrace non-binary identifications for children?

    If you take the most literal interpretations of the typical Christian Bible to the kinds of extremes these kinds of people want to, then they can make the argument that every single time people have sex that doesn’t result in a successful childbirth, it’s murder.

    There’s plenty of verses around stuff like “seed” that can be super abused and removed from context.

      • In context, the Bible explicitly gives instructions for an abortion.

        Specifically for when the woman has “been unfaithful,” or the man merely suspects it, much less a rape victim or any of a dozen other factors.

        It also clearly defined life as beginning with the first breath.

        The fundamentalists are just lying about this. As always.

      “No no, silly heathen. The death penalty is for sinners, and unborn babies are without sin.”

      They have zero interest in capital punishment reform.

    I don’t see IVF ever being performed in Alabama again. It’s sad, because a lot of hopeful couples will never get to have children because the state is run by lunatics.

    So if you pay to have them saved, then you decide you’re not interested in children anymore and you destroy them, are you going to jail for murder?

      Of course not.

      The clinic workers will. You’re on the hook for being an accomplice.

      Even if you have children. If you have 15 fertilized embryos, this would mean you’d have to get all 15 implanted. Good luck.

      Got one implanted successfully and threw away the others? 14 counts of first degree murder.

    Okay, so you can claim wellfare for your child minutes after you know you are pregnant, right?

    Right…?

    Alabama about to create a new kind of theft. Couple’s embryos about to get stolen and implanted in young Christian girls who got dupped into believing the embryos are screaming to get born and that it makes God mad.

    The article is pretty tame. No mention of the bible verse used to justify this, or mention that this has implication for contraception as well.
